Yeah, hard to know their intentions unless they’re aggressive about it. Sometimes they really are just oblivious so you just move on with your day.


Yea, I will try another location after work later or before work tomorrow. I'm not giving up hope yet lol.


Good luck! I hope you find one.

Hmmm, interesting. Never had that issue before so thought they'd have to be scanned actually at the store for it to show up as in stock.


Checked three stores today. First one had unloaded the truck, but "too many pallets" were in the way, and they wouldn't get one out of the back.

Second store, the resident employee flipper said they never received them. Yeah right.

Third store, the employee checked his scanner, and actually showed me they had zero on hand but some were on the way due on the next truck.

All three showed in stock on Brickseek. So I think in this case, once it's left the warehouse, it's part of the store stock, even if it's not there yet.

I went back to the first store this evening, and two really helpful employees got me one from the back. They wouldn't put the stock on the floor; said it was due to set on the fifteenth. But they sold me and one other customer one each.


Congrats! One of the employees must have been a higher up if he could bypass the system street date.


A set date and a street date are two different things. A set date simply means that's the scheduled day to redo the end of an aisle display or a section of an aisle. They literally "set" that section up. So they aren't breaking any date when they sell before a set date. Just means they'll have less product they have to fit on the shelf when that date arrives.

A street date is a hard date which is not supposed to be broken. That's when the manufacturer can fine them for breaking that date.

Was super excited when I got mine in hand. Even better than I expected - and I had pretty high expectations since Porgs are my favorite!

Sorry to hear that. Pretty much all of the stores sold out this morning. I saw someone post they got 16 thanks on IG. what makes it hard is when stores don't limit it per person


16.... geez. Well there goes that. If anything I'll pick this up on evil bay. Hopefully not too marked up. Saves me the trip and time.

Brickseek show some in stock went to Target. I was looking for it employee asked if I needed help. Gave me the dpci but didn't bother looking it up I said it was the 10" porg. Gave a odd smile and said didn't have. Check brickseek today and not in stock. Same story as always. Already giving up on this one.

I finally got a hold of one of these for my wife... went to 5 targets and finally got one today. I waited outside of a Target store for over an hour, was the first person there, about 15 minutes before they opened 2 other people showed up. They tried to run in before me but didn't beat me. I was happy to be able to get one, but it hurt when the girl looked to her friend and said "eBay right??" and he said "obviously, now lets get to the other target." Being pretty new to the game I hate seeing this first hand. My wife has been collecting for years and loves it, but it makes me sad to see these are being hunted for a profit and real collectors are not getting them.

That is one thing that brought the whole experience down, and this is just for me I know most others will feel different, but it was so stressful to the point of not being fun. The whole "hunt" was too much and I hate that that is what it takes now days, i am so happy I was successful when it comes to targets I verrrry rarely am, but once I had my hands on one my nerves were so shot from the feeling of "oh god gotta get there" I wasn't happy just relived. Once I got back to the car and opened him and then got tea and went home I was ecstatic.

Does anyone know when they first hit the stores. I went to Target and an employee said they put them out on Saturday, 4/7/18. Seemed kind of early for me. We'll I live in a small town so I'm still on the lookout for it.

They're probably thinking of Thanos, the other "big pop" as the employees here refer to it as. Porgy McPorgface only started hitting, not more than 2 days ago.

I first thought he was talking about Thanos too, but they employee knew and could describe other pops, which he did. He mentioned how a friend of his called him and asked if they were still at the store. So who knows. Maybe your right. It just seemed too early of a date.

Thanks for the response.
