    Retro Monster Cereals...anyone find them yet?

    I've been to my Target three times looking for these and nothing.

    Just for the heck of it I looked on Ebay and sure enough, some guy has sold ten sets, or FIFTY BOXES of cereal for $30 a pop. He lists them as "hard to find".

    Yeah...hard to find because people like him buy 50 boxes to resell...man that ticks me off.

      just bought four of the five (left yummy mummy). $2.50 a box. My target had plenty but looked like Count Chocula was going fast!

        It's been about 5 days since I checked so maybe I need to head over there.

              Guys, he's referring to the "retro" ones...I don't believe Walgreens or Kroger have those....they're a Target exclusive...

                Hey all! I live in New York, and here's the scoop:

                • Shoprite: They have the "new package" versions of Count Chocula, BooBerry and Frankenberry;

                • Stop and Shop: They have the "new package" versions of all five! (CC, BB, FB and Frute Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy)

                Target is still setting their Halloween product, so we should see the Monster Cereals "retro packaging" sometime this week.

                Keep watching the skies!

                Best,

                Van

                P.S. It pains me to type "Frute" instead of "Fruit". But that is marketing, is it not?

                    I saw several of these at my local Walgreens, not sure if Yummy Mummy was there.

                      Wow! I'm really digging those classic boxes.
                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                          Where exactly in Target were they located? With the Halloween candy? In the cereal aisle?

                            I found them with the Halloween merchandise on an endcap at the back of one of the aisles.

                              Pretty much as Steve said, right in between the candy and milk but these weren't on the end. Different Targets probably just put them wherever they can but still should be right around the same stuff. The whole length of the shelf was nothing but monster cereal. Wish I would have took a pic now.
