Default Target New Beetle $1 - please help

Hey guys...
I'm already designing/collecting items for 2011's Roswell Trophies.

Pam found some perfect 1:64 scale New Beetles that are slightly smaller than a matchbox New Beetle.

For those of you that are Roswell fans, live near Targets and/or just want to help a brotha out.... Please check out the $1 bins at the front of your local Targets for me. I'm needing to get about 30-35, have only found 9 locally out of 10 stores that we have around the metroplex and are quickly running out of our radius. We really only found 4 at one store and 5 at another...but struck out at the other stores. So still trying to locate about 20-25ish.

If you would like to be reimbursed, shoot me a pm - if you want to donate them for the cause that would be greatly appreciated.

Here is what the box looks like (yeah, there's a porsche in there...but it helps to know what you are looking for)





Thanks for looking for me!

I picked up 5 of them this morning. I'll get them in the mail to you this weekend. All green, I think that's the only color they had.

Woo Hoo Cameron - green is a good alien color! I think they are only green also.

Thanks for spending the time to look guys/gals.

I hit 2 stores today and only found 2 of them. I plan to check a few more stores in the next couple of days. If you will PM me a mailing address, Antoine, I will mail you all I can find as soon as I finish my search.

I have 3 more stores in my area. Hopefully they will all restock soon.

Default Red ones!

I picked up five red ones for you at my local Target. They only had red...good match for the person up above who was only able to get green ones.
My husband said he told me about these a month ago...but I never heard. Guess that is when they were first introduced in the dollar spot and he said they had loads of them. Too bad.
We also had matchbox cars with beetles in them. One was an altered racer sort and one was a beetle but with mickey mouse on them. I thought about picking them up, but wasn't so sure...
Anyhow, shot me a pm or something with your address and I will gladly send them. The newbeetle.org family has been a great help to me!
