Thanks! I’m located in San Diego, which is populated by a lot of collectors and resellers. I had to get there a few hours before store opened.

I bet if you compared the amount of organic material in a POP versus an actual Twinkie, the POP would win in terms of volume of edible material.

On the bright side, I'm glad there is a non-GITD common, so I can add Twinkie the Kid in my collection some how.

That makes sense, thanks. I am assuming though that people could just add two and keep making orders. Target doesn't seem to cancel repeats last I've heard.
