mikemack 7 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 OK the inflatable section has been extremely quiet, so I need to get something going. We have all been using our sources for pictures of upcoming inflatables, scouring all the retailer sites and checking out Gemmys Halloween and Christmas previews. Halloween has already broken my budget as it look like there are a lot of good ones out there this year. I have scene a number of Christmas inflatables from the owner of a Seasonal Store, Distributor websites, Yard Inflatables, other retailers and such, but Home Depot's site caught me by surprise yesterday, as there are a few I had not scene and will now be purchasing this year, yes they have the Star Wars Line, but only 4 footers very disappointed by that. They also brought back the Reindeer Stable, will be getting an extra one of them for when one of mine bites the dust. But here are a few I had not scene and will be at Home Depot this year, hoping Bob may carry them as well, but did not see them on his site previously, but I'm sure he will be adding some.

Torqumada286 0 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I like the Husky one and the gingerbread eating contest. I have that nativity scene from Home Depot. It isn't 6 feet tall. It's shorter than I am and I am 5'8". Torqumada Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cim2010Gus 0 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 KMart has also started listing there Christmas stuff on there website....Looks like the bumble sleigh will be available through them this year... The price tag is a little heavy.... I guess they are finally realizing the demand for Rudolph's themed airblowns... http://www.kmart.com/gemmy-inflatables-96-in-w-x-46-in/p-009V005170155000P?prdNo=17&blockNo=17&blockType=G17 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xenon 71 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) My want list is long and the got have list is growing. add the Gingerbread Man eating contest for sure. No sure how the "Neon" CHRISTmas will look, great for Halloween, but not sure for CHRISTmas will work, we will see I am really nervous this year about how much I may spend. I retire at the end of November, and will have a sizable last pay check (lets just say about 400 hours of unused vacation). I really need to budget myself this year and not blow it all on decorations. Edited August 5, 2013 by xenon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikemack 7 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 OK Here is another great one for 2013 Xmas. Lowes in area do not even have Halloween in Top Stock yet, items are finally online for Lowes Halloween though. Check this one out at Yard Inflatables Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikemack 7 Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 OK here are a few more recent Xmas inflatables that I think everyone may enjoy, of course these are my personal likes. So far of the Mass Retailers, Walmart, Kmart, Sears and Depot have posted Xmas inflatables. I keep checking Menards and have not found Halloween or Xmas yet, as I usually have them ship me things as we do not have them. Finally you have Yard Inflatables that also has a great selection, he has the Bumble Sleigh cheaper than Depot and it does not appear on Kmarts sight any longer.

mikemack 7 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 All the ones you said were on Kmarts site, which usually means Sears as well. Be carefull of the Kmart site though as sometimes prices are jacked up because other wholesalers are listed on their site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xenon 71 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Was in our Lowe's this week, they hope to have all of their Christmas out by Labor Day. I usually try to wait until around Thanksgiving to buy when they usually go 40% off. I waited too long last year and they were sold out of most inflatables by Thanksgiving. And they have a new store manager, he would usually give me 20% off, not sure how the new manger will feel about that, but it does not hurt to ask. I may be buying a little earlier this year.
