    Are my emails just slow then? I got that email at 4:48pm and I got there before 4:49 and it already said sold out. This is pretty infuriating if this is how impossible online stock is going to be able to get a hold of.

    I just happened to be on my phone when the email came through for me at 4:47 EST. I checked out and the timestamp was 4:48 on the confirmation email. When I checked the link to post here it was sold out.

    I don't know whats more of a nuisance.....the alerts that aren't in stock but mere seconds or having to click the notify me button again every time it sends me on the wild goose hunt.

    I don’t see why they won’t let people pre-order...

    I cant remember his user name offhand. I'll go through the Indiana sightings thread and find some of his posts later.

    He was a member of our local FB collectors group but he started threatening physical violence towards other members over fucking toys so we bounced him. Dude doesn't have a job, spends his government assistance checks on shit to flip on ebay.

    So, talking with my local target, it doesn't seem like anyone in my area got the thundercracker and skywarp set. Apparently the street date was supposed to be on the 21st, but they never got a shipment, and apparently don't have any coming in or know when it's coming in?

    Street dates for toys are not release dates like for movies or video games. It's just the date they're supposed to start putting it on the shelf instead of leaving it in the storeroom - it doesn't mean that they'll necessarily have it in stock by that date. It's also typical for employees not to know exactly what product is coming and when.

    Some Targets might not get it, but if you have multiple nearby, one of them most likely will eventually. None of the ones near me have it yet.

    Some states got them in, but only half of the state. (I wish I was joking.) Here in Ohio, Cincinnatti, Dayton, Toledo, Sandusky, Cleveland metro (which is basically western Ohio with a few skip spots) all got some. Eastern, mid, and southern got nothing. Still haven't. Not Columbus (the state capital), or the Youngstown metro. I haven't seen that before... They'll get 'em, at some point, but...weird nonetheless.

    There's no way the employee will know what toy you're talking about. If you don't have the DCPI or UPC, there won't be any way for them to check or know where the item is. If you don't see the item on the shelf and there is a quantity of a few on Brickseek or Popfindr, it's most likely in a box somewhere in the back.

    The Targets around me had a few and I watched the quantity go down by 1 or 2 during the day. After a few days, there's only 1 left in the area and my guess is that no one will know where it actually is.

    "This item isn't eligible for shipping."

    I know this is just an error message. But it is still one of the most infuriating messages in all of e-commerce.

    Seeker pack isn't showing out of stock, it's giving that error message instead. As in, the same page we're all watching.
