The only catch is they don't give you your money back, they give you store credit. I bought some tins a few weeks back and the next week they went on sale 20% off. It was a huge hassle to get it done, because their system doesn't allow them to return trading cards. I got 3 $10 gift cards.
Targets aren't supposed to touch the Excel boxes. 3rd party vendors are the only ppl authorized to stock pokemon. Some managers chose to put them out, which messed everything up for ppl.
Double check their stock! My local target said they didn’t have them but that wasn’t true. They were sitting behind the service counter still in the shipping box.
Keep in mind Target's aren't authorized to stock pokemon cards. The boxes are excel boxes stocked by 3rd party MJ Holding vendors. Most Target's will not put these out. You'll have to wait until the vendors stock. But some decided to put them out. I got 2 of each and 4 Astral Radiance today from 1 Target. There are 6 per set, 24 total. That's it, guys. These will sell out fast.
Yeah everybody bought them at full price, because Target policy says you can price match any item you purchase at Target, if it goes on sale up to 14 days from your purchase day.
Went to Target for 8AM. Was standing with about a dozen other people. Nothing, we all walked away empty handed. We did see the workers come out with a pallet but the ETBs were not in it.
@@davidreinhart4780 I had heard this as well. I just went to check it out so at least I could say I tried. The app got botted about an hour ago as well. Again, tried and everything was gone.
I gave up on the Target dream when I heard folks were already picking them up at the black friday price before black friday. Maybe I am the dumb one for not going sooner.
I walked into my local Target this past Monday evening. The card rep was there putting product on the shelf. She pointed out the "Black Friday" $19.99 display. There was no one else around and I could have bought all sixteen ETBs. I purchased one of each leaving the remaining twelve for others to buy.
I’m in Murrieta, CA and none of the targets had there display ready. I asked the managers and they didn’t see anything in there system for that product. Meaning they don’t know when they would get them. I managed to do a search online and bought 4 box’s. After that they were all sold out.
Just hit up target in Baltimore county, MD. Nothing in inventory. In fact, customer service rep said they had negative inventory and no stores in a radius stretching to Westminster, MD had inventory. Epic fail.
In stores not different. Just went to two targets in northeast. They displayed them early and sold them full price before they even opened on Sunday morning.
I’m not gonna lie, seeing a bunch of 30+ year old men waiting in line for target to open to scalp multiple boxes of these etbs and finding out they were not there was satisfying
In my opinion the Costco 151 mini tins were the real scalpers. They had people reselling the next day for them. For this release I would see for this collectors who never had the chance to buy these etbs. I never had the chance to buy these since I started collecting a few months ago so to me it was a good deal. And for how good the deal was it was a mistake not to buy into it you know.
@ I mean it’s understandable because it’s a Black Friday deal with sets that are never gonna be able to be purchased in the future in store so yeah. It’s no different than people online buying 12 lost origins. I follow many different accounts on Instagram and they post that they bought 12 lost origins and 6 brilliant stars online through the target app. How are they any different than someone trying to get a good deal in person? The most some stores give out are two max per costumer. But online they can order multiple with multiple accounts. I’d argue the online customers are able to scalp more than in person customers.
Literally just got back from target in Northwest Indiana and I go all over the store looking for these $20 ET. The lady says oh we put those out yesterday night is not following the rules that they’re setting the day before I asked him when will this be going out? They said Sunday todayin the morning 8 o’clock I get there and they’re gone and someone else says they put it out yesterday. I didn’t even see them yesterday. I’m so pissed.
Was able to get 2 lost origins, 1 Astral radiance, 1 silver tempest and 1 brilliant stars, thankfully we were all nice to each other and made sure we all got a fair amount and didn't fight over them.
They haven't even been available prior to the deal, completely out of stock, I have been checking past few days. Even if I wanted to price match it wouldn't have been possible. Stayed up all night parked at Target. Good news, I still went into the Target waited in line for half an hour then the last 10 mins about 10 guys showed up for the deal, we all looked but didn't find them and we were all disappointed but 1 of the guys didn't give up and kept asking the staff, then one guy said oh yeah I have them in the back, about to bring them out so thankfully we were all able to get some.
Went to my local on Friday and didnt see any of them. Went back a couple hours after opening this morning and I saw all the signage for the 50% deal but no ETBs in sight. I can only imagine it was a 'Costco 151 minitin situation' and a bunch of balding men ate them up within 2 minutes of the doors opening.
Our target only let each person grab 1 box from each set. 18 total boxes I was fortunate that grab some 🙏🏻👊🏻 before the manager opened the door he said If any runs we won’t sell you any 😂
Just a little inside knowledge, the weekly sale is programmed to update at 12am PT by it self. And the restocking is done manually. If there're more in stock you will see them go live around 9am-11am PT thats around the time restocking happens on the online store.
I was up at 2am waiting for that massive fail, and then I was up and first in line at target at 8 am, for another huge embarrassing failure. Took a trip to 4 different PC vending machines just to feel better.. All out of order... But then as I slowly made my way, defeated and ready to quit, into a Barnes and Noble I got the target drop notification. 6 lost origin etbs later and all is right in the world..
Most target wont likely have it anymore. Its not target job to out them out, its a 3rd party (vendor) to set them up. Vendors dont care to hold off on putting the item up. My store had them on Monday, i saw them myself in the recieving bay, and today (11/23) the store system said it was lasr sold on the 22nd, a date on which the display was suppose to be set up. Most likely the vendor just out up everything they had in there. Not saying there isnt more but from what i see in my store there is none left.
If it's a Wing stack display vendors don't do it you get a box on truck from receiving and just open it and put it on the floor it wouldn't have gone up early in some places if it was vendors that's incompetent employees not reading the big sign with a date on it
@JohnDoe-ld8nr that's literally what I just said these displays come in a larger box off truck it may come from a vendor but these specific displays are set by employees I work freight dude I know what I'm talking about
@JohnDoe-ld8nr so I literally just bought some they were brought out by a target employee from the back the display came out of a larger box with a sign for today's date what do you know 😱
Worked at target for 7 years on the store and online distribution side. I knew something like this was going to happen. They don't hold inventory for sales. If they can sell you the product at full price before the sale, they're going to do that and hope you don't price match. My bet is that the inventory that sold this morning were orders filled from in store distribution. So when they got released yesterday afternoon, I grabbed 3 LO ETBs before they sold out their online orders, with the intention to price match today. Worked great. Hopefully people got at least something.
Was at local target when it opened at 7 am people already lined up we get in and people ran to the card section when we walked back people were asking the employees where the display was and the employees had no idea what they were talking about one employee began saying the sale didn’t start until the 28th it was a major bummer
Whole group of people waiting with me this morning when the doors unlocked. No product in store, manager said that it is a vendor controlled item and the vendor hadn’t come yet. Except… the vendor did come and restock everything since yesterday, so that was clearly a lie. Last night another guy and I checked with store employees and confirmed there were four displays showing in stock in the store. This morning zero were in stock. I recognized the manager as the owner of a trading card game store a couple towns over. Seems fishy.
Anyone else see the random restock at the deal price around 11am eastern? Got the notification from the target app and bought 3 and then they were immediately sold out.
I went to the target nearest to me two hours early and after 45 minutes of waiting, the manager came out and said you know we don’t open until eight. I told him yes I’m waiting for the Pokémon which he proceeds to tell me they don’t have any at the store. They sold out of the full priced ones and they have another pallet that’s sitting at FedEx, so it should be there within the next couple days. I went to the next nearest target and they checked the stock and they had none.
I went to my local Target this morning, 2nd in line was about 6 or 7 people there for pokemon cards. Doors opened they ran everywhere looking for them, just to find out the store didn't have any. Manager said they didn't get any stocked.
I had the same problem online early this morning.Nothing available. So I was at my local target Before eight a m with about thirty other people Waiting for them to open the door. When they did They asked us what we were waiting for we told them and they said they didn't have any. We let them know that the vendor had left it in the back room so they went and looked and found one display box which had sixteen etbs. We All got in line and each one of us were allowed 1 etb until they were gone. I was lucky to get one astral radiance.
I went this morning and there was nothing. Then as i walked around there was people walking around with boxes. One of the workers said people were hiding them in the store from the previous day to buy them today 🙄
I wouldn't of expected them to be available online cause there couldn't be too many still available 2 yrs later. Each store only got 4 of each so I total of 16 etbs. I went to my local Target today at 8:45am 45 mins after the store opened and they were all gone. The display was empty and I asked a associate and they said they only had the ones for the display.
My target had none available. Not because they were sold out, but because they were never in stock, yet they had the sign saying 50% of any Sword and Shield ETB. Why put up a damn sign if you never had it on the shelves. 😡
Target has a price match guarantee policy. People bought them out before the sale because when the sale happens you can provide proof it’s now on sale and get your discount within 14 days. Sucks.
I wanted lost origin but everytime I added to cart it was gone… only thing that was up for like 2 mins was silver tempest I got 6 , Walmart was same thing maybe slightly better wasn’t up for 3 mins and all gone… was able to get 12 tho..no one knows what packs are really inside but we shall see…
I had a small line at 2 different targets locally. Neither stores’ employees had any clue despite us showing them the coupon they just stapled to the the aisle and still nothing. However I have gotten a few off target app at the random times so far today..
My target didn’t have them couple days ago and didn’t have them this morning when I was there at opening. I was not happy this morning. Tried online too last night at 2:00 AM and it still showed sold out, which is why I thought they would be in the stores this morning.
out of all the targets near me only one had the display on open today and they sold out in 10 minutes. I got there right after going to a different one and they were gone 15 minutes after open.
I went to target and they told me they put the product on the floor last week and another target said they put it yesterday…. I then checked online and was able to buy it online when I was at target with other people.. complete fail
@@Unholy_moly I got there at 8:04 and was able to get 1 BS ETB. They only had one display in Jackson (so like 40 etbs) and they were gone instantly. Bunch of people walking in a circle taking turns picking them out. Got an air fryer and an instatnt pot for 70% off and a bunch of $20 lego sets so it was a good trip.
Made it to target about 8:30 am this morning one display had 4 etbs left one of each. Picked up 2 left 2 for others. Got one lost origins one brilliant stars. Hope others had luck like I did!
Sold out at 8am in less then 2min flat.. said there was a line at the door and they were allowed 5 etb a person... I'm done with black Friday it's just a disappointment
3 targets and everything was either sold out or the wrong price. The last place I went actually had them and an employee took them out of my hands and said only one person. I had multiple people with me and that wasn't good enough. F Target im done with them.
Going to second target, nothing stocked, sucks I actually got up early to go in store..... just to confirm you have to be there when someone stocks it or it was already put out full price like online and they sold it all already....
basically everyone bought them at full price and now that the sale is live, are getting customer service to price match. I saw others talking about it so did it as well to make sure me and a friend get the ones we wanted to crack open
Went this morning and they only had 6 lost origin total. I was the 8th person in line and managed to get 1 silver tempest. They were limit 1 per GROUP! not one per person. They did seem to have plenty of silver tempest and brilliant stars to stock, BUT ONLY 6 LOST ORIGIN TOTAL
I was able to get 4, my local target had 1 display near the animal treats. Someone had about 10 in their cart & said he ordered some the day before & planned to get those priced matched. Scalpers are the worst this year than the previous decade.
I HEARD that target is issuing like the difference. That was stated in some discords im in and then I saw em disappear right in front of me lol. Headed out in a bit to check the target near me.
Went to 4 different stores and found NOTHING on the ETB sale. No display, no ETB’s (the Black Friday ones), Nothing… I’ll check again once I’m out of work, but I’m pretty sure I’m just S.O.L.
I was lucky at my Target this morning. I got there right when they opened and they had just put the display out. I got one of each of them and another guy right behind me bought all the Lost Origin and one of each of the others but there were still Brilliant Stars, Silver Tempest, and Astral.
I'll be aty local target 7:30am,they open 8am,I'm hoping 1st they are in stock and 2, that we all split evenly,I was in store 4pm Saturday and no Pokemon or Lorcana displays set up yet,I'm thinking there going to be in front of the registers.where there was a clear area,so a vendor came in after close at 9pm last night or is coming in on a Sunday morning before the store opens,the manager told me if it's advertised they will have it, just be there early,I'll post later if I have 🤞
So I work at target overnight they had setup the boxes on the 23 a couple was sold but there was still a lot in there so I grabbed one of each box and I checked the price is still set 40 So I placed them back and then I clocked in to work go to the back grab myself to get ready go outside I see a guy dumping all of the boxes in his cart then he grabbed the 120 boxes all six of them we only had six and he grabbed all six of those and just kept adding more Pokemon cards into his damn car and I was pissed for the whole entire night working co-workers were just looking at me trying to figure out why I was upset
I’m still going to check my two local targets today, but I’m not feeling positive about it, even though I’ve been looking forward to this for a while :/
I managed to get the last 3 they had because someone put them behind the service desk when an earlier customer tried to buy too many LMAO! 1 of each ETB besides Lost Origin! I'm not complaining!
This morning, literally 16 fucking older dudes were lined up there waiting and they all ran in and then the target employee said that they’re not out yet maybe later
When the store opened up, there was literally people jogging over to the toy section after we didnt see them in the front. Then we asked them about it, theey brought it out, and within seconds they were gone. However i was able to snag a brilliant stars etb. One of my favorite sets of all time 😊
I was up at 3am for these then got up at 730 to get there at open just for there to be nothing there then I call at 10 and the employee says they came in at 930 and they are gone now. Love it.
I'm glad they didn't have them for online order, your bot alert doesn't even work people have bots that buy the items for them in seconds. If you don't have one set up by the time you add to cart they're gone
I got mine at my local target had to show up early and was 4 in line but luckily they had it single file limit one per person and they handed out the items so no one could fight over them. I can’t speak for the sale online was it was a garbage fest but in person at least at my local target it was pleasant( granted there was a very limited amount and not everyone was going to get them but at least the early birds were rewarded) and no scalpers thankfully.
My local target these didn't even hit shelves. I went today and they put a poster showing $20 etbs on an empty display that had crown zenith tins the day before. Not fooling anyone these got backdoored 100%. Never shopping Target again, shit chain anyways. When Walmart does the same with the tins on Monday, I'll never shop there again, no big loss.
It’s a total clusterfk from target. Why would they list it a day before the sale then price match for anyone who bought it before?
The only catch is they don't give you your money back, they give you store credit. I bought some tins a few weeks back and the next week they went on sale 20% off. It was a huge hassle to get it done, because their system doesn't allow them to return trading cards. I got 3 $10 gift cards.
I saw that coming lol I hate scalpers the most
i wish that people that bought it b4 price drop had to pay full price
I bought some from the website this morning for $20
Targets aren't supposed to touch the Excel boxes. 3rd party vendors are the only ppl authorized to stock pokemon. Some managers chose to put them out, which messed everything up for ppl.
Just went to 3 targets. Nada at all. Just a bunch of grown men with carts running frantically through target 😂
@@jeremylewis724 it's not even that serious. It's $20 bucks..... for sets that have been sitting so long companies still have product lying around.
Same here lol
Did you record it?
@@Ernie_And_Monkey nope, but online restocked on my way home. Got 3 silver tempest
@@dcchivasyeah all the normal people got silver tempest, the bots got everything else.
Everyone who was waiting in line were pissed because my local Target had none available at the time the doors opened.
same here, this was my 4th day here at opening so i had one hidden I was like 1 of 40 people that got one. Got my one brilliant stars
Same it sucks fr
@@ApostleThe344Sorry bro, i hate how ppl are acting so immature running over ppl for these
Double check their stock! My local target said they didn’t have them but that wasn’t true. They were sitting behind the service counter still in the shipping box.
Keep in mind Target's aren't authorized to stock pokemon cards. The boxes are excel boxes stocked by 3rd party MJ Holding vendors. Most Target's will not put these out. You'll have to wait until the vendors stock. But some decided to put them out.
I got 2 of each and 4 Astral Radiance today from 1 Target. There are 6 per set, 24 total. That's it, guys. These will sell out fast.
Just came from my target at opening. They didn't have a single box and the manager didn't know when they were getting them
I went to my target too and they said they didn’t have them, but they were sitting behind the service desk counter.
Yeah everybody bought them at full price, because Target policy says you can price match any item you purchase at Target, if it goes on sale up to 14 days from your purchase day.
I came here to let the people know that's exactly what happened because of reddit.
Went to Target for 8AM. Was standing with about a dozen other people. Nothing, we all walked away empty handed. We did see the workers come out with a pallet but the ETBs were not in it.
exact same for me in IL
They sold out a few days ago at full price then we just get them price matched for the deal

I gave up on the Target dream when I heard folks were already picking them up at the black friday price before black friday. Maybe I am the dumb one for not going sooner.
All of these sales are a joke. Scalpers are taking up all stock of everything on discount. It picked the WRONG TIME to get into the hobby.
Some idiot name Jim up above said these aren’t scalpers they are your average Joe who happens to need 40 etbs lul.

Negative inventory at our target as well. Worker said he’s never seen that before.

CT in northeast?
Dude same. I was waiting in the morning and the worker told us they sold out so fast last night when they put them up
I’m not gonna lie, seeing a bunch of 30+ year old men waiting in line for target to open to scalp multiple boxes of these etbs and finding out they were not there was satisfying
Those 30+yr old men have been here from the start and started the pokemon craze. If it wasn't for them you wouldn't have pokemon kiddo

This was so dumb. I went to both my targets at 7:30am today and they didn't have them at all. not even the empty display was anywhere to be found
Checked 3 local targets so far, 2 had no sign of these. 1 had an empty display….
Target has a price match guarantee policy. People bought them out before the sale because when the sale happens you can provide proof it’s now on sale and get your discount within 14 days. Sucks.
I wanted lost origin but everytime I added to cart it was gone… only thing that was up for like 2 mins was silver tempest I got 6 , Walmart was same thing maybe slightly better wasn’t up for 3 mins and all gone… was able to get 12 tho..no one knows what packs are really inside but we shall see…
I had a small line at 2 different targets locally. Neither stores’ employees had any clue despite us showing them the coupon they just stapled to the the aisle and still nothing. However I have gotten a few off target app at the random times so far today..
I can’t even find it when I search brilliant stars or lost orgin nothing shows for those item 😢
A singular person bought the entire display of 20$ etbs at my local target the moment it opened. Showed up 10minutes late and missed it.
People were buying for full price early and bringing them back to get the "price match" to the Black Friday price.
I'm so glad I accidentally fell asleep waiting for it only for me to wake up to the restock this morning 😂
My target didn’t have them couple days ago and didn’t have them this morning when I was there at opening.
I was not happy this morning.
Tried online too last night at 2:00 AM and it still showed sold out, which is why I thought they would be in the stores this morning.
out of all the targets near me only one had the display on open today and they sold out in 10 minutes. I got there right after going to a different one and they were gone 15 minutes after open.
I went to target and they told me they put the product on the floor last week and another target said they put it yesterday…. I then checked online and was able to buy it online when I was at target with other people.. complete fail
I’m going to target tomorrow. I got a stellar crown etb hidden behind some paper towels all the way in the corner. I guess it’s not on sale, lol.
That was yours?!?
In Michigan we still have 2 hours before target opens. Going to be a Sunday morning hunt. Woooo!
bro i went to two targets in ypsilanti and its not looking good 😭
@@Unholy_moly I got there at 8:04 and was able to get 1 BS ETB. They only had one display in Jackson (so like 40 etbs) and they were gone instantly. Bunch of people walking in a circle taking turns picking them out. Got an air fryer and an instatnt pot for 70% off and a bunch of $20 lego sets so it was a good trip.
@@finksworld bro your lucky me and my friends went to 3 and they were all gone. might be like you and buy an air fryer to balance it out 😭
Made it to target about 8:30 am this morning one display had 4 etbs left one of each. Picked up 2 left 2 for others. Got one lost origins one brilliant stars. Hope others had luck like I did!
Idk why some targets put them out early like wtf.
Sold out at 8am in less then 2min flat.. said there was a line at the door and they were allowed 5 etb a person... I'm done with black Friday it's just a disappointment
3 targets and everything was either sold out or the wrong price. The last place I went actually had them and an employee took them out of my hands and said only one person. I had multiple people with me and that wasn't good enough. F Target im done with them.
It never came live because it was all sold out before the sale started. Everyone bought loads of them and then go back to the store to price match
Going to second target, nothing stocked, sucks I actually got up early to go in store..... just to confirm you have to be there when someone stocks it or it was already put out full price like online and they sold it all already....
basically everyone bought them at full price and now that the sale is live, are getting customer service to price match. I saw others talking about it so did it as well to make sure me and a friend get the ones we wanted to crack open
Showed up at target at doors open and they claimed they never got their shipment. Went to a second target and it was the same thing.
Sale went live a couple of minutes ago, and I think everything sold out in minutes.
Went this morning and they only had 6 lost origin total. I was the 8th person in line and managed to get 1 silver tempest.
They were limit 1 per GROUP! not one per person. They did seem to have plenty of silver tempest and brilliant stars to stock, BUT ONLY 6 LOST ORIGIN TOTAL
I was able to get 4, my local target had 1 display near the animal treats. Someone had about 10 in their cart & said he ordered some the day before & planned to get those priced matched. Scalpers are the worst this year than the previous decade.
Oh btw, Target droped them online 2 hours ago. I managed to get a handful more b4 they sold out.
Tried and it didn’t drop till 8am got swooped before we could make a move
Went to target asked a clerk at 8 and all the stores near me were sold out like. No stores had any stock of etb
I HEARD that target is issuing like the difference. That was stated in some discords im in and then I saw em disappear right in front of me lol. Headed out in a bit to check the target near me.
Went to 4 different stores and found NOTHING on the ETB sale. No display, no ETB’s (the Black Friday ones), Nothing…
I’ll check again once I’m out of work, but I’m pretty sure I’m just S.O.L.
I was lucky at my Target this morning. I got there right when they opened and they had just put the display out. I got one of each of them and another guy right behind me bought all the Lost Origin and one of each of the others but there were still Brilliant Stars, Silver Tempest, and Astral.
I'll be aty local target 7:30am,they open 8am,I'm hoping 1st they are in stock and 2, that we all split evenly,I was in store 4pm Saturday and no Pokemon or Lorcana displays set up yet,I'm thinking there going to be in front of the registers.where there was a clear area,so a vendor came in after close at 9pm last night or is coming in on a Sunday morning before the store opens,the manager told me if it's advertised they will have it, just be there early,I'll post later if I have 🤞
Went to target. All they had was astral radiance and they refuse to price match me. They said the black friday was only on black friday
So I work at target overnight they had setup the boxes on the 23 a couple was sold but there was still a lot in there so I grabbed one of each box and I checked the price is still set 40 So I placed them back and then I clocked in to work go to the back grab myself to get ready go outside I see a guy dumping all of the boxes in his cart then he grabbed the 120 boxes all six of them we only had six and he grabbed all six of those and just kept adding more Pokemon cards into his damn car and I was pissed for the whole entire night working co-workers were just looking at me trying to figure out why I was upset
My targets put them out on Tuesday and had nothing left this morning.
I’m still going to check my two local targets today, but I’m not feeling positive about it, even though I’ve been looking forward to this for a while :/
My target didnt put up the displays 😢
I managed to get the last 3 they had because someone put them behind the service desk when an earlier customer tried to buy too many LMAO! 1 of each ETB besides Lost Origin! I'm not complaining!
I completely gave up when a guy bought half of them at full price on the 23rd at my local target
Me and my friend went to two different targets at the same time in both targets had nothing not even a restock
There was no battle. I went to 2 Targets and none had any in stock.
I checked two targets and none had then at opening 😢
I went to 2 Targets. 1st on only had 10 units at opening. Sold out in 15 seconds. 2nd Target never received any product!
Total Fail!
This morning, literally 16 fucking older dudes were lined up there waiting and they all ran in and then the target employee said that they’re not out yet maybe later
A lot of people bought them at full price and just price matched them.
It was obvious this was going to happen so I didn’t bother lol. Laughing at anyone that stayed up for this haha 💀
A my local target rn, we’ll see how this goes. To battle!
Update: they only had 4 someone who was full on sprinting beat me to them
When the store opened up, there was literally people jogging over to the toy section after we didnt see them in the front. Then we asked them about it, theey brought it out, and within seconds they were gone. However i was able to snag a brilliant stars etb. One of my favorite sets of all time 😊
I was up at 3am for these then got up at 730 to get there at open just for there to be nothing there then I call at 10 and the employee says they came in at 930 and they are gone now. Love it.
They went up online about an hour ago, I got 3 LO, 6 ST and 4 AR
I'm glad they didn't have them for online order, your bot alert doesn't even work people have bots that buy the items for them in seconds. If you don't have one set up by the time you add to cart they're gone
they haven't even put out the displays at the stores by me yet
I went to target on two different days when they opened and nothing. It's terrible.
i found 1 astral radiance at 20 bucks on an edge display in the electronics. wild.
Numerous stores haven’t put the shippers out yet. They are saying the shipper is probably in the back somewhere but they haven’t found it.
My target had them up for a week at 40. All sold out in a couple days at 40 😮💨
Nothing in my local target this morning. They didn’t even know about it.
Local target display was empty before they even opened lol
I got mine at my local target had to show up early and was 4 in line but luckily they had it single file limit one per person and they handed out the items so no one could fight over them. I can’t speak for the sale online was it was a garbage fest but in person at least at my local target it was pleasant( granted there was a very limited amount and not everyone was going to get them but at least the early birds were rewarded) and no scalpers thankfully.
My local target these didn't even hit shelves. I went today and they put a poster showing $20 etbs on an empty display that had crown zenith tins the day before. Not fooling anyone these got backdoored 100%. Never shopping Target again, shit chain anyways. When Walmart does the same with the tins on Monday, I'll never shop there again, no big loss.
