Should I rely on brickseek. Anyone have any luck with it?

Especially with target employees taking the chases before the doors even open!

they always say that honestly. You have to stick around and they will eventually find it usually like 10 minutes or less.

I think some of us have been using stockbyme lately but honestly it doesn't seem correct either. LOL

Someone told me it was 3 per store??? Time to put my Predator mask on and go on stealth mode cause it’s epic hunt time. Hahaha come along and ride on this fantastic voyage.... ok I had to much iced tea this morning I’ll admit it.

There was a tag for the twins, but they did not get them yet. They said 11/6 is the release date.

That seems to tie in with the "11/4" date I was told by someone who looked up the DPCI at my local store. Now if Target could just stick to 11/6 as the date so that I can wake up super early and try for it.

I wish. But I dont trust it considering they are already on ebay. I will be checking brickseek regularly.

Geez, it's 11/6 now? Seems like they keep pushing that release date back.

I'm in Socal. Someone I know got it today. I think only 1 local store got it so far. Hopefully mine gets it pretty soon! I don't wanna wait too long!

Do you mind saying what part of socal specifically?

I see some people are starting to find these.

Postby **daOCHO** » Mon Oct 16, 2017 8:37 pm

Several stores in my area had stock. But were gone within the first hour of opening.

I live in the bay area. Any part of California is technically difficult to get POPs that have this hype surrounding it. ](*,)

Being released on the West Coast already? Thanks for the heads up!

Postby **sushiguru** » Tue Oct 17, 2017 2:42 am

most SoCal locations received shipment today...

Postby **bspears82** » Tue Oct 17, 2017 10:26 am

Does anyone know if these have hit the east coast yet?

Postby **lavery01** » Tue Oct 17, 2017 10:50 am

So I'm in Southern Cali, and I have been anxiously waiting for the Grady twins to be released. (Just like everyone else, lol

) so when I did a brick seek search, and saw that it was in my area I high tailed it right to Target.

First one here, the Manager noticed me waiting outside, she took the time to come out and ask what I was waiting for. I told her The Grady Twins Funko Pop. She checked her inventory saw that they only received 3, came out and gave me a piece of paper with the number 1 on it.

Now, that's how it should be at every Target.
Just thought I share. Still have about 12mins before the store opens.

That's awesome, I hope you get a chase! Good on your Target for doing things in an orderly and fair fashion (hopefully when you get up there it's all good). Keep us posted, we all need a bit of hope with this set lol

So update. All commons and no chase. I'm still very happy though. I didn't even think I would be able to get a common.

Congrats! It seems like even the common might be hard to come by, so I would consider that a win

Man...I live in the Bay area and have been stalking brickseek. I didn't even see it go in stock....has always been out of stock for me.

Thank You!! It seems as if the Targets in my area are only getting 3.

Depends on where you're from and when you'll get back. I think it's been pretty limited yesterday and today to California (from what I've heard here and on other groups). So maybe if you're back later this week it will hit just in time for you

They are showing up in stores in Cali and New Mexico, but our store still hasn't seen them yet.

Postby **valorandvellum** » Tue Oct 17, 2017 3:45 pm

I used the stockbyme site and it shows "3 on hand" but doesn't show anything as saleable. I tried calling this morning and they couldn't find anything. I guess I'll just keep an eye on thing and wait for the saleable number to hopefully come up.

As far as I know, my store hasn't gotten Crota in yet either.

Oh, and I'm in the Central Coast of California.

That makes sense, they may have a case, they come 3 in a case.

I'll be checking locally for the next few days. I am hoping for a bit better luck than I had last week with Crota.

Ive seen people getting them in socal, but havent seen anything for phx..
but either eay, the target employees are already locking in the chases... man, there should be some rule against that ish....

Postby **2017fanatic** » Tue Oct 17, 2017 11:01 pm

What's everyone strategy? Out where I am, people line up early and thankfully us collectors respect eachother to be civilized and know who's rightfully first, but every now and then you get that person who b lines it quick to electronics and tries to bully and be the "first" one there.

If you're by yourself, do you also check the display first, go to an associate, or go to customer service?

Gone are the days where we can just walk in unfortunately, especially now that we have to battle employees too who can have, or more so hide, first dibs

Who is online
