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

I haven't been to my Targets in a few days, I hope they have new stuff out!!

I went to my Target yesterday, and they still had nothing on the shelves. (Just, like, one or two of the mane 6, a FS fluttershy, and a few trains). They did have the cards though. Had to awkwardly stand next to this odd guy having a mumbled rant to himself about the Magic cards to grab some though, lol. I tracked down a poor overwhelmed employee and had him check DCPI numbers for me. I'd checked online ahead of time and it said that store had everything, but he was only able to find the 3-packs of mini-figures in the system. So he kindly brought those out from the back for me. Yay Target employees Guess I'll have to check back later for the other stuff, but since my "local" Target is almost an hour away, it'll probably be a few weeks. Did snag white Celestia at TRU though. Wow she is so much prettier than the pink one!

I hit 3 Targets yesterday, but came away with only a few sets of plushies and one FS Cadance/SA. It seems I have competition in my area with getting stuff from the back now; one guy said he'd had several requests for them that day. And apparently it can take until the next day for the inventories to reflect what has sold that day, so that could be why the website said they were available when they weren't. I'm not sure if the guy who said that was pulling my leg, though, because at the place where I found my lone FS set the guy there was able to tell me that they had 2 somewhere in the store (I assume the 2nd one, as well as one mini set) was in someone else's cart because I could not find them.

Update: Okay, according to the website the only store within 20 miles of me that is sold out of the FS set is still the one where I bought 3 of them last week. Something fishy going on here... Might be time to go back and check those stores again.

So, are some targets just being super slow?  NONE of mine have these yet.  They are all very pony bare!!!

[Rhini]

Looks like it =/ Each store resets at its own discretion on its own time, so the time new stuff actually gets put out is gonna vary widely. Plus it depends on how much stuff they still have to clearance out. I've been to a few stores with completely empty shelves, but also a few where they still are fully stocked on Canterlot even though it's on clearance. Gonna try again tonight though. The only things I still need are the glimmer wings and the glitter set.

[Marigold]

It is driving me crazy!  I just want to look at one or two items, but ah! 

[teresat]

Our Target had the Plushies, Cadence and SA, and Wave 1 Blind Bags as part of the reset. There were empty spots on the shelves so hopefully they are not done with stocking the shelves!

My sicky self went to check some targets out yesterday and absolutely nothing, dropped in today really fast since my target is 2 minutes away and although they had multiple mane 6 singles, they only new thing was the Glimmer Wing packs.

Looks like this could take a little while

I'm just so excited to see all the new stuffs!

First went to the Target in Oaks, PA and they had a lot of holes in the aisle.  Was able to pick up a Rainbow Dash plush and the SA/Cadence pack.  Gave an employee the DCPI number and she said they were looking to reset last night but they hadn't received all of their shipments.  She very nicely checked the other stores in the area for me on the little RF gun they carry around.  Went to Malvern Target and they had them in the back.  The guy who got them for me was very thankful for the numbers and he was able to get me the other two blind bag three packs along with the crystal empire set which looks so much cooler in person!

Nothing new to report here, but I'm pretty sure we're setting it tomorrow. We got through the aisle right before it today. c:

If it's not set tomorrow, that's the first plano I'm grabbing. xD

Do they do new sets overnight at Target?

Nope, during the day!

[dxgirly]

I wasn't able to go out today, but I have to go by Gamestop tomorrow to pick up my preorder for Kingdom Hearts 3D LE, so I'll pop in Target afterwards and see if they happen to be set yet.

[xoVanille]

Yeah, we're a little behind because two of us were sick last week. 

[Cassie85]

Grrrr, I am sooooo annoyed with my local store. I have been going in everyday for almost a week. Since about Saturday hey say they have the new products in stock, but not out in the isles yet. So i keep asking if they'll check in back. They always tell me no. Well today I was at the customer service desk asking again that they go in back and check. The lady is on her walkie talking to the person in the toy section, and I clearly hear the lady say that I was bugging her about the ponies 5 minutes ago, and she doesn't "feel" like checking in back, and to just tell me their sold out. I don't think they knew I was within hearing, but tomorrow I'm talking to a manager.

[Calico_Star]

Wow, sorry your local Target people are being so rude and unhelpful, Cassie! That's terrible.

I was several hours from home today, so while I was out I stopped by a Target in the area. The shelves were barren, but I took my list of DCPI numbers to a lady who was working in the toy section. She punched the first couple numbers into her little price gun thingy and told me that they were probably all in the back, and offered to go check for me. She and another associate came out a few minutes later with an armload of pony goodness each! So, aside from the rest of the blind bags, I've managed to get everything I was looking for, although none of it was on the shelves. I have nothing but good things to say about the Target employees I've dealt with so far

So, something was labeled on the shelf that we didn't have in stock, "MLP Canterlot Princess Collection" for $35 approx. o.o I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS.
