Target needs to get their **** together. I mised out on the preorders.
- bitch #1 -- their roll out was off. Wrong time, etc.
- bitch #2 -- over the next few months i managed to find it available on Target.com and get it in my virtual cart twice. Both times it was sold out before I could pay for it. No ******* grace period. Poof. Anyone could grab it from your "cart" at anytime.
I found it on eBay today from a guy whom I bought from before. It looks like he buys decent quantities of clearanced merchandise from companies/distributors and resells them for much less than retail. At one time he had 47 or 48 of Kenner Colors Fett. I bought his last one... for less than Target's sale price!
- bitch #3 -- WTF? Assuming he got these stateside, how did he have them and for less than Target and Target is still shipping out?
I totally get Star Wars toys make only a small portion of Target's gross sales. But TVC is only an ounce of what I buy at Target. Groceries, socks, cleaning supplies, toys for kids, books, stationaries, home wares, kitchen supplies. Target is very convenient and I'm not threatening boycott. When purchasing products becomes unreliable, the store gets a reputation and people will look elsewhere.
