Ditto :( :pirate:

Also, if you have a DollarTree in your area they had some different stuff this year and everything is......duh $1.
They have great pop up picnic food cover with hibicus on them and also lots of signs, etc. and they had puppy dog hula skirts and tropical shirts.

I couldn't find any of the clothing!
The WM's in my area they have the Landshark stuff in a summer/beach section in the front of the store (where they put the holiday & back to school stuff).

No luck on the CD. From what I read on the threads, it could be in the men's bathroom.

Will be checking WalMart again tomorrow morning. Hopefuly I'll find the CD and other Landshark items. Could use another pair of flip flops.

Got plans for the luminaries if our store has them as well.

Afterwards if I have time I think I'll check out Sears and see what they have in stock for the season. I'll let you know what I find.

FINS UP ^

I was back at Walmart this afternoon and I think ours must be way behind on the redo that the rest of yours! I found the paper plates again along with a few luminaries and leis on a short aisle which they shared with Tide laundry detergent, Lysol spray and large garbage bags - go figure! I found one Landshark swimsuit in with the rest of the suits, and no shirts, hats or flip flops; and my son really needed flip flops. Pretty lame for a supposedly "required display." And, oh, I noticed a display of AC/DC cds near the "prom jewelry" in the jewelry section! We're headed to Florida tomorrow so, as much as I hate to waste any of our vacation in a Walmart, hopefully we'll be able to find my son the flip flops and my husband the shirts and shorts. I need to buy some Landshark beer, srkmrd to make the bottle tops into earrings for Alpine!

Went to walMart yesterday. Had a successful shopping trip.

First we FOUND Encores!!

Also next to Encores was License To Chill and Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for $10

It did however take a half hour or more to find the Landshark display. Even then I wouldn't call it a display. The clerk couldn't even find it. We did but only after a massive search on our part. Finally stumbled onto it. The moved the shirt from whree they were last week. Now they wree with the parrot napking, tablecloth etc. there were also tiki torches and tiki torch fuel.

We never found any summer display with any Landshark item in it as there were in some stores. Maybe next trip.

We bought the navy shirt with the parrot on the back also a gray color with same design. We're buying some for gifts as well. That picture is so pretty.

The flip flops didn't fit us so we had to pass on them.

I do think WalMart is NOT doing the marketing job JB and his people are expecting. I think they need to follow up and make sure they are getting the exposure they want if they are going to market any other items with them.

We're going back for the additonal items soon. We'll post and let you know what happens then.

Went to Altmeyers yesterday. Found metal wall art signs for between $4.95-$17.99
some of these I reported on before. However there are many more to choose from. The cutest are two separate signs. A lady pink flamingo wearing a coconut bra and grass skirt. WELCOME is written across her. A relly cool welcome sign for the front door to any parrothead home. The other is a man pink flamingo in a tropical shirt an shorts.

Costco has a Margaritaville lifestyle display with men's and women's shoes and sandals, hats, and T-shirts. I found this at the Foster City Costco in Northern California.

Was at WalMart yesterday.

I found the cocomut M & M's at the candy area at the check out registers. Our store had them for .68 cents a bag.

So far have not seen them in the large bags in the candy isle.

Has anyone else found them?

Ryan texted me about the Landshark items at Walmart while I was MIA and I was surprised!!!

We went today and finally found a rack of Tshirts. There wasn't a special sign or display, I just happened to find them. And no hats or flipflops.
But we do all have matching Landshark Ts--all different colors, but the same parrot logo on back. :D

The Kitchen Collection store at a mall were were at over the weekend has a very nice set of summer pic nic dishes. They are clear with palm trees. They also having matching freezer mugs in the small and large size. Sorry but there were to many prices to list. However I did think the prices were very reasonable.

On the same display which was on a table near the entrance is also a palm tree shaped snack tray with cover. Perfect for a fruit assortment with dip, chips and dip etc. The price is $5.97

No joy for Landshark-wear in our suburban Chicago Super-Walmart. Found 3 Encores in the New Releases display. Didn't need that, though.
