Target DPCIs! Got a lot in the other day! *Updated with set pics! Lyra & co~*

Thanks! When I go in on (hopefully) Monday, I'll check up on what's there and get back to you guys. Personally I'm hoping for Lyra, Trixie, Sunny & Cherry.

Omg thank you for the codes! My target had it all in the back:D I didng want to be a pain but just asked this nice guy when they were resetting and he offered to go get me one of each:D He said they're resetting this Sunday and they only had about 1 case of each thing. I got the castle, glimmer wings, fashion cadence and SA and the rainbow minis:D

[dxgirly]

None of these were out yet at my Target.... though they did finally put the mane 6 wedding singles... 3 weeks after I bought them for double what they're worth. I really need to stop being so impatient. I have just let the ponies come to me. Ommmmmmm.

I hate the waitinnng..

[StarlightGaze]

Eeee, they put out the pony toys today! I grabbed a FS set and the Cloudsdale minis. They also have the wedding singles, and a microphone you can connect to your MP3 player. I didn't see the castle but they probably are just waiting for more shelf space to put it out.

one target  I went to had all the new stuff out. they also had a mlp microphone that you connect to the ipod and sing kareoke or something. It plays the full MLP theme song and 1 or two others

One quick (probably stupid) question about DPCIs, are these strictly for USA Target? Or would they work for AUS Target? I'm guessing no, lol.

I'm also confused (a little off topic) because being a Target exclusive the FS set should only hit AUS Target if it does at all, but I've heard it will be a Big W exclusive. I wanna know where people are getting their info!

[Ren-Ren]

I didn't know Australia had Target stores It's probably just exclusive to Target in the US.

[Tulips]

It's really weird because the last FS set (with Luna and Celestia) was meant to be Target exclusive to USA only as well and yet it turned up in our Targets too, but this swap from Target to Big W for the new FS set? I hope it's true because Big W has better prices! lol

It depends what Hasbro and the retailer agree to as well as where the retailer decides to carry the line...there are different choices.

1) Worldwide exclusivity - this means the retailer has the exclusive right to sell the product only at their stores and the manufacturer/supplier can not sell that product into other markets and to other retailers [whether the original retailer trades in these other countries or not]. Sometimes this means a multinational retailer carries the product in all their stores across the globe and sometimes it means a retailer has taken the right to the product but wishes to stock it only in one or a few select countries. This looks, at the moment, to be what TRU are doing with the collectors lines - exclusive to TRU US only.

2) National exclusivity - this means a retailer has the exclusive right to the product in the markets where they actually compete. This allows the manufacturer/supplier to sell the same product to other retailers in markets where the original retailer does not trade. We have seen this with some of the Target Canterlot items which were out in Canterlot in the US and Aus but then have turned up in Tesco in the UK - these are not the same retailer but we do not have Target stores. It should be noted that national exclusivity can also cover cases where a retailer has the right to product exclusivity only in one particular country - so perhaps Target have the US exclusivity over an item  but they have not paid or requested for the exclusive right to that product in other countries. This happened in G3, where TRU had a US exclusive item but that item when released in other countries suddenly showed up in other retailers, even if TRU were trading in that country.

Personally if there has been a pattern of Target Aus getting the US lines and these items have been successful for Target in Aus then whether Target have maintained exclusivity for Australia or not I hope for you that they turn up In Target or elsewhere.

I am getting soooo frustrated with mynlocal Target! For the past 3 days I have been going in everyday because it says on their site they have them in stock, and whenever I call they confirm they have them. But whenever I go in perso. All I see are almost empty isles! And there is no one in the isles, I have to go walking foreeever to find someone. And then all they tell me is that they won't go in back to see if they have them, and to check next week. I think I'll go bang my head against the wall for a while now:P

[octocorn]

I'm going to try my target before work today and hope they did their reset last night! Our pony aisle was barren, so I really hope so!

[xdartfrogx]

We didn't have them out yet as of yesterday. I have work in 40 minutes, so I'll check the isle on my break. I heard they should be out today or tomorrow.
