Yes, you guys were correct thankfully. Especially since the online pre-orders didn't work out for most people. It's still a race though. If I didn't leave at 7:30 and get them right at 8AM, I wouldn't have gotten them. They're still not as easy to get as they should be. Hopefully, these sell well like it appears they will and Hasbro will make bigger vehicles / sets available everywhere and not just exclusives.
I'm glad to hear you were able to score a set for yourself. I still don't like how the situation was handled on Target's part by not establishing some sort of limit to the pre-orders. I was able to save about $20 by canceling my order online, with a big grin I might add. I'm just glad it's done with for me. I was plan on getting another Rattler to keep MIB, but I'm just really thankful I found what I did. If I see another one down the road, I might pick it up. I also got a PM this morning from a fellow Tanker who offered me a GREAT deal on a set of planes. He knew I was the one who posted about the pre-orders to begin with and felt bad that mine got delayed. It's things like that that make me proud to be a part of this community.

GOT 'EM!
Went to Rockaway, NJ Target yesterday, was told I could pick them up there: got there to find the guy in electronics telling me they had four in stock, but could not sell them until Sunday. Talked to guest services, and manager, but they stood behind the guy. Drove an hour for nothing. Week ago I called another Target, guy said they'd hold them for me, but for whatever reason they didn't. Called South Plainfield, NJ: They had 10! Reserved a pair for me! Very nice experience. |

I heard the walkie talkie call at hull st target around 10:45. I am glad you didnt make it through to the people at libbie. I called right around 8:10 and was on hold for like 8 or 9 minutes but they eventually got back to me and held it for me.
The forest hill target showed limited availability and I got there at 8 and none on the shelf and none in the back. Im pretty sure they will be every where in the next week or two but its fun to chase them down when they are first released. Quote:
if they are difficult to find, it is because of the hysteria we create that has caused us to rush to stores now and clear them out. they aren't inherently difficult to find, we are making them difficult to find with our own behavior. that is just my point. I mean, look at this thread, it is full of irrational reactions and fears that were completely unfounded. there was never anything to worry about, and yet we are worried. that's kind of my point. you have nothing to worry about, and never did.
Hunting is a rush for sure, but can get exhausting as well. On to the next batch of exclusives!!! |
