Are you allowed to love? I thought it was forbidden for a Jedi.

And now a new type of post.  The purpose of this blog is not just to record stories of my past acquisitions but to serve as a log of new additions to the collection.

My cousin works at Target setting up the new displays.  I received a text this morning with pictures of new Valentine's Day Star Wars items.  I decided to go check them out.

When I entered the store I remembered that I saw a post of new items in the $1.00 bin.  My Target has been under construction so they currently don't have $1.00 bins.

I found a few new items in the bin.  Two 48 sheet memo pads, two 60 sheet journals and some light up yo-yos.  I picked up the pads and journals and a R2-D2 light-up yo-yo.  All of these items are by Innovative Designs.

I headed into the Valentine's Day section.  There were enough Star Wars items to take up their own set of shelves.  There were three sizes of M&M dispensers (Vader, Boba, Red Jedi), heart shaped boxes of candy, teddy bears, candy tins, character plushes and mugs filled with candy. The paper valentines were kept in another aisle.  

I decided to pick up some items today and wait and see if anything would end up in the clearance bin.  I picked up the medium sized Darth Vader M&M's Dispenser, all three of the small M&M's banks, and the Character Plush with Conversation Hearts Yoda and Vader.  

Medium Size Dispenser $4.99

Boba Fett M&M's Bank- $2.99

Red as Jedi M&M's Bank -$2.99

Darth Vader M&M's Bank -$2.99

Vader Character Plush With Conversation Hearts - $3.99

Yoda Character Plush With Conversation Hearts - $3.99

Slap Band - $3.99

I next went to the toy section to do my regular check for new figures.  I was hoping to find the new Episode I figures.  No luck.  Just Clone Wars figures and 4 or 5 Vintage Collection figures.  I glanced down and noticed a little shelf/bin under the main shelf.  It was labeled "$5 and Under".    The shelf was empty except for a few Slap Bands- Vader, Darth Maul and Anakin.   Having never seen one before, I picked one up to add a new category to my collection.  I'm not quite sure now to catalogue it.  Maybe under "Apparel"?
