Target Black Series 6" Remnant Stormtrooper

[Jeff]

Yep, another Target exclusive (*ducks to avoid unhappy people throwing things in disgust*).

Pre-Order goes live later today. -> https://www.target.com/p/star-wars-the-black-series-remnant-stormtrooper/-/A-81869344

That is some serious weathering.  Apparently when you're a "remnant" they don't issue you any polishing cloths for your armor.

Sounds like this is another 3pm CT pre-order (4PM ET; 1PM PT). 

May the Force be with You as you mash that refresh button trying to get one! (or just move to Minnesota, land of many Target stores. )

I didn’t even bother, I’m sure they only lasted a few seconds. Long gone now.

Army builders should never be exclusives. Also, Target sucks. 

[Dave]

Thanks for the heads up Jeff.  I managed to score one.

Nicely done. These were at 3:00 central right? I loaded the page at 2:45 and it wasn't yet available.  Loaded at 3:02 and it said sold out.  Luckily Target stuff is easy to find in store later on. 

[Dave]

I followed Jeff's directions and mashed the reload key starting at 2:59.

Same. Might as well make it an eBay exclusive with the way Target exclusives haven’t been hitting lately.

I have the advantage of living in the Twin Cities where there's always a Target within 10 minutes of every other Target, so never really concerned about missing their pre-orders.  But I'm curious if people were able to track down their Mountain Troopers, DJ's, and Hondo's.  That's the first batch of red circle exclusives that I haven't seen readily available on the pegs within a few weeks of hitting stores.

[Nicklab]

The Target exclusive Black Series figures have definitely been a mixed bag.  Some have been easy to find, but others not so much.  In the past year I have never seen these hanging on a peg:
First Order Elite Snowtrooper
First Order Mountain Trooper
Hondo Ohnaka

I hope this Stormtrooper is more plentiful.

It has only been in the last year that my local Targets have really been slipping in terms of exclusives. Trash Compactor Luke was what, summer of 2019? That's the last one I remember seeing en masse, and immediately after Father's Day everything vanished. I forget if I saw the 3PO/Babu Frick set once or not at all. Never saw that gift set with the First Order Snowtrooper. I forget if it was 2018 or 2019, but never saw the Bespin Escape Leia in stores and only got that one due to a friend. Galaxy's Edge exclusives are hit and miss. I've been lucky enough to see everything but Hondo in person.

Hoping for a return to the "glory days" where Target exclusives would show up once, and then 1-2 months later, a second wave floods the stores.

Curious how folks made out with this release today.

All week every Target around here showed 8 in stock. In the interest of sleeping late, I ordered one late last night for In-Store pickup. (That was the limit) At the same time I expected I would see some today since they rarely seem to stock those things first thing in the morning anyway, just based on previous experience.

When I woke up at 8:30 though, all but one store close to me was completely sold out. 

I went to the one store still showing stock and there were none out, but they were able to pull one for me from the back. Then I went and picked up my other one I ordered last night, and was happy to come home with just the two. I kind of wanted more but trying to stick to 2x per figure now for army builders.

Glad I did not sleep any later, these will be cleaned out all over town by lunchtime, I am sure.

I had one of these in my cart on the Target app, but when I got to check-out it disappeared.  I'm hoping to find this one without having to search all over.

[JediJman]

I managed to get one for store pickup this afternoon after sleeping on them.  Did anyone just get one directly at the store?  Curious if they are limiting purchases in person or just online.  I know people can just  check out multiple times to get around it, but if they're finding them in person with no limit, getting 3 for the price of 2 is a pretty slick deal, especially at the lower $20 price point.

I was able to pick up two of these this past Sunday morning, but I also have two online orders - one has shipped, and the second is still pending. I would be happy to pass on any extras I get for cost + shipping. Let me know if you're interested, if I get no interest, I'll probably just return them to the store...
