Amazing what happens when you mention getting a manager involved. Congrats!

That's lucky. The store I went to last week only had one case of 3 but thankfully there were only 2 other people there for them so I got the last one at 8am.

I'm so glad I got one! It was a challenge...hit many stores but finally located one

Postby **fgnat** » Mon Apr 16, 2018 1:53 am

missed out online too, waiting for prices to drop

Postby **BerserkerBlack** » Mon Apr 16, 2018 4:41 am

I walked into my Target and sure enough he was out, he will drop in value so hopefully people aren't jumping on the flipper bus just yet.

Yup, same thing happened to me. I called ahead and they said they had two left so I rushed over. My heart sank when I saw one guy at the electronics desk waiting and just saw one Porg in site. I asked if that was the last one and he stated they have one more behind the counter. Phew, I got the last one so I just made in time. The up and downs of toy hunting is real!

I was hunting with a fellow boardmember and we rushed to 4 Targets before grabbing ours, since they couldn't hold it, we booked it. I drove about 45mins-1hr from where I live to make sure I got one. It paid off but it was nuts

I want to get five of these, put them around my front room by each of my surround speakers, and then get the porg call clip, and have it rotate between each speaker, like I'm living on Ahch-To without the rain and cold

Same, really hoping for online release because I want atleast 2 of these and that sounds hilarious, need a video if you actually do that!

I agree! Someone has to make a video of that!

That’s lucky. In my area half the time if I call to confirm they have something it’s already gone by the time I get there..

I was sorely tempted (especially after re-watching The Last Jedi this weekend!) but I keep waiting and watching the prices drop on eBay.

Can someone tell me their retail price? So I know my mark up

Either way, like Hulk I hope they restock for you and come online! The Porg is super cool.

I've never seen them not restock at least more than once. Just keep an eye on brickseek and it may show up again even in a couple of days. It can be that soon.

I've been doing so. Thanks

Np. Hope you get one soon. I have a feeling you will.

Postby **Lonikins** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 8:12 am

All these reports of the porg leaning forward and coming off of his base are making me nervous lol

I gotta check mine to make sure he's okay

Postby **Stitch626** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 10:58 am

I’m driving to Florida from Toronto and my plan was to go to multiple targets on the way there and back hoping to score a Porg and Thanos. The first target I walked into had 3 of each stacked on the electronics counter. I’m sooo happy to get that over with right away and now I have two travel companions in the car lol

great start to my road trip!!

Postby **jaseface** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 1:13 pm

Woot Woot!!! This massive bird is back in socal stores again. Yay!!! only took... Three long calls on hold, Two recalculated driving reroutes, and One awesome employee to get it.

FYI. If your interested... I bought the first one at 10am and they only had 6 in their shipment at La Habra Target in SoCAL.

Postby **Flyers179** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 1:26 pm

I got one! For some reason though my local Target is holding Thanos till the 22nd - even though every other Target around here put him out and sold out asap. It sucks because I'm traveling starting on the 21st and won't be able to get him :|

Thank you for the luck. In fact as of today (4/18/18), my local Target got three in. Was able to score the first of the three. Unfortunately, they all had a little box cut slice defect, but I'm happy to have gotten one. Wanted to get another to help out this group, but the guy told me, it was one per customer. I told him fair enough and thanked him very much.

Thank you for the luck too! $\:D/$ :bounce:

Is anyone else having a problem with their Porg leaning forward?

Postby **Childishtycoon** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 9:22 pm

Found mine at the electronics boat, no wait and it was hours after the store opened. They did have a line that morning but I was still lucky. Had no luck with Thanos in store though but snagged him online.

That's what I always tell people - make them pull it up on their PDA and show you the counts or tell them you're going to involve the TL, ETL, or STL (regular team lead, exec team lead, and store team lead) until they know you're telling the truth. No employee should want to risk their job over a toy unless they've been itching to get out lol

MINE DID THE SAME THING!
I smooshed it down a little bit and crammed it back into the box. Hopefully that keeps it supported.

Postby **MiniPop** » Thu Apr 19, 2018 10:07 pm

Oh no

I had no idea the porgs were having trouble like that, I hate to keep mine in the box because he looks nice on my desk. I'll have to keep an eye on mine.

Out of curiosity, is it the legs warping or the body seperating from the legs? I ask because I have a tweety bird the leans like this, but it's because the plastic on his legs is warped. (Am guessing it didn't cure the right way or something).

The legs were coming out from the body. Separating.
