I was able to get a common one. This lady camped out since 4 in the morning and was able to get the chase.

Yesterday, it was in stock in one of the target near our apartment but because i got work. I wasnt able to go.
I just saw in FB that one of the store owners who has a kiosk here in one of the malls bought all the boxes from that target.

It's just frustrating right now how this was released. I hope they'd just release this online

I thought I read somewhere they will restock it. I hope it is true!

I thought I read somewhere they will re-stalk it. I hope it is true!

the restock has already been hitting some stores, not looking for a common now just a chase. its worth the wait

Same here. Just hoping to get lucky with the chase now. I got the common also. I missed the chase by 4 hours because of a lady that camps out. I know she is going to camp out again to try to get another one "for a friend who is at work." :^o

That's quite a bit of time you missed the chase by, 4 hours...

I'm glad that I'm not trying to get these pops. Its ridiculous as to what extent some people are doing to get these pops. I've seen some people wait out at target at 5AM! That's a little too much for me lol

Guh - I give up - went to what felt like 100 targets today - nothing

These are too limited to just hit random stores and hope you get lucky.

You have to stalk the dpci # on BrickSeek, which usually means waking up at 6am to check which stores have gotten in stock, then go camp out at the store showing they have them as early as possible before they open.

Unless you live in a small town with few collectors & scalpers, that's the only method that'll work reliably.

Yup Target really is horrible with being able to get exculsives. Target in my area never has Funkos in their section it just sits an empty spot in the shelves. When I ask they always reply we did not get any in yet.

I heard there two waves coming well at least one more in the beginning of November the first was mod oct

Postby **Niteowl_1** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:29 am

I got lucky with these. Ended up finding a chase at my local target

Postby **mikechickenhead** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 11:10 am

Still waiting for AZ to get their FIRST shipment of them... was told the end of the month

Postby **Gonzo206** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 11:14 am

I'll have to keep checking my Targets to see if I can find the chase. Hopefully the restock doesn't happen during my vacation time :bounce:

Postby **riceand1** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 11:26 am

I hope these come out again, was not able to grab one. This time Ill probably going to have to camp out.

I haven't really been following this one, but I just saw someone try to sell one on fb for $375. Since this is the first 1/36 chase in a while, it's not as ridiculous if you consider the dollar signs these people are seeing.

Postby **keyese** » Tue Oct 24, 2017 2:31 pm

We camped half an hour early, which was still pretty painful for us night owls. But had we not camped out, we would have missed out since they only got 3 and people showed up right at 7am to get them.

Funko HQ is getting more thurday according to employees this morning.

Postby **JJLecaros** » Tue Oct 24, 2017 3:54 pm

yea, i'm just glad that i'm not into the whole horror theme (both pops and movies). Kudos for those who were able to get it!

I live here in Champaign, and have been told buy multiple managers at different stores here in town, that a lady from Indianapolis comes over here and buys up cases of these things. At what point does your return cover travel of a 6 hour trip, and fuel? lol

Twins hit some stores here in AZ finally, not all Targets yet but a few got them..

Postby **Mister Piggy Wiggy** » Thu Oct 26, 2017 12:52 pm

Still no twins. Now I wonder if my Targets ever got The Shining Pops?

I'd say you got VERY lucky!

Postby **Eman185** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:41 pm

Like almost everyone else, I'm still chasing the chase.

Postby **GoldenYellowPup** » Sun Oct 29, 2017 12:20 am

Any value to the rumor of a restock in the first week of November?

Postby **Anniedamonster** » Sun Oct 29, 2017 4:14 am

I have not ran into them. I heard they are very hard to find. A friend of mine missed it by a few minutes when he walk into Target, that’s what the employees said.

Pretty sure ALL have gotten them now.... but hopefully that restock comes... you need the chase VINCE! :eek:

My local Target employee that works in electronics department on Facebook is selling 2 regular twins and a Chase. That's a reason why I drive an extra 40 minutes to go to the other Target

Yeah I would report that. I'm fine with an employee taking one if they are collector but taking all three and flipping them is a major NO.

lowkey still checking brickseek everyday lmao

Postby **sromo006** » Mon Oct 30, 2017 10:02 am

Hope this loses popularity in a year and the prices start to flatten out. Its insane right now and unless I find one for retail, I cant justify getting one for the secondary market price.

My mom found a set today at target. Seems like these are a lot easier to find now. Although she did mention she saw someone walk by with two of them..

They're 3 to a store. By no means are they "easy" to find.

Get to Target. Five people ahead of me in line so I already know I'm boned, but I stick around for giggles anyway. We get into electronics. Guy knows what we're looking for and goes back to look, but can't find it anywhere. Brickseek says it's there, so we all sort of hang out for a bit. I finally say screw it and go to leave because there's zero chance of me getting it anyway. As I'm leaving, I notice a Funko Stranger Things box on a skid in clothing. I decide (for the first of two times) to do the right thing and go back to tell them. We all look through the skid, but don't see anything, and they all head toward the doors. I keep looking, though - and there it is. Funko Grady Twins. I have a moment of horrible internal conflict, as my wife really REALLY wants this...but in the end, I do the right thing once again and call out to them to let them know. They come back and the first three in line get the Gradys.

Devastated as this was probably my only shot at it, but I can sleep at night knowing I did the right thing since they were in line first.

The end.

Karma DOES pay off. I got mine today. $\:D/$

That's awesome! Although difficult, what you did was great.

I'm super happy you were able to get your hands on them!
