ALRIGHT, RANT TIME. JUST NEED TO RAGE FOR A SECOND.Today I went to Target, there are two on the same road so I went to the farther away one first.I brought the DCPI for Howleen and Clawdeen and asked for assistance. A woman came by and rudely raised her voice at me exclaiming that they do NOT sell things from the back and she will not check for me. I'd have to come back next week.We went to the next Target where an older gentleman who was really nice checked fthe DCPI or me on their computer. He said "Oh! I know who these are, the werewolf girls. These were on the shelf this morning, but they appear to not be in stock in the back anymore. I'll go check the shelf for you they should be right here. If not, bring this DCPI number to the front desk and they can check the other Target's (the one I was at earlier) stock and see if they have one they can hold for you."None left on the shelf so the woman at the front desk looked on their computers. "Yes, they appear to have 4 in their back room right now. I don't understand why they would refuse to hold one for you, it's not a big deal and they are priced and in their system. I'll call over for you."She calls over to the other Target and gets on the phone with someone at their guest services, somehow gets them to get one out of the back room, hold it for me and tells me to drive back over. I'm super excited at this point and the woman at the desk is still confused as to why the other woman did not even check for me to see if they had any and why they wouldn't sell from the back when they're not an unpriced new product.We drive back over, walk to guest services and the woman asks "You're here for some dolls? Ok let me call the toy section manager. I don't see them here."Apparently they had actually taken them out of the back room and PUT THEM BACK IN. The toy section manager, who was apparently the same woman who borderline yelled at me, came back out to talk to me. At this point, my partner who rarely gets angry is beyond furious at her. We had been driving around like idiots for a toy they DO have and refuse to sell to us even though they confirmed that they were holding one for me. Then she has the nerve to LIE to us saying that "We don't sell things out of the back room, I already told both of you this. It's against Target policy and they're not even priced yet. We DO NOT SELL THINGS OUT OF THE BACK ROOM, I AM SORRY."The man at the other Target CONFIRMED to us their price and that the one at the Target with the angry lady were priced.We ended up leaving after talking to her, called a Target 30 minutes away (we were already 40 minutes from home, orz.) and asked if they had them in stock. He said the store had two and they would hold them for us no problem. Walk in, they're on the Electronics section counter, we paid and walked out. Absolutely no problem, the man said they don't have any policies against selling items if they're not on the shelf and if they are in stock and in the system.I am never going to that Target again~ :'D

JUST NEED TO RAGE FOR A SECOND.Today I went to Target, there are two on the same road so I went to the farther away one first....Oooh... did you go to the one at the RI Mall first? They've given me trouble there in the past and won't get stuff that's definitely in the back. The older one, across from Chili's, is where I got mine the other night, and when the guy who was helping me was talking to the backroom, he said "I'm coming back, I need at least a case of the werewolves to put out here for them." I wonder if it was the same guy?I went to the one that's connected to the Warwick mall first... At least now I know you've gotten trouble from them too. The one across Chilis/Petsmart was the one that tried to call the other one for me and had the nice people that were totally confused as to why they wouldn't sell me them.I had to drive to Lincoln to get the sisters. ;A;

Anybody know if that's true? (See completist self-proclamation above LOL!) I was wondering if maybe it was a promo or custom or something...heaven help me if its actually real! Ooh intriguing! Could it be a different factory/batch thing?My Robecca's penguin has a black backpack. What does it usually have?Mine also has black, I'm curious to see if anyone has gotten a gold one...

our penguin has a gold backpack.
My penguin's backback is the same color as his/her body. The only painted parts are the eyes and the beak. Oversights or more laziness on Mattel's part? Hmmm.... visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I still wonder which one is the more common of the two. I'll check in the morning, but I'm not sure if the backpack is painted or the plastic itself is actually black. Curiouser and curiouser...

Anyone else that have thought about that Cleo doesn't seem to be in any of the announced 2013 releases?The only one where no dolls have been announced is the "Swim Assortment" , And I feel bad for Cleo if she only end up in a swimming outfit with all of these awesome new lines
