My Target appears to have gotten rid of the pony section! Was there this afternoon, and the toy department has been all shuffled around, but no ponies in sight. Asked an employee who said he was new, but he checked with his little scanner thingy. I didn't really understand what he said about whether or not they had any stock in the back, but I mentioned that things had been clearenced. He told me that everything had been sold, then, and to check clearence for whatever might be left. Nothing.
I hope that the ponies will return once the toy department settles down, but I don't even see empty pegs where they'd go.
