Hasn't budged from backordered since taunting me with a preparing shipping status. Popfindr still hasn't shown anything ever showing up(still says not sold at store on target), there's no way I'm driving to target every day. I check once a week when I hit up the grocery store

Back in July my 2 CT pre-orders did the same dance of preparing to ship and backordered. This went on for a couple of months. Finally one did actually ship and the other was cancelled by Target. I hate to say it fellas, but your pre-orders are on Ebay.

Anyone old enough to remember, or do they still have these, blue laws? Is Target making up their own blue law against selling toys before a certain time? What a flipping joke. The thing that amazes me is that Target is in the business of selling things, right? So it makes no sense that they would stop any sales whatsoever. Maybe if their employees were treated like MANY other retail store employees and their pay was tied to how much they sold they would be a lot more helpful.

To be honest, at this point I’d be fine with one shipping.

Clearly mentally ill. Target security should have thrown this weirdo out right away.
I'm also on Long Island, BTW, and I'd rather pay out the ass for these figures (which I did) than actually publically admit to this kind of sick behavior. Ugh.

I couldn't imagine being in a target for more than 15 minutes. I mean, what would you do for hours lol

Hey this guys is supposed to be famous in your area for G.I. Joe collecting. LOL! I had to watch this video twice to make sure I followed everything. Ya, I don't really get the 8 hours thing. I am not real clear on the timeline here. It is totally crazy to do that. If I see that I am not getting anywhere after a few minutes I'm gone. The only thing I can think of is that this did kind of seem like a perfect storm from what the one guy was saying. Sounds like to me the first employee got caught in a lie and they knew it when they called his bluff. Then it sounds like one or two other employees were searching the entire store for the figures. Did that take 8 hours? Sounded like it at least took a few. I relayed a story on here recently how years ago a store manager was about to have all the employees in the store tear apart the store looking for a DVD for me but he found it. So it can happen. I also agree at what point does another employee, a manager, or like you said security come by and help this guy or have him thrown out? So that is why I am thinking they must have been looking the entire time? And it added to the situation and time that the store manager was lying and knowingly and intentionally was hiding the case, probably in his office. This whole story is bizarre all the way around. It is a really disconcerting story to learn that we not only have to contend with so little product but also employees taking the stuff and not just hourly clerks but higher ranking managers. This just adds to the laundry list of why store exclusives needs to end. I don't believe they are a good deal. I don't know if anyone on here watches Shark Tank but I thought their comments on big box stores, like Target and Walmart, were interesting tonight and sheds some light on this topic. All the sharks agreed that dealing with big box stores is terrible. One even called them, "Hell." They said they are a "logistics nightmare." They said you have to know the right person to call to get things done. They all sounded like they would never want their products to ever be sold in a Walmart or Target.

OK, I still won’t hold my breath but when checking the Viper pre-order via the Target app... overnight it changed a little. It is still green, the circle is still at the half way point, but now I have no way to cancel the order (why would someone do that? LOL) and no way to change the address. The last two options were still present before I fell asleep.
Also I can search Viper and Firefly from my recently viewed and they come up on the app again in a search. I have them marked as favorites but yesterday using that all the results were errors. Last edited by JackKnight73; 01-16-2021 at 08:35 AM.. |

Good news for all fellow West Michigan shoppers--the Target website no longer shows "Not sold at this store" for Firefly. All ten locations within 50 miles of me now just say "Out of stock". That's a step in the right direction.
