Yay! And here come the toys! At much more reasonable prices than Zellers had them at, I hope!

Cool! Just out of curiosity, what kind of toy lines do they carry?

They carry the same toylines that Wal-Mart and TRU carry plus they get their own exclusives-at least the U.S. stores do, we'll see if Target Canada gets any.

I would hope, that with Zellers recieving previous Target Brand Name Exclusives we shall see them here as well now in the actual stores they are meant to be exclusives to.

Thanks for the info! Wanted to see if they carried WWE elite figures. If they did, then it makes it a lot easier to get them for gifts. Currently, I have to order them online.

Cool! I just hope they sell the exclusives at a reasonable price unlike Zellers.

I am so waiting for the big selection of Marvel Universe like the Targets down the States........ It seems like Walmart and Toy's R Us don't carry them anymore or something.....never see anything new.

Don't get your hopes up, figures and some toys will be a little bit more expensive than their sister stores in the US, we may be paying the same or a bit more for the figures... cheaper, I don't think so... hopefully we'll get exclusives up here!

I really don't mind to pay a buck or two more if they continue having new items and bigger selection on the shelves unlike Zellers... or those insane markup people selling on Ebay seriously.

I just checked the Target website. The first one to be open in BC seems like it will be at Coquitlam Center!
