Instead of waiting an eternity for Target to get their s**t together, I paid an ebay scalper & now own the figures. Target is the absolute worst of the worst. I never had any problems with them years ago but now I don't want to deal with them at all. Just buy their exclusives off ebay & avoid the unnecessary aggravation.
Red Card exclusive my ass! I bought Redwing off ebay too. I'm sick of this nonsense. I shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to buy a product from a store. The only purpose a store serves is to sell products to their customers. But Target doesn't seem to understand that & wants to be a f**king circus instead.
I find it helps if you understand that Target as a store carries I'm guessing easily at least 30000 different products in each location across many different departments. Do you want to guess how important Target considers stocking a specific exclusive toy that is mainly desired by adult man-children/collectors (I'm a little of each)? My guess it that is doesn't even make their top 25000 in terms of importance.
As a secondary note, I think it may just be your specific Target, or possibly your general region that sucks and got the short end of the distribution, I've seen the 4 pack at a number of stores. Or, you could have easily missed them and the workers at your store just told you they never came in to make you go away. Especially if you act like you do on these boards in person as well.
I say this because I've had Target employees tell me they didn't have any ER SkyLynx in stock last year on August 31st, while Brickseek said they were in stock at my store. Came in the next morning and they were on the shelf. It seems the employee I talked to either didn't want to or couldn't check in the back and just told me they had none.
I can address your sky-lynx issue. Last year I saw that pounce and wingspan were instock and I ordered them online for pick up. My order was canceled 2 hours later so I went there and asked about it and the employees said it’s on their delivery truck scheduled for tomorrow and their items show instock for the store when it’s scheduled for being delivered to their store. It’s less a store issue but more a computer problem already automating their stock. They said it happens sometimes. Same thing happened with Galvatron once this summer. So it’s less they wouldn’t go back and help and more it’s just bad system. No excuse but it is what it is
