Thank you. The black cat and winged bat look awesome. I’m assuming the black cat and the bat are from last year. That would go nicely with this years witch.
I’m so tempted to splurge on one or two of those. This tariff thing of yes, no, maybe so it just makes me hesitant to buy anything because I really want a few things at Home Depot. Then there is a possibility that Home Depot just gives up and frustration because of the uncertainty, then I’ll hit eBay for those vacu forms.
 
The nice thing about the vacuforms is they're $10 each & the blow molds are $20 each, you don't need to buy them all, so it doesn't feel like a full on splurge.

Plus it's early enough that if you spend $90-$100 on them now it's not too hard to build that back up in the next month or 2.

Yet people are already selling the news stuff on the resale sites.

These are for sale on Mercari right now for $50 each:

Ghost

Witch

Lewis

Seeing Lewis on there was what me search for him elsewhere because I knew he wasn't around last year.
 
Here’s a picture of the 5 from last year and how they look with the new 3. The skulls are very similar. I know one of them I only found in the store. I think it was the spider but I don’t remember.

Ok so the top 5 are from last year. I love the cat and the winged bat. So we might see some additional vac forms based on the number they had last year. I’d love to see a vampire one.

Thank you so much SLCGirl for the photos and your video. They have really helped me make my decision on getting the two back forms from target and looking for older ones.. I will also be keeping a lookout for any new releases.

You are very welcome. Sorry about the backlighting the photos. I was just trying to get them taken. Also, check out Retro A Go Go to see if they have anything you might like. Several pieces from my wall were theirs, also.

I will get the mummy wall decor from Retro Go Go, great tip. Thank you again!!
 
As I look at all those vacuforms together I wonder why I can't collect smaller things instead of giant Halloween stuff? I mean I do collect Pez but only the holiday ones now but still, I wish I collected small Halloween things instead of big, hard to store, OBVIOUS, Halloween things.

I say obvious because there's no real way for me to hide those suckers from my husband ight now!!

It’s the American psyche “Bigger is better”. Big cars, big cities, big Mac’s, the Big Apple. Throughout the history of this nation we’ve had vast resources, vast lands for expansion and vast ambitions. For better or worst everything is bigger in America.
 
I thought they made them so big so you could hang them on the inside of your windows so ppl from the sidewalk could see. Following the "for every 10ft a sign's letters must be 1 inch taller"

FYI the check the tags on your guys' items. The hangables for me are $30 on the tag but $35 online. I went to the store and the manager did a 'return' and then rang them up again and price adjusted back to $30 so I could rebuy right there at the desk. Since I got the crybaby, heartie, and alien I got $15 back in the end.

BTW my Crybaby was poorly made

So I placed an order for a new one on the website. And then I'm going to return this defective one on the receipt. Since I don't want to futz with the price adjustment again.
The LED light strip has a sharp bend and IDK what kind of glue they used. It's very firm so it's not hot glue (and hot glue would pop off in the very hot Septembers we have here).
 
I was just online debating whether I should add the blow mold witch and I saw that the Lewis blow mold is no longer on the site… could it be he is already sold out?
Not sure still available on my site maybe sold out where you live not sure
