Found at Bed Bath & Beyond! http://instagram.com/p/BKXKlpxAGaA BH doesn't collect Shopkins, but from what he learned, they won't be sold at any of the "big box" stores and they're available for a limited time. The SKU for Bed Bath & Beyond is 46764614. Also if you buy the entire case, you'll get no duplicates. Happy hunting!  |

Thanks for posting this here! Just curious, how did he find out they're not going to be sold at any of the big box stores? Some of us have been hoping they may show up at TRU, Target etc. eventually... but haven't really been able to find anything out for sure. Bed Bath & Beyond is such a funny place for a special release of Shopkins to show up! lol There's a Learning Express store here in Delaware that got them too, but they're selling them for $4.99 each. Which is a bit high. |

They were found in Walmart's system. http://instagram.com/p/BKYYX_rAoez I really hope they show up at either Walmart or Target. All these smaller places like to upcharge for toys. The cheapest one is BBB and they are still a buck more than Walmart or Target charges. A buck more might not be much if you only plan to get 1 or 2 but if you plan to get a lot it really adds up. Especially if you are getting a whole case then it is $30 bucks more. |

Not sure? It's probably because they're available for a limited time, so Moose Toys made the decision to ship them to non-traditional stores like Bed Bath & Beyond. Other people found the Halloween Shopkins at Fred Meyer and one other store I can't remember, but it wasn't TRU or Target. Speaking of Target, I know some people had hoped Target would be selling the Halloween Shopkins. I think Target purposely passed on them, because with all these websites tracking inventory status, they feared collectors or scalpers would break into the stockroom and buy the whole case before the street date. But yes, a lot of people have found the Halloween Shopkins at Bed Bath & Beyond. The sad thing, unfortunately, is once a store sells out of them, it's not restocking them. They're available for a limited time, so once they're gone, they're gone. Which means if these Halloween Shopkins go on eBay, their value will go up over time. :-( Thanks for posting this here!

They're being sold by a third party, who bought them from one of the non-traditional stores think Moose Toys shipped them to.

Which is a bit high. Actually with Target, since all the pictures of the outer box didn't have a "do not sell before" date, I don't think that's why. It kinda looks like they aren't even bothering with toys for Halloween other than the Barbies and Chelseas that are in the Barbie aisle and their own Spritz branded party favors. I guess they figure Halloween isn't really a "gift" holiday so much as a "party" holiday. I forgot about Fred Meyer. Unfortunately even tho they sold them for a reasonable $2.99 none exist near me. I wonder if I should check some local chains tho. |

Has anyone tried Hallmark stores? I was wondering if they might get them, since some of the ones around here do carry Shopkins. They also send out a lot of email coupons, so might be able to get a good deal if so!  |
