My closest Michaels has a few pieces sitting out on the shelf, nothing working, no display set up. An no, they aren't carrying the pyramid or temple and they aren't carrying the Graveside Diner. And nothing from past years, only the new releases.

I picked up The Dry Gulch Jail and the Opera House. Had to drive to two stores so I could use a coupon on each piece. Got home and the Opera House has a piece broken off. Not sure if I'll take it back or just glue it. I haven't plugged either one in to see if everything works or not yet.

All in all, pretty disappointed in Michael's lack of selection this year, not to mention their prices. They are definitely making up for all those coupons they issue! The Opera House lists for $65 but Michael's price is $79!!! I hope no one actually pays full price for any of it.

thats what I was aftaid, I dont really care to pay full price for the temple or pyramid, bt its beginng to look ike I need to look places other than Michaels if I want them

I wonder if Garden Ridge will be carrying anything Michaels is not.

I wondered the same thing so I checked Garden Ridge yesterday. Right now, all they have is some inflatables, no spooky town at all. Actually, I wonder what has happened to Garden Ridge in the last year because the place looked like a giant garage sale. They seem to be replacing home and garden items with table after table piled high with cheap clothes. It was weird - and not in a good way!

I know AC Moore in the past carried lemax but it always came out later. also does hobbylobby carry lemax??

No AC Moore's in my area so I don't know about them.
Hobby Lobby definitely does not carry ST. If it's more intense than a scarecrow or a smiling pumpkin, HL will not have it.

I went back to Michaels today, and purchased 3 more Spookytown pieces using friends and family as customers. They accepted the 50% off coupons again and the register printed out 50% off coupon after each transaction. So besides the coupons from email I now have 3 more 50% off coupons. Hoping more stuff comes in soon so I can use them.

I have $100 right now I can use for more stuff, and with my 50% coupons that means up to $200 at regular value!! Hoping for some good stuff. I am going to call Garden Ridge on Tuesday. I hope the stuff at Michaels has not gone on sale yet. I am going for my next round there on Tuesday no matter what...so hopefully nothing is on sale yet.

Michaels doesnt have anything on sale yet, the Halloween stuff usually doesn't go on sale til sept/oct

thats why I try not to shop there, that attitude annoys me, the only time I go there is if I have a 50% coupon and then I buy one thing and leave
