I've been hearing they're doing restocks, so that's hopeful! The chase is still going for an insane amount @_@

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


Maybe not "easy" but more like you don't have to camp 4 hours to get one?

I was the first in line this morning, they wouldn't look for them. Just got back and the middle one is gone which makes me think chase.

Our store got a restock this morning, but it was only 3 regulars. I bought one, just because the girl helping me was so damn nice, and went totally out of her way to help me find them. That being said, it was 32 degrees with windchill, here in Champaign this morning, and I left the house without a coat. This whole "fat keeps you warm" thing, is not accurate. lol

Nice! I should check my local Targets. It's that desire to get that Pop that kept you warm! :cheers:

I was planning on making a Target trip today anyway. Maybe I'll somehow get lucky lol

And yeah, really glad there are restocks. Otherwise that would mean there would only be about 100-200 in existence which would be silly.

I'm going to pretend they just liked the box in the middle better. There was a very minor imperfection on the front and the last had visible damage.


On the plus side I was able to help two funatics get them :)

Of course now they think my state is easy, it really was luck!

Yeah, all of ours were commons also, but they also got restocked Destity 2 Crotas, so I was able to score a Chase and Reg, so I can complete my Destiny 2 set, so it wasn't all for not.

Went in Target to look for Joyce in the biohazard suit for a friend today. Was standing there a good five minutes before I realized the Grady Twins were chilling there on the shelf a foot away staring at me. No Joyce, but that same friend needed the twins too. So, score.

Whenever I'm at Target, I HAVE TO stop by the Pop! section (been keeping an eye out for the Twins and Joyce).

Yesterday was no different except this time I found THREE Grady Twins commons (literally never seen these in person). I snagged two (one for me and one for a friend) and left the third.

Super pumped. I'm hoping this luck continues and I'll be able to find Joyce or even, dare I dream, a Chase?

I love the restocks! omg I found one and I felt like I won the lottery with it...took 15 Targets from the start and all 6:00 AM line ups except for this last one. Oddly enough woke up late and got there at 7:30ish and no one was there thank goodness. Felt super lucky for sure :)

Went to Target as they showed a restock on brickseek. Nothing in the Funko section. Found a employee he was searching on his handheld. Then another employee stepped asked what I was looking for. She said we just got those in. Went to counter by TV she opened the lower cabinet and bam 6 stacked on top of each other! She put them out on the counter in a little pyramid. Sadly no chases but happy with the common.

Target employees flat out suck for hiding them. Thanks to a good employee fighting back the evil in red polos that she works with.

My brother works at GameStop in south fort worth in texas and they have an ongoing investigation for someone opening warehouse shipments.. Sadly his store hasn't seen a chase in over 6 months.... Someone is opening the cases and taking chases!!!

I ended up winning a Chase set in a raffle, which I hate doing, but I didn't want to pay $350 for it either. :/
