Anyone else's Target like this?

[Moss]

Posted in another thread- but I thought I'd ask in a new one for better response!

I checked out my local Target today for the new CE stuff, only to find that the entire toy section had been shuffled around. Lo and behold, the ponies have dissapeared! No empty pegs, shelf space, or price stickers for them, either. I asked an employee, who was new and confused, who gave me a confusing, "There should be stuff somewhere" response. I mentioned that the last time I was in, they had been clearencing the pony stuff, and I thought it had been to make room for the new wave of toys. He pointed me to the clearance aisle and walked away.

So what gives? I'm kinda panicking that my Target has discontinued the ponies, which seems unlikely. I've gotta go back tomorrow to pick up my roll of film, so I'll see if anything was unpacked in the meantime, or if a more knowledgable employee can give me any leads. I just wondered if anyone else had experienced this!

One Target around here did the exact same thing.  It was the first to start the reset, so I was *constantly* checking it for ponies, and it ended up being the last of at least 10 Targets in the area to actually put out the ponies.  However, eventually they popped up again.  There were no ponies and no tags for ponies anywhere for a good two weeks.  However, the Target that did this is now fully stocked with ponies again.

My Walmart did that and finally and employee just told me "we don't have ponies anymore." I haven't checked back, so maybe they just didn't have any new pony toys in at that time.

This frightens me.

Our Target rearranged a bit. But instead of ponies it was LPS. The LPS moved and the ones that didn't fit were on an end cap away from the new pet section.

That's really weird! All the Target stores in my area have the new stuff in, and a pretty significant amount of shelf space. I hope they're not really getting rid of the ponies for good!

They most likely flexed out other toys to fill the space until they set/get the toys in. I wouldn't worry too much about it, it could be that they don't have the product/enough product or they're behind and flexed stuff out until they can set it.

Walmart is shuffling everything.  Target had a bunch of the new stuff last week, now needs restocking.  Checking TRU tomorrow.

I hope not! It would seem odd to completely shift out a toy line that sells as well as it seems to.

Thankfully the three Targets in west Madison all have ponies, and I'm gradually learning which ones stock new toys the soonest.

My Target did something similar, they moved the whole toy section about 50 feet to the left of where it was! It was to make room for their new electronics section. Chances are if ponies are gone they will be back when your Target is done shuffling around. They're always in the aisle with the Loop De La (or whatever that doll is called...) stuff.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I checked Target's website for the royal couple FS pack, and the mysterious Target has it as out of stock while the others in a 10 mile radius have them as available. Considering the fact that mystery Target never had them on the shelves, I guess they never got them in. Come to think of it, when I asked an employee to check the codes for the BB 3 pack a few weeks ago when others had been getting them, they weren't in the system. Guess my Target is either late or done with ponies.

They probably are just slacking on completing the reset. The ponies moved over an isle here, so they are on the isle past the one that has lps. I'd just give it some more time. Theres no way a target would stop carrying mlp, as target has their own exclusives. They'd loose money if they did!

I imagine they'll be up in a little while I don't think they understand us frantic collectors want them NOW though

I went to Target today and the brushables were so picked over! They had new stuff, but the only brushables left were the main six wedding ones and some Glimmer Wings. I so wanted Lyra, Trixie, and the others I did manage to get the rainbow set with Emerald Rays though. I really want to get Shining Armor and Cadance, but I don't want to pay $35 for the castle. Wish they sold them separately!

Still nothing today. According to Target's site, pretty much every pony product is out of stock there, but in stock at the other local Targets. The mystery continues...

Im on Long Island with multiple targets nearby and a bunch have had pony items on sale , I haven't seen too many of the new released at them either.
