    I biked down to the Richfield Target it said they had eight origin bees they actually had zero. Only thing on shelves was a couple blackarachnias.

    Do y'all think the origin bee and world collide sets will eventually be available to ship, or at least won't be extremely hard to find? I keep biking all over the cities just for the website to be wrong and nothing is in stock.

    Richfield or Ridgedale? Cause I just left Richfield Target and they had 6 Bees on their pegs.

    You can order it pick up on Target's, too. So, if you're still making the trip it'll be waiting for you in an hour or two. Bloomington had a few yesterday as well.

    Welp, it *was* there but must have been a PEBKAC.

    Here's the punchline. Several hours too late.

    Screenshot_20210804-222719_eBay.jpg

    Einhazard nailed it. When I got my T-Rex from Midway Target I ordered it at like 2am for pickup. They filled the order, but the stock wasn't on shelves yet. So I'm assuming they cracked the case open in back to fill the order.

    So if the app says a store has stock, just use the pickup option. If they've got it, they'll fulfill the order. It's possible the inventory is outdated on the app, but so far I've only run in to that back during the early days of the pandemic when people mass bought everything out of panic.

    I'm looking at two Worlds Collide sets at the AV Target off Cedar.

    Are there people nearish Eagan that need a runner for these? I don't have much range to meet people and hand stuff off, and these are $85 so I can't exactly sit on them forever...but if I know people who need them I'd be able to help out somewhat.

    (Note, I'm not going to buy these today because that's nearly $200 that'd I'd be sitting on. But if someone speaks for them I can order them via Pickup and swing back this afternoon.)

    EDIT:
    Tracks is now available via Hasbro Toy Shop's still very much existing eBay store.

    There are 3 T-Wrecks at Chaska Target. Three Arcees too, but not much else besides a Magnus which I am sure you guys are burnt out on.

    Like 20 Origin Bees at Edina target. Cyberverse crash combiners, but that's all for new stuff.

    I think Roddy is still gonna be a bit. Looks like just a couple US sightings so far, and it seems like distribution is funky right now, not just for toys. For some reason the V8 drink I always buy has been out of stock everywhere for a couple of weeks.

    Worth checking I guess.

    Eagan GameStop has a trio of Huffer for $17 and a few X-Spanse for $40.

    Had almost forgotten about this until my pickup notification came through over lunch.

    Huzzah!

    (Be forewarned, there was giant f**k-off ORDER PICKUP sticker on the back, but thankfully mine peeled off without any trouble.)
