Fellow HAWK, Greg Priebe, alerted me to these great Pulp style rocket sippy-cups that are currently on clearance at Target stores. Below is a photo shown with 28mm figures. Oddly, at the store where Greg found them they were on clearance for $1.49 USD, and at my local store they were on clearance for $2.08 USD. They will make either great Pulp style rocket ships, or regular sci-fi dropships. Hopefully in the next couple days I will be able to post some photos of a repainted one. For more photos, see my blog: link

What part of the store can they be found in?

In the store I was in they were located on an aisle-ender near the kitchen-wares department. Along with other clearence items, mainly mugs and travel mugs.

Clearance items are put on back endcaps all over the store. You never know what you are going to find.

Thanks for the notice about these. I went out today and found some. For anyone in Chicago, the Cicero Store on Cicero has them for $1.50 USD. At my store they were in the kitchen wares department. Clearance signage, but in a regular aisle. Here's a pic of one next to a Battletech Javelin and Mechwarrior Centurion. Not really big enough to be a scale dropship based on the pic below, but I'll find some use for it anyway.

How great are they! Shame they're not this side of the pond.
