Last year I picked up all 3 Transformer Movie chases at Target (in one hit) over here in Darwin, Australia.......go figure !?

Stopped at yet another Target and still no chase pieces. I assume Target & Fye are the only stores in my state carrying Funko since the Comic Book stores have all folded up. I'm short on cash these days otherwise I'd bought chase from the Funatic Store.

I went to another Target Tuesday and still no chase piece. I'm thinking someone in the warehouse is grabbing them before they hit the stores. I don't know how many Pop pieces are in a master carton but after hitting 6 stores you would think you would find at least one. :rolleyes:

Went to Target the other day and they actually had some Pop. A few Star Wars and a couple Marvels. No chase. Didn't get any. They were on Pegs, and boy was she irritated.

You're picky. I collected back in 2011 (when these posts were made) and pops were hard to find ANYWHERE. Not only that, but the places that did carry them only had 10 at most at a time. Target might be iffy with exclusives, but they're increasing the amount of POPs they will carry at a time, and even though I'm a little numb to it now, looking back there has definitely been progress.

Maybe your Targets, but my Toyota dealership is more likely to have more Pops in stock than my Target. And I am not kidding.

Targets seemed to get a new layout assortment for mid October. They're stacked with commons, but always sad to see a couple spots missing, knowing those were the chases.

Not all Targets are advancing on their pop selection, but most are making an effort to up it. Sorry you haven't had any luck, though.

There's about 3 I regularly go to in Queens. I've heard a lot of locations are updating their Funko section, but the ones at these 3 are barren wastelands and I don't really see that changing. :/

I'm still shocked my Target updated their Funko assortment. They never got any of the exclusives within the past few years until now. And yes they supposedly had the twins and the chases too. Again, surprising.
Question is, when is a restock coming...

My local Target's pop section never looks updated. Always the same few pops and never any plushes. Lots of t-shirts and mugs tho.

My local Target used to have a boring Pop section. However, they are slowly improving and now they have at least 20 different pops on shelf, not that crazy number but not too bad either.
