Thanks for posting. Nice website design. Some of the witches look more comical but then some of the gargoyles look menacing. Nice blend I guess. I do like the new Gemmy Fire and Ice purple/red spotlight. The 7inch witches orb is pretty expensive. one of those items that Big Lots seems to have a better price on. I liked that the 3ft butler got a French Maid this year. oolala. Yeah right! ugliest hag I've seen. but perfect. I can see her pushing someone into the oven. I wonder if CVS might get her in this year. She's regular price at 40.00 and I don't think HD will have any sales like CVS might.
I LOVE the gargoyle. I wonder if he will be in stores. I did a quick look in my Home Depot at lunch today and didn't see anything where it usually is, but I will have to go back. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the heads up. I was just in the store today and they didn't have anything in yet. I ordered a couple pf the 30$ skellies to corpse up and a dog to go along with the cat I already have. Won't ship for a few weeks but at that price it's worth the wait.
I may get the posable skeleton and dog. I didn't see any resin tombstones. I like the ones they had last year. Does anybody know if those will be back?
Wow, Paint It Black that light looks fantastic on that Tiki God. I'm still so up in the air about which lights I want. If anyone has got theirs yet and wouldn't mind posting a picture or video I would love to see it.
I live in Rochester if there is something you're interested in that won't be carried in your store. I've had e-bay purchases shipped from Canada that were pretty reasonable since I'm so close. Not sure where Cambridge is but maybe a trip to Buffalo?
Just ordered one of the gargoyles. It says it should be here the first week of Sept.. Can't wait to see if it's really worth 90 bucks. I just couldn't pass it up. I mean, come on, a three foot tall gargoyle!
I will definitely be checking my Menards this year. I'm kicking myself for not buying a really nice looking skull mask they had last year. Hope it's back again this year.
I don't know if this is helpful or not, but we have a close-out store in our town, that is carrying the Home Depot animated Jack o'lantern man from last year. It's not the inflatable, it's the talking prop. They have 3 or 4 of them, and they've had them for months. They're marked $20, but I imagine shipping would be another $20 at least, given the size. I don't know if HD is carrying them again this year, or not.
Home Depot is starting to ship the Halloween items. I ordered the dragon phone (arrived Monday), the Lurching Reaper (shipping notice just arrived in email, so it's on the way) and the three witches (still waiting). I'm not sure if the three witches are the same as the ones at Grandin Road, but for half the price they are close enough.
Most Lowe's won't have their stuff out until late August/early September thanks to corporate merchandising. The plans won't drop into their systems until August 28th and the completion date is September 9th I believe. Some stores will probably attempt to set up earlier, so you may get lucky. I know my store is going to try to set up by the end of next week, but that's only if they get rid of enough summer stuff to do it.
Someone on the forum (not sure where) has posted a video of their Purple/Orange Fire and Ice light and described it more as a pastel purple/pink look. I was going to order one but after seeing their video decided not to. Just a heads Up.
i have the Red/Orange and the Green/Orange and really like both of them.
I used Spirit's orange and green fire and Ice on the outside of the house last year and it looked great, creating a subtle animation behind the colored spots on items in the yard.
I returned the three purple fire&ice spotlights I purchased online to my local Home Depot today. Clerk's comment was "boy, you start early".... um, yeah you have no idea ~ you should check out this forum!
He did tell me that our store should be putting out the Halloween stuff around September 3. Just a "heads-up".
Ah man! I wish I had seen that they had the fire and ice spotlights. I got mine for like 5 bucks more somewhere else. I would love green! Looks like they don't carry green anymore though. Why didnt you like the purple?
i bought one but i didn't like the orange light in it, the light purple they used was ok imo but gemmy could have used a blue light instead of orange to create light and dark shades of purple
Mendards was putting out stuff last night. The "brand" of all the stuff has changed, but a lot of the same old same old. They weren't done setting up, and there was a lot of blank space to be filled yet.
I did pick up a few indoor/outdoor green 1w LED lights. They were on sale for $1.50 as opposed to $8. I don't even know if I will use them, but figured I could return if need be. They were next to the party lights and spotlights.
