On yesterday’s DC Daily (as well as at dccomics.com), it was revealed that Target will be getting into the Giant game with a DC Primal Age book tying into the toyline of the same name by Funko. It sounds like the book will have a gradual rollout, starting this weekend.
The comic is located on an end cap in the toy department along with Primal Age action figures, beast packs, a Batcave playset, a PA t-shirt and a PA lunchbox. I bought the Batman, Green Lantern and Mr. Freeze action figures along with the t-shirt.
Has anyone found the comic yet? It retails for $9.99 from what I’ve read about it. Marv Wolfman contributed to it too!
I am in Huntington Long Island. The Target stores in my area(all three)as of this writing have not heard of the DC toys,book, etc. As for the books being offered by WalMart,of the three stores in my area, only one is selling the books and doing a lousy job of displaying, them. The books that were for sale last week that were up to issue 5 are this week only available as issue 6. Why doesn’t anybody care about this?
Has anyone else found this yet? I saw it at a different Target last night. The Primal Age endcap at this one was by the preschool toys. Kinda odd place for it.
Anyway, I really liked this book. It was alot of fun and worth ten smackers IMO. Plus, it has a nifty Michael Wm. Kaluta pinup too!
I’m more interested in reading the comic book than the toys. But I’ve been to several Targets in my area (LA) since the news about it came out and no comic book and no toys.
These big box store exclusives are a bad idea. Anyone who’s ever chased a store exclusive action figure knows they rarely, if ever, see the sales floor. Employees hip to the aftermarket buy them with their employee discount and resell them on ebay or at shows and cons.
The same thing is happening with the Walmart comics and will happen with the Target comics. All you have to do to confirm this is look on ebay. The hoarders are even selling the cardboard display shippers.
