They have all colors out at my local Michaels. Anyone cut into one yet? Any idea if they have lines on the inside?
They are still full priced, so I haven't bought one yet to find out.

On the Gemmies there is usualy a line of extra thick molding in the inside toward the middle of the pumpkin also known as the dreaded black line for those that shade Gemmies.

Can't wait. My local Michaels is fairly far away. So I'm going next week. :D

So I have been to the store maybe 3 times and each time the bins are empty and when I asked about the foam pumpkins I get the answer "I don't know when we are getting those". My wife went in and asked for me and they said oh those are in the back we just arn't putting them out yet, how many do you want? :o

I went yesterday and got one. They did not have much in the bin still. Hopefully once I get some more money and hopefully a nice 40-50% off coupon, they will have more.

I cleaned out the store muahahahaha. I got 4 more today (60% off) so that's about 8 for this year. I think I have enough to do all the ones I want now.

Ya I need to stop buying pumpkins. I have plenty now. I might be ordering a custom one online as an anniversary present for my wife.
