Trash Pack Toys at Target
Enlarge Image!
Fans of the Trash Pack series toys (Amazon.com search*) will want to check their local Target stores for Series Three, the blind bag sets, and even some older Trash Pack toys on clearance. I continue to be impressed with how the line seems to hang on in stores; I thought for sure this would quickly fail. I seem to have been wrong.

I picked up, put back, picked up, put back, picked up and finally put back an 8-figure pack from Series 2 yesterday at Target, not so much because I’m that big a fan of the Trash Pack Trashies but because it was marked down to $3 and change. In the end I decided to instead put the money toward the Lego Monster Fighters Swamp Creature pack instead and, having opened, assembled and played with it (Review coming tomorrow!) I know I made the right decision.
It’s not that there’s anything THAT wrong with the Trash Pack Trashies but the line suffers from (A) very obvious, simplistic designs (hoho! a smelly sock! funny!) and (B) the paint apps are really terrible on a lot of them and that, wedded to the unoriginal sculpts, just leaves me kind of cold. They’re OK but I have to admit there are other things I’d rather be spending my money on.
Oops, too insteads in one sentence!
