I got my Rosie’s in mail today from Target. They package them well but sent me damaged ones. Luckily I found a good box at my local target today.

Yesterday, I saw that the closest Target to me had 6 in stock of each. I've never had much luck at this Target. Usually, I have to drive 45 mins away to another town to find any exclusives. I've been told by other local collectors that a guy who works at this Target usually buys them up and resells them online. However, I thought I would give it a chance.

We drove over there this afternoon and while there were designated sections for them with barcode, there weren't any on the shelf. We had to track someone down who saw in the system that there were supposed to be 3 out on the shelf and 3 in the back. She tracked down another employee, who I believe may be the reseller. He went to the back and brought out one of each (Rosie, Sam, Abe) and said he pulled the "best ones" out for us. However, the box for Lincoln was scratched. We asked him to get another one (he just happened to find a better looking one). And then he lied and said that there wasn't any space for a display. I also asked for another Rosie for a friend who can't make it to Target, and he told us they only allow 1 exclusive per household. Is this true? I'm used to shopping at other places, and I'm usually able to look through the pops myself.

Anyways, sorry for the long story. If you don't see them at your local Target, ask for an employee. I'm guessing they are hording them in the back.

Sometimes i believe they make up rules as they go. I understand one per person, but household? Hmmm, sounds fishy. Glad you found them tho! I haven't had any luck

It's just such a more relaxing experience. The 6am pacific time isn't the best for me, but ease in store is great!

I hate reading stories like this.... I think most Target stores got 13 of each exclusive.... 7 of each came in a display shipper with George Washington and Ben Franklin, so that's 35 pops in the display.... and then 3 extra cases of 6 figures of each exclusive.

I don't mind getting early to a store if it allowed me an easy time getting them.

These were very easy in store. Some stores around me still have all 3 exclusives on the shelves as of yesterday.

I feel like target is super inconsistent with their exclusive releases. I had some issues when I went to get their 10 inch mickey exclusive. It was annoying. I have pretty much given up on trying super hard for target exclusives. If I see one and I like it, I will get it, but I have decided I won't hunt for them for sure.

Don't forget their exclusives showing up in the discount store with a good amount of stock.

Did anyone notice a different Target sticker on Rosie the Riveter with no white border? I bought one in NY while on vacation, and when I got back to NC I noticed the sticker was different.
