I went to my local Target and punched in the numbers. They had a bunch of them in the back. The lady I talked to said that she could not pull me out one of each. I asked to talk to a manager, and this is what he told me,
"They are online only. We are holding them for if you purchased one online, you can come in and do a local pick up. Or, if someone orders one and they can't come in, we are one of the shipping points and will ship it out to that person from our store" I thought he was joking. He kept a straight face the whole time. Great business decision Target!! I sort of hope I find them at my store and get that response, after which I will show them my order confirmation. |

Alright people these aren't online only, if they were, it would have been explicitly stated at both joecon and SDCC. Also most of the target employees asked do not know about these vehicles, as evidenced by what some of you have personally witnessed. This shall not turn into an anti-target flamewar thread, in general, and I hate saying this, most employees at any store do not know what toys we're looking for most of the time.
Everyone should be patient, we have seen 9/1 and september exclusive thrown around, so lets wait a bit before we make more assumptions. We are all lucky these are not black friday exclusives, or xmas exclusives, as toys are hard enough to find during the xmas season.

I've only been casually watching this thread, but this is nuts! So, are the friggin planes available in store or not?! :-) I'm guessing like most things these will show up in stores with a little patience and understanding. I know we all want our toys, but the hand-wringing and ass clenching over this issue is a little egregious. Trust me, I'm with all of you that I want to see and purchase these also, but I'm just a tad confused and worried that the naysaying is much ado about nothing.
As said by Shin, nowhere has it been mentioned (that I've seen anyway) that these will only be available online. If they are, then I guess I'll be patrolling eBay like most of the rest of you will be also. Last edited by Stygian; 08-14-2008 at 11:03 PM.. |

[QUOTE=botticus;259181]That's... amazing. Target.com has no in-store pickup. Nor would they ship from a store to fulfill online orders.
Ya but they will tell you anything not to sell you something. Thought it would be the other way around though. Have stock in back we would like to sell. |

Who cares... we'll have tons of them on the shelves in due time just like the Armadillo vs. Serpentors are everywhere now.
We need a little patience. The biggest concern should be how many to buy (and how many of those you'll open).

Called from Target could mean she was just there shopping too, but not as an employee.
Does your sis work at Target? If not, did she found them on the end cap? |
