The Target Sea Grass boards?

[hopemax]

I went looking for these today, and didn't have any luck. For those of you that use these, where are they located in the store? Was it a Back-to-School only thing? I looked in both office supplies, and the home organization/framing/decorating stuff. But this Target is a smaller one, so before I went to the bigger one, I thought I'd ask where in the store they were located.

Thanks!

Haha I was wondering this exact same thing. I've been to two different targets, neither of which had them.

:cry: Bad news! The Target store where we usually purchased these was out and the customer service department says they have been discontinued. We are not sure if the manufacturer has stopped making them or Target has just stopped carrying them.

They are made by The Board Dudes (Irvine CA, 949-727-9009, heydudes@megabrands.com). There were a few online sites that had them for around $27-28, but at Target they were $14.99...quite a difference. Also several sites said they were backordered, so maybe there is a production problem.

We hope to visit all the Targets in our area to get as many as we can. :x:

Well, that's a bummer.

[AverysFairyTale]

[pauly88]

Oh yes haven't been there in over a year...

Thanks for the tip! I just picked up 3, and they were 25% off.

Yay glad I could help!

These really are awesome. I wish I had known about them before I started some of my other framing projects. But here are our Animal Kingdom pins.

Those Animal Kingdom pins look great on these boards, hopemax! :bigthumb:

Animal Kingdom ~ what a great collection to have on those boards!!!

I absolutely love these boards.. am going to have to go on a mission for them tomorrow..

 

[sphinx11]

hopemax, those look awesome!

For those of you seeking these sea grass boards out for the first time, the one thing I might mention is that they can be a little...pungent smelling when you first unwrap them. So I usually air mine out for a while before putting my pins on them.

How well do the pins hold?

How well do the pins hold?

They hold just fine. Take a look at the two Pin Showroom threads that we have started (Our pin boards and Our pin boards part 2) and see some of the large and heavy pins that are on them. And they are all hanging on the wall.

 

[hopemax]

I took my AK board, flipped it upside down, and shook it hard. Nothing fell off, so I think they hold great!

 

[Bricklayer]

So I called the fontana Joanne's (as well as the one in la verne), and they said that they did not carry them =/

What are the measurements on these boards? Also, if anyone could be so kind in PM'ing me if they happen to find some around soCal - I'd be happy to send you a pin (and perhaps if i'm lucky to have one, a pin from your wants!)

I'll check the Target and Super Jo-Ann's in MoVal.

Can't help you with the places to buy in SoCal, but the dimensions are 18" x 22", with the usable pin attachment area being 15" x 19".
