At my Walmart, some of the Pops used to be in the front aisle next to the registers. When I asked employees who restocked those pops, they used to say someone would come to the store and organize/restocked. Could never figure out, if it really was one of store employees or some outside entity that would come in and stock them. I just thought they did not know too much about Pops and made up a person, because they could not answer my questions.

So, how about that 10” Porg?

I just hope the Porg is easy to find. The stores I've seen they don't even take them out. You have to ask. Referring to the Groot occasions.

The issue with the Groot was that only 1-2 stores in the area would get it each day. So the flippers could just go from store to store each day and clear them out. With Hulk most of the stores got it on the same day so there was more then the flippers could easily clear out.

I hope that is true. There is only one Target within 2 hrs of me. It's a bit of a challenge.

Any updates on the release date?

The Thanos release is giving me anxiety for Porg. Come on Target Online!

Even though the 10 inch looks super creepy, I must have him. I’m a sucker for 10 inch pops.

That's why I was thinking Funko needs to have regional product managers for their retail stores.

They would handle:

1. Product launches.
2. Stock level at their stores.
3. Display of pops.
4. Distribution handling.
5. Coordinate security. (If needed)

This could make for a much more smoother Funko retail experience. I know not all companies use that technique, but could help. Think Apple Representative at Best Buy!

I thought there were talks of this before? Ive seen Hasbro reps in stores before. They were super nice and asked a lot of questions of how they could make my experience better... if nothing else, makes you feel like they care.

I'll bet it was a collector that would come in to a huge mess and straighten things up... I do it all the time. I had a woman ask me when a new shipment was coming in, so I told her since I just happened to know... didnt have the heart to tell her I didnt work there. I realized later that I was wearing a Walmart blue shirt and I was organizing the shelf at the time... :-"

I'm in the same situation, hopefully this will be more along the lines of hulk and not the fiasco that was groot.

Hulk wasnt too bad. My sis in law grabbed me that one. Her store got like 30!!!!

Really wish this wasn't exclusive to Target lol

its so hard to find target exclusives

Postby **MiniPop** » Mon Apr 09, 2018 10:35 pm

I really want the giant porg but I haven't even had luck finding the big hulk or thanos at target. I don't have high hopes in finding this one either

With hulk it showed up a day apart at all of the locations in my area. But the problem with the hulk is that a lot of people got stuck with broken hammers. It's a good thing we were 1st in line that day.

The more and more I see pictures of this guy outside of his box, the more anxious I get. I hope he’ll be easy to get. The Thanos craze was a bit hectic and Hulk was fairly easy to find as weeks went by but we’ll see how many Porg fans there really are when they hit shelves.

Postby **swind15** » Tue Apr 10, 2018 12:39 am

The more pictures I’m seeing of this is making me want it even more.

Seeing a lot of porgs in one photo is what made me start liking them. They have grown on me with their ridiculous faces.

Just got one in Texas! Glad I got one.

Seeing it in stock at a store a little ways away. I will likely have to make the drive here soon or my wife will kill me.

Nice! The only store in the Austin area that is showing it is in stock is a bit too far. Really hoping to add this one to the collection.

hahaha, that is funnly. I would love to see that as a shared exclusive from a con. Either Chewbacca with a roasted Porg. Or like you said a chase BBQed Porg.

That's an odd number, I figure there would be 2 per box.
