So smooth !!


Yeah my family and I went to target a few days later for other things, and I was able to find donald duck. I wanted it, but not enough to go actively seek it out where I go to target just to get it. I am glad I got the last one at my target.

Ish? Things sell out quickly, and if you miss them online (assuming they dropped online!), you need to get to the stores early to line up. I made the mistake once of going to a target with multiple entrances, and of course they let the other entrance in first! Then I've had instances where they direct you immediately to electronics, but the items were at customer service, or vice versa. Or send you to electronics but electronics doesn't know you're coming or that anything is dropping that day and it's all in the back!

They've gotten much better in the last few years, but you just never know how it's going to go. Part of the fun of the hunt, I guess! \:D/


Oh yeah. I know that feeling. I was looking for the spider-man bullseye dog pop. And it wasn't in the usual funko place. It was in some random spot in the toy aisle. Got really lucky I found it because I was looking at board games

Same here. I think this will be a slow death. I barely hear anyone talk about it.

That is some seriously amazing luck finding him, congrats! I love that Spidey Bullseye, he's my favorite of the Bullseye pops (so far!). I had to do an order pickup for him, from a Target quite a way from me, and then made the mistake of going during a rainy day during all the holiday shopping. Worth it to get him, but boy did I regret going into the store at that time of year! Never did see any of him on shelves in any of my usual Targets, so I'm going to declare you the winner of TargetCon 2023! :cheers:

It’s been about the same for me, which is decent! Now if you’re comparing it to Walmart shipping, I’d say it’s superb. lol

It was good until this con actually. They sent me a box they forgot to tape shut, so it had a big sticker from USPS saying it arrived unsealed and was missing one of the Pops. Before this they were the best of all the big stores.
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

Anyone with a restocked Target during TargetCon is automatically the winner. Your prize - all the Funko pops you can purchase! :cheers:

Same here. I think this will be a slow death. I barely hear anyone talk about it.

It also seems like it's expanded to other stores now, which makes these drops less unique or infrequent
