And another Kmart bites the dust....

Yes, it was somewhere on here that it said Kmart was having a new clearance sale on toys this week. But i was told on saturday that no more of those were forthcoming. So i guess Kmart can go the way of the do do and take their marked up toys with them.

Another area Kmart just announced they were closing in my area, so that will be 3 in about a 2 month span, and 4 in the last 9  months. Leaves only one actually "local", and 3 more within a 50 mile radius.

I found out that one of my local stores is closing.  Right now, they have 20% off of all toys (which is worse than the clearance sale going on at the other KMart locations). However, the deal is pretty good for brand new and retired sets.  I was on a time crunch, but I ended up with the following:

 

2x 76012 Riddler Chase $24/ea

1x 3184 Friends Adventure Camper $23

2x 3935 Friends Stephanie Pet Patrol $7/ea

 

These are the first Friends sets that I have purchased.  They also had the Dolphin Cruiser and Olivia's house, but 20% off on those didn't seem all that great.  I'm going to head back there next week to see if they have increased the discount.

Adventure camper at a discount is solid gold (perhaps to sell around christmas), since it is retired. 3935 is retired too, but that's not a beauty salon...

I just stopped by my local Kmart about a week ago ... and it was like walking through a "ghost town" ... as opposed to 3 of my local Walmarts ... which are total "zoos!"  I'm surprised my local Kmart is still open!

 

Funny Story Time:  so last summer when I went to see the Superman "Man of Steel" movie ... towards the end of the movie there is a long fight scene / destruction / mayhem between Superman and General Zod ... and at one point ... General Zod throws a locomotive train at Superman that then crashes into and obliterates a Kmart store ... at that point ... my brother leaned over and said ... "I always knew Kmart was a train wreck!"

 

I couldn't stop laughing for days!!
