Okay, just got back from my local Target this AM (Sunday). Typed the DCPI number into the system and BAM! They have them in stock. I proceed to the electronics dept and ask the kid to see if he can go get them for me. He types the code into his gun, nothing shows up. "Sorry sir, we don't have that". I tell him that I beg to differ and that he can go punch it in on the self-service terminal if he would like. So, he types something else in and nadda. Finally, he contacts guest services and asks about it and they inform him to put in four 9s before the DCPI number and sure enough, one box shows up once he does it that way.
So, he goes to the back, then comes out with a single HISS and driver. I asked if it was all like that or if the box was an assortment. He went back, and a few seconds reappeared and said that was it. So, good news is I snagged a figure two weeks before release, the bad news is I only got one. http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/j...n/IMG_0295.jpg Can anyone verify if the shipping boxes are just one type of vehicle per case or if it's an assortment? |

Hey we just got them in the warehouse yesterday and to get abou 2,750 right now not sure about anymore. We take care of about 100 stores in VA and round VA. THe date on the label is the add date which means that is when they are in the ad. We will ship them out in about a week. Target tries to wait till the last min. to get the stuff to the stores to save on space in the backroom of the stores as they are not very big.

I got mine today in my area finally. I went to two different Targets to get them but it was much of a hassle. I planned to go to one store first that reportedly had them in their stockroom, but decided to re-check my local store since a few days before they did not have them.
I type in the DCPI and they happened to have them this time. So I tracked down a young woman employee and give her the innocent act, telling her I had a DCPI that I would like looked up. So she punches it into her device and says they have them, but not a location. She tied to be all like "I wouldn't know where to look for these.", but I then asked if she could check the stockroom since I noticed on the scanners how they have that option. She does, and they're there. So she calls up a backroom guy about them and has me follow to the stockroom doors and tells me to wait outside. Moments later, she comes out with a single A.W.E. Striker to which I thank her for. I would have liked her to have brought out the box, but I didn't want to create anymore hassle for the girl as I figured it might seem a bit odd of me asking for more...or something. I dunno. Anyway, I got that one, then decided to try the other place claimed to have them. I checked their scanner and sure enough, had them. I look around for someone, but don't find anyone around, so I go to electronics and the guy was very nice when I asked if he could look up the DCPI as I had heard they had some in the stockroom. He checks and sees they are there and calls the backroom guy to bring a case out. While waiting, I chatted a bit with the guy about game systems and stuff. The guy then shows up with the box and it's opened. I tell the guy I'm looking for the tank and jet looking ones. He hands me the remaining two I needed and that was that. XD I've so far only opened the A.W.E. Striker and it's nostalgic, holding something I had years ago as a child once again. Now I'm free until the newest Wave of Joes show up around here. |

My big hope is that when I go to a store on 4/13 that they're not all sold out before the street date because everyone knew they were out and found helpful employees. I don't have the money budgetted in until then.

The one got mine at had 8 cases in the back and said that they have more on order, so here's to hoping that they are plentiful in a few weeks.

For my fellow Illinois joes...I just got back from the Target in Highland park on Rt 41. They had 5 boxes in stock. I had to punch in the DPI number and then grab a helpful employee from the electronics department. I got 2 hiss tanks and one shark. They put out the AWE on the floor. So if you want them, get their quick. They should have 4 more boxes ( minus one Hiss) in the back.
Good luck! |

I am not sure I know we do ship to some NC stores if not us it would be the SC center. I wish I could just ship to you cause that would mean I could just buy from the DC but I have to wait just like you guys. I can just track it alittle better. Also we do not have any more cases of the single card figures at all in the DC so what you have is what you have at the stores
