In Minnesota, a few guys who work at Targets have confirmed that Target is/has recieving multiple shipments... a couple of stores that had sold through what they had in the back, got in 3-4 more cases in over the weekend.If your store runs out, there is definitely the possibility of a re-stock... not a guarantee, but definitely a possiblity.
Maybe the best way to approach the dpci trick is to say another store gave you the number and referred you to them because their computers showed these were still available here.
Seriously....You guys should stop complaining and just wait for Target to put them out. No need for the rise in blood pressure over some toys that Target won't let you have early. It's not like this is the next greatest toy that you'll never be able to find unless you pull the DPCI trick. There was plenty left last time and I'm sure it will be no different this time around. Patience...
