Black Friday: North Knoxville reports

Wal-Mart had 8 big surprises, 2 of them were: the Thomas the Tank Engine BIG motorized train thing, the one that your kid'll ride on, was deeply discounted, further below the ad from yesterday. And that crazy FurReal ""Butterscotch" pony? The near-life size robotic doohickey? It's $149! That's hugely dicounted (normally it's $250).
Good luck getting those, haha. Apparently it got ugly with the ponies.

Target: just pallettes of stuff. Most everything in the ads, but scattered. The Jensen iPod clock/radio dock gizmo (we got one) was in the middle of the men's section.

Kmart doesn't have the Craftsman tool bench they advertised in the paper. Sad, as our little guy would have loved it, and $30 instead of $50 was a great deal... Apparently my wife stood in line for an hour to find this out, but it wasn't all a waste.

JC Penney is out of those globes by now, but we managed to snag one (they opened about 15 min. early).

Long lines abound-- Kohl's wrapped from the front register to the customer service area, all the way back, to check out.

Stuff you won't find: the Transformers Star Wars set (Millenium Falcon), or those flat-screen TV's under 30" for cheap... Oh, and no more Wii's or PS3's. I saw the Wii on Amazon, used, for $800! Ouch!
