Yes, this drop went surprisingly well. I went to the store and it was decently stocked. Boxes were in ok condition.

Picking mine up tomorrow in store, slept in too late this morning! Much easier to wake up at 6am on a workday than a weekend! lol

Can't wait to see the sparkle on that Spidey!

No, it was the Target exclusive glow version of the 6" deluxe Aang bending all of the elements. I have the common but I wanted the glow version and did a full press hunt for it and nothing. Never restocked online after the first drop as far as I know, either.

Oh, this whole time I thought you had to get that one in a T-Shirt bundle.

If I ever see a restock ill definitely grab one too

I'm kinda surprised that there wasn't a Bullseye pop that came with the Target Con. As much as I love to get a new variant, Target's ad icon is so hard to get lol

So grateful to own the new No Way Home pops and the comic book cover! Looking forward to completing the set! $\:D/$

Such a good sparkle! Honestly, maybe the best sparkle I've added to the collection in awhile, and that's with sparkly Maleficent also being a recent addition! Definitely worth the drive to the (not near me!) Target to pick him up. Now my only disappointment with this TargetCon was the lack of Funko pint glasses to add to the collection! lol

He does! This was not a pop that I thought would need to be diamond-ized, but I'm so happy they did it. I'm such a sucker for a good sparkly pop! $\:D/$

Actually, now that you mention it.....this was a pretty heavy Spidey TargetCon. Maybe the Bullseye with Spidey t-shirt was supposed to be part of this at one point, and got shifted?

Oh! Maybe, yeah! My friend and I noticed how we both got all Spidey pops haha lol

That would totally make sense if the Bullseye was a part of this drop, but it would be so much harder to get one because... yeah, it'd be the Spidey con lol

Demon slayer one is going to be one of the first to go guaranteed!!!!

True, and he already wasn't all that easy for me to get! If that's the case, I'm really glad he got split out or I might have STRUCK out! lol

I was keeping him with my other Bullseye pops, but maybe I need to shift him over to the Spider-Man area? Gotta keep him where he best belongs!

Haha right?! He would be a lot tougher to get if he was with the other Spideys! I'd probably cry in front of the Target Con shelf haha lol

I think we need a one to rock (with the Spideys) and one to stock with the Bullseye pops haha It's the only way! lol

Crying in the Funko section at a Target store? Sounds about right!

Rock and stock is definitely the way to go with these releases lately. So many shipping delays for online orders, but in the meantime they sell out in store while I keep approving delays. Better to have 2 in hand than none shipping out! lol

I am pretty surprised that Target included no packing materials in my online order. Usually they over deliver when they ship. Thankfully both of my items came in good condition

Honestly it’s been a hit or miss for me. Sometimes they do and sometimes there’s no protection. lol

but glad your items arrived safely…

Same happened to me, and there was actually a USPS sticker saying the box arrived to them opened. Of course the Pops were damaged. Usually Target packs a little too well and I am swimming in bubble wrap, but not this time.

That is weird - the last few Target purchases I made came wrapped in that weird woven paper stuff? Did a great job of protecting the pops though, and seems like it's good to recycle, so I approve. Glad your items were in good shape though, nothing more frustrating than getting something delivered that has since sold out, and your delivery is damaged! Congrats on the win this round! :cheers:

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! $\:D/$

Who is online
