2025 Kenner Retro Collection ANH Wave

[Rob]

For the first time since this whole mess started Target sent me an email alert for this being back in stock.

That email arrived at 7:21 am this morning.  I woke up at 9:30 and it’s gone again.

[Brian]

I got that alert this morning as well through the Target app, instantly tapped on it and it took me to the page, hit “buy now” and by the time I had hit place order it was gone. Probably a total of 15 seconds.

[Rob]

This is truly shaping up to be one of the dumbest ordeals in all my years of collecting.

Did you see Jayson's picture of 50% off clearance labels for these now? Ugh. Though if they end up with a lot of late stock it could be good news.

[Rob]

I did.  It’s almost hilarious.  I’m going to just hold out… I can always spend an arm and a leg later.

I did.  It’s almost hilarious.  I’m going to just hold out… I can always spend an arm and a leg later.

And then the following week, the rest of us will get it for a deal.

[Rob]

I should just start having you guys all chip in five bucks for my overpaying that way we all win.

At the rate we’re going I’m half expecting these to make it to Ross for $20.

That could ruin the mojo.

[Rob]

It’s a risk I’m willing to take, I get nothing out of this arrangement.

[Matt_Fury]

You get the warm feeling of helping out the rest of the collecting community.

Is that not enough??

[Dave]

This has been popping in and out of stock this morning (at least in the Minneapolis area).  After a few times getting it in to my cart and losing it, I finally managed to snag one (at full price) for delivery tomorrow. 

Hopefully those still looking for one get lucky too with more stock arriving in stores.

[Rob]

I managed to get one in my cart just now for the first time.  I wasn’t able to check out though. 

So…. progress?

[McMetal]

Are you guys using the App? Are you find them under Pickup, Delivery, or Shipping?

I have still yet to ever see this thing come into stock.

[Rob]

I’m using the app.  It’s got shipping highlighted but I didn’t even really look.  As soon as I saw green I clicked add to cart and then tried to use Apple Pay to check out for speed.  Didn’t work though.

[Dave]

In the app mine were showing both local pickup and delivery pop in and out.  It took about five different "add to cart and fail" events before I landed one today.

Refreshing in the app didn't seem to work well, so I would back out to the search screen and refresh before going back in to the product screen.  That seemed to update availability better.

Good luck!
