Darth Vader in Tie Fighter Pop! Deluxe

[racheva]

Just checked the Riverdale, NY store as they were listed as having 3, but no luck. They said someone had just been in looking, but they couldn't find them. Must have been one of you!

Dallas is completely cleaned out. Brickseek has been showing zeroes for a week or so now. I'm glad I snagged one, but man this is cray cray land. Target has GOT to start ordering more product when they sell these exclusives. Why order 4 per store when you could easily sell 20 or more? Am I confused or is Target not in business to actually sell things and make money? If I'm offered X profit or 5 times X profit, well I will take 5 times X every single time. Maybe retail works differently than it did when I worked in it years ago

Man, Tres, you clearly don't know how to run a multi billion dollar business!! How can you worry about revenue and profit when you're worried about negotiating the severance package you're going to get when you inevitably get shown the door?

And it's not just that. If I could walk into my local Target and pick up a pop and be calm about it, I might be in the mood to shop for a few other things. Which is the reason they have exclusives to start with- to get people in the door to buy other things. But considering I head into Target like I'm going into battle, I generally have no energy to buy anything else after. They're honestly losing money in more ways than one.

There's a large company we do work for that I swear has that exact attitude! My favorite was when they extended early retirement golden parachutes to their older employees so they could get all the "old school" people out so they could remake themselves with young, new, forward thinkers. Then they had to hire all the retirees back on a contract basis because nothing was getting done

Exactly! It should be a casual purchase, not a frenzied trip to several different stores. And like you said, once you get one you DO NOT want to shop, you want to head straight to the register and cash out before some employee swipes it and tells you it's too early to buy it or some crap. Seems like a squandered opportunity, and amazingly Target just keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over again.

Looks like they hit the New England area yesterday (at least my area of Mass). I just got back on a red eye flight, woke in the AM and checked brickseek and saw 4 listed. Ran down and went right to electronics and asked and was handed 1. An hour later they were gone. I do see some stores in a 20 mile radius still have some like Marlborough East lists 2.

I do find it crazy they make some exclusives so hard to acquire, like most Star Wars pops, but others are very easily obtainable like Codsworth or Belle. I thought they may have learned with QGJ. Hopefully the SDCC shared ones they will have will not follow suit.

I was able to score one at my local Target. That Pop is outstanding! Good job Funko!

I see you're in Renton as well.. the times I've called they've been out, at least I know they are showing up here finally!

The Washington area Targets got them last week. I used the DPCI number to locate the one I got at the Northgate Target last week.

I was wondering who got the remaining 2 I left in Renton

I know it's wishful thinking, but here's hoping they don't get any shared exclusives.

Then when there is one less shared exclusive you missed out on. You'll be saying Boy i wish they only shared that exclusive. Now i have to pay $100 for it on eBay (vs $25-$30 if it was shared and u still missed it).

I have no idea. I stopped looking at Brickseek for the Tie Fighter after I got mine.

Right, because GITD Qui Gon is $25-$30...

In all seriousness, if you're asking me if I'd rather have something shared at Target vs. not shared at all, that's an obvious choice. Of course I'd rather have it shared. However, if I had the choice between shared at Target vs. shared at Hot Topic or Gamestop, well, there's another obvious choice.

Just ordered it!

[Batcavehero24]

Got one online! Happy they made it available online

[thejosh2010]

Still no luck spotting this one in stores...sooner or later I will find it. Totally missed the online sale too

[rontonsoup]

I have yet to see this in the stores around me. Always sold out. I just want to see it in person

My online Target order arrived today. The shipping box was fine, but the Pop box has a little damage. There is also a healthy scratch on his helmet : ( At $27.99 + tax, these 2 strikes combined with this being perhaps my least favorite SW Pop! so far is making him a return for me.

[kohyuta]

A couple of Targets near me just got shipments in! A friend picked one up for himself and for me. Sounded like the stores only got 2-3 each.

[pennjones]

I was lucky enough to find this at my target today! There are still 2 left (at least there were an hour ago or so) in the Bayshore Gardens, Bradenton one, if anyone is close! I think they might be starting to get more shipments in, though, and that's why I found mine. This target normally doesn't have anything good.

Love this ride, waited a long time for SW pop rides
