As of March 5th, there are 1304 Target stores...
1304 Stores * 36 figures/store = 46,944 Lava Vaders (at least)
That jives with the reports that say that right on the Vader figure it says "1 of 50,000".
I guess I am not surprised that out of 1300 stores, 1 or 2 or even 10 can't follow directions.
Even if 50 stores screw up and put them out early, that still means that 96% of the stores are following the rules...
