She asked another employee and he asked if they were even out yet because he had never seen them either. The other stores had lots of Walking Dead and Harley Quins and Deadpool's but no one at those stores knew anything about Vision. Faded Vision is a lie.

If you send me one of those 16 unmasked Batman, I will send you a faded Vision. My Target had a fairly large collective of them:p

Still waiting in NorCal as well... Some of the Targets have abandoned the endcaps so I have no idea where to find them...

Bump to the topic, but similar situation. Target in Wilkes Barre PA had several Unmasked Batman and Harley Quins, along with MTG and other Pops no one really wants. No sign of ANY Avengers Ultron Pops, checked both toy and TCG/CCG sections.

Yea I've checked both Target's in Stockton and no faded Vision. No one has seen them yet last time I went. I'll try again this weekend, maybe.

I ran across 4 of these at a local Target while looking for something else. If anyone in the Dallas area is looking let me know, I will drive by and confirm they're still there and let you know what store it is (I can't remember which store I saw them in but it's a quick drive from here to verify).

I picked up a few to help people out from this thread. Pm'd a few people who said they were looking, have not heard back. This is why I keep telling myself to stop doing this. I have 2 going up in a contest (link posted above) which leaves me with 2 more. They are currently sitting around, waiting for a home.

My Target has 0 Pop Vinyl figures. I go there and check once a week to see if they've added a section for them, but nothing so far.

My nearest Target had 37 freakin Faded Visions yesterday.

Postby **jhorsley23** » Wed May 27, 2015 7:46 pm

I was out running from Target to Target all afternoon looking for the new Star Wars Black Series figures, so I decided to make a game out of counting all the Faded Vision POP!s I saw.

I checked 6 Targets . . . I stopped counting at 75. :-/

Where on earth do you live, the 5 target stores I've checked have never had one. I've even asked the stock associate at the stores I go to and they tell me that they have never had it.

Postby **FlashInfinite** » Wed May 27, 2015 8:37 pm

I just gave in and got one online for 15 shipped

Postby **Angology** » Wed May 27, 2015 8:55 pm

I have only found one Vision in the Austin,TX area, and the box was damaged (bought him anyway for OOB purposes). See a lot of Unmasked Batmans, but Vision still eludes me!

Postby **Tallus** » Wed May 27, 2015 9:18 pm

I emailed Target customer service. I gave this guy all kinds of info on Vision. He said it was "out of stock". I got mad at his ineptitude, so I just bought it online for $16. I'm probably going to send him an email telling him how he is bad at his job. Screw Target and their crap supply chain and customer service.

My friend knows every Target in the Atlanta metro area and goes to one almost every two days. It took him over a month to find me one. But he did

cause he's the best! Now he sits beside Iron Man (Daddy)

That's why no one else can find these, all the stock was put in your stores :smile_ears:

did they really not ship these to so cal. Im just trading for one tomorrow. hopefully trade goes well

So far Long bBach, Lakewood, Cerritos, Westminster, seal beach have NEVER seen them arrive. I have been hunting them constantly and have spoken to the toy clerks personally in the store at every location mentioned and none have seen or heard of it. As it is most of my area Targe'ts have zero to a dozen Pop! figures in the store maximum between them and they are always Magic the Gathering figs. The clerks can't find the faded vision figure sku online or when searching their Gemini's and I'm beginning to think this figure is a myth in So. Cal. Not even the secondary market vendors at Frank & Son collectible show have them and that is the LARGESTbibi-weekly toy collectible show in America.

So what gives? These should be in the stores by now. Age of Ultron is old news now in most theaters thanks to Mad Max, Tomorrowland, Poltergeist and soon to be released Insode Out all competing for the Summer movie bucks in June. This was a TERRIBLE case of marketing and product availability for an exclusive, but then again Target is notorious for blowing it with exclusives. Ever hunt skylanders there? Street date breaks, low stock, no stock, no idea, etc.

Hot topic is where it's at for exclusives, those kids know their stuff and most love the brand so they are into them s much as we are and often post updates as soon as figs arrive on their store location Instagram accounts. If faded vision was a Hot topic exclusive I would have had him by now. In fact right now my local area store is holding an Au Natural Minion and a mini Adipose ( also a Weeping Angel and a Cyberman IF they arrive before I come to pick up my naked Minion) for me just for asking them to on their Instagram acct. Now that is customer service!!!

Same with San Dimas, Laverne, Upland, and Montclair Targets. Beginning to think that So Cal was left out on this exclusive.

Postby **DISCIPLES** » Thu May 28, 2015 5:27 am

My friend found one unmasked batman at a Target here in So Cal. Just one! and that was like 3 weeks ago. Also the Target website has Faded Vision saying it is in stock in all the surrounding Targets but the Target employees have no idea what it is, so far as I understand it goes under the movie assortment pop and if your store has 0 of these than it has no chance for faded vision. However if a store does have movie asst. pop then there is a chance it could be the faded vision.

I would be happy with my Target if it even had at least 5 of those, along with the minis. That is a perfect selection for me.

I had a chance today to verify which store I saw them in- Skillman at NW Hwy Target (in Dallas). 11 on the shelves plus an unmasked Batman. I wasn't interested in any of these so they're all still there! I did run by Barnes & Noble and found Daryl on his chopper, that did leave with me along with a prison guard walker :-)

That looks like a really nice selection of Pops, none of the Pennsylvania Targets I've been too are even close.

I did find one vision at frank and sons, the box is damaged though and the highly priced vendor has him.

I did the same thing with the website, but it was always completely wrong. The stores I visited that had the "movie assortment" Avengers 2 pops in stock did not have ANY Avengers 2 pops. There was 90% Magic the Gathering and the rest was Walking Dead. One store had a couple of Harley Quinns and a Gamora, but that is it. Nothing on the Avengers 2 front and definitely no Faded Visions.

Called my local store and 4 are finally in stock. Will be leaving soon to go grab one.

Edit: There is only 3 left now @ the Manchester ct target.

Postby **G_rawrd** » Thu May 28, 2015 4:27 pm

For the Houston area, surrounding area. There is a target off of highway 99, katy area that has 16. Had a pic of it but I can't post it. It's the same target that I found 2 unmasked batman figures. For some reason it had a lot of magic figures too.

Indianapolis. Toy shopping is pretty easy here. Within about 20-30 minutes in any direction I have 7 Targets, 9 Walmarts, 3 TRUs, 2 Hot Topics, 5 B&Ns, and a Books-A-Million. There's a couple more Targets and A BUNCH more Walmarts too that I never check.
