Title: Can you buy a full case of blind bags from Target.com?
Post by: Snapdragon on April 05, 2020, 09:36:28 PM
Question is in the title, really! Has anyone successfully bought a full case (one of each pony) of blind bag ponies from Target's online store? I'd love to hunt them down in person but ... well, for obvious reasons, I can't go to Target every few days to hunt for a fresh box!  :P

I would hope that if I put in 'quantity 24', they'd just send a full case of 24! But I don't know if that's how their warehouse works... so, has anyone successfully done it? Or more importantly, unsuccessfully done it? Did you order 24 bags and receive 5 Pinkie Pies? Spill the beans, pony people!

Maybe not too relevant, but I had a 6 month online pet store gig where I would ship off orders and gather items.

From my experience as the worker, I would say it'd be highly likely that a whole carton would be shipped to you. However there are two factors in not getting a full case (I'm suspecting you'd want the display box thingy) is that they might ship it off as cheap/convenient as they can, so they might pack the blind bags into a large envelope as flat as possible.

Or they might not ship a brand new container, so they might take the remaining blind bags off the shelf and then opening a carton and take out how much is left then pack it.

Just my perspective as a ex worker.

I've never ordered from them, but I think entertainment earth sells blind bag stuff by the box.

Hey, thank you for the perspective! I appreciate it a lot! :) I don't "need" the box so much, it's a nice bonus, I'm more worried about "here's your 24 ponies, including 12 dupes!" Tracking down individual blind bags is NOT a fun ride... :yikes:

That's very true! I assumed that Target would be cheaper, but I didn't even think of checking there. I'll go check them out next! (I need to check them out anyway, seeing as I'm missing like, 5 waves... :faint: )
