Hi Everyone,
This is the big week for Daffy! Friday the post office releases his stamp and Saturday Walmarts will have the in store promotion starting at 10 AM! The larger post offices should have some merchandise in on Friday too. But for those of us who live in the sticks it will probably be a few days later. Some of the smaller items have already shown up at our Walmarts-hopefully there will be much more Saturday!

Walmarts has some USPS stamp magnets in. There are large 4"x6" flat ones, smaller flat ones and little wooden mailboxes too that hold rolls of 100 stamps. They all feature pictures of the 3 stamps that are already out-Bugs, Tweety & Sylvester and Daffy. All are $1.97 each.
I have heard of these several times but haven't seen them locally-talking plastic cookie jars. They are about 10" tall and feature Taz and Tweety. You can press a button on them to make them talk or they talk when you open the lid. Around $20. Thanks to Curtis for the tip!
Targets has window playfaces on clearance. These are small satin polyester faces of the characters that have a suction cup to hang them with. We use them in the back window of our truck-we get a lot of stares! Tweety, Sylvester, Taz or Bugs in the automotive section. $4.10 each
Targets has 3 tapestry look pillows in. They are stitched to look like a picture. Tweety, Taz, or Marvin. $12.99 each
Targets has 2 large beach towels in. Tweety playing soccer and Tweety & Sylvester swimming with a shark. $14.99 each
Targets has a Tweety bathroom towel set in. It is white with Tweety's face embroidered in the center. Comes with a handtowel and washcloth. $19.99
Targets has a plastic Tweety shower curtain in. Ours was out of stock so I don't know what pattern is on it. $19.99
Targets has lots of keychains in the automotive section. The new ones at ours were beanies and talking ones. The beanies come as Bugs, Speedy, Marvin, Taz, or Tweety at $4.99 each. The talking ones come as Marvin, Taz, Bugs, or Tweety at $5.99 each.

Because of much lobbying on the part of their Looney users, the auction site EBay has added a Warner Brothers Collectibles section. Now if we could just teach the Disney sellers which character belongs where! URL: http://listings.ebay.com/aw/listings/list/category1537/index.html
Hallmark is releasing a series of small repro lunchboxes. One of them will be a Looney Tunes Rodeo one! Don't rush out to the stores yet though-the release date isn't until September 9th. These will be numbered editions of 9,999 and sell for $10.95. You can find out more on their official page.
