Got super lucky and scored the Noid at Target tonight. Its extremely rare to see any exclusives make the floor at that particular Target, so I am very happy about finding the Noid! Just seen ad icons from Target pop up locally on the FB marketplace... The seller is a Target employees at my local target... Not that I collect these, just interesting. Dude used to work at Best Buy and openly said he gets discounts at Best Buy and would give people good deals on anything they need on his FB page. Same thing happened to me there with fire jack jack. Showed up on brickwork and targets website as in stock one night. Went the next day. Guy told me he only got 1 in and it sold 4 or 5 days ago. But it literally showed up in stock the night before after nothing had ever shown up before. Next day 4 show up on eBay from the same seller, checked the info, was shipping from within a half hour of me. You don't need me to tell whose picture was attached to that profile. I know target employees aren't flippers, and it doesn't happen, but it totally happened.

I have a question about Adventure Time pops. My son got the newest game for PS4 (Thanks to DanTDM). I didn't really know what it was, but when he started playing it, it was like a JRPG game. Granted, super short, but enjoyable. I loved RPG games growing up so it was super cool bonding time! Now that you have some back story, if any of you guys are collectors of the series, can I get the set of characters fairly reasonable? I don't care for the highly valued ones, but I just want to be sure I can get all the main characters in their original outfits fairly reasonable online or in the wild. Any help is appreciated! FYI, I still know very little about the series and all it's characters.

I know target employees aren't flippers, and it doesn't happen, but it totally happened. It is so disappointing to see. About a year ago, I was talking to a Target employee who told me that they got a case of the Shining Exclusive 2 pack in, but one of the employees (most likely the front end manager they said) hid the case in the back and took them all. In the box was apparently a chase too. It is so sad, but they just do what they want it seems.

My friend found the Target exclusive masked Asuka today. I consider that a minor miracle.

The Target I was at yesterday the cashier commented on my HoC 2 purchases asking if I was a collector and I said yes. She then went on to say that the other day there were people lined up outside at 6am for the POPs. She mentioned Captain Crunch, Twinkie the Kid and the Noid and one other. So I guess they were put out there. lol

"Put out" is a relative term.
The exclusives that make it to the floor are the ones with little to no buzz. 8bit Stranger Things, Bright, Sandlot 2-pack, Janet Van Dyne, some of the Star Wars exclusives, etc.
The others? You'll usually run into people lined up at opening to pick them up. IF the employees can "find" them. And I say "find" in the most sarcastic way possible.
I normally just write off any exclusives I want if I see that they're going to Target, Walgreens, or Walmart. Even ignoring the employees that buy these simply to flip, the stores are so numerous and so busy with other things that they give literally no hugs about toys.

I found the dig em/tony the tiger two back vinyl figs.
Not sure if they’re sought after, but I was looking for them and pumped to find them.
I never find any of the pops I actually want. If every area is like the one I used to live in, skeezebag flippers are greasing the employees to get first dibs. I’ve showed up at 6am, day of funk shipments and some how they weren’t there, but later on that day a few pop up locally on funko groups.

Couldn’t find the Hocus Pocus pops in person so I went ahead and ordered them from the spirit site instead

Got Jalen Ramsey and Leonard Fournette from FYE today. They had pretty much everyone from the new NFL wave. There were only a few I didn't see.
