Today I went to stores around my area after checking brick seek and noticed not one of my targets put the figures out. That being said I already have 2 Tye's , Seth and Austin Aries.
Here is what has worked at all my local targets.
I either go their in person or call.
I ask if I have a DCPI could they tell me if they have something (even thought I already know)
They check their little device and say sure which one are you looking for?
I say the name and get the figure.
They are not Street dated at all. This was confirmed by 3 different stores. They just don't have a place on the sales floor until the store redoes their displays.
As usual people get bad info and spread it like wild fire. This method worked for me and another user on here.
You want the figures? Stick to the script it works. I've been cherry picking since last week.

I think most targets Just don't like putting things out. Not big fans of making money

I walked into the store and gave them the DPCI # 087-06-8819 for the Elites and the dept leader pulled the case from the stockroom. Then the next time I went I decided I wanted a couple of the basics so I gave them the basic # 087-06-8814 and they pulled the two I wanted. Then the last time I went to Target I just picked the Balor with ring off their WWE Endcap display. All three experiences were very simple. Not sure why we needed another thread about how to find these though?   |

Finally had some success today! Yesterday was absolutely brutal. Seems lots of employees are confused about SET date being different from a STREET date. Good luck everyone and keep trying and asking.

The employee you ask also makes a huge difference. My wife went for me while I was at work and got an employee who said they didn't have any (despite brickseek saying different). I went to the same Target when I got off and asked a different employee who went to the back and pulled Aires and Rollins for me.

Some employees don't have a damn clue or just don't want to work for the $8.00 an hour they get paid.

I work at Target. 2-3x a day the backroom gets an update on their PDA telling them what to pull to go out onto the floor. If the system doesn't tell us to pull it, it stays in the back. I have no idea why it chooses what it does. Decent toys almost never make the list, at least when I'm there. I have no idea how this stuff gets out. I think the overnight crew pulls it for the morning crew to stock. If there's no room for it, it never makes it to the list. If the system thinks there's no room for it, it never makes the cut. 9 times out of 10, the computer thinks the pegs are full because the floor team  s up inventory (lot of new people who make mistakes that never get fixed and pile up). So you can see pegs with iplenty of space, but our computer thinks it's full so we got crap sitting in the back for ages or an automatic reorder is never triggered. I've had Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures sitting in the back for 2 months now. Stuff that would sell, too. Almost 1 month since I found NXT in the back. Still there. At least that's what I figure is how it works. I could be off. |

I went to Target the other day and asked them to look in the back for me and they pull out series 45 from the back and all they've had on the shelf for months is a couple of Hall of Fame Sting's so I asked why haven't these been put out... we're waiting for the others to sell..I'm like well now these aren't going to sell... they're just going to rot on the Shelf because they've been out forever if you had put these out when they got here three months ago they would have been purchased already and then you could reorder more there's a Target by me that hasn't had battlepacks for five months their basic set is just the mutants and there Elites are just a few Hall of fame's and now series 45

Like you said, I've seen the same figures sit for months, but when they put out HOF4 they moved super fast. |

I am honestly surprised you guys have had this much trouble. It's been easy for me and another member of this board. I live in upstate NY and I did this with Colonie, Saratoga, Troy and Clifton Park.

I mean don't get me wrong I just took the dpci number up front to my nearest Target and ask them to check where to go and was able to drive to two or three targets rather quickly and get them but I kind of looked for them naturally since they were coming out and none of my targets we'll put them out... I had to ask for them all to be brought out at every Target I went to basic and Elite I didn't even try looking for the ring |

I want that Finn but I didn't wanna push my luck |

Do the Elites have their own unique number? Does anyone know the dcpi for Rollins?

Seems like people who live in the New York area have the best luck in terms of finding figures. I live in Alabama and I believe my stores have skipped at least 5 waves.

I think most targets Just don't like putting things out. Not big fans of making money I agree. I use to think Walmart was disorganized, but Target has gotten worse. At least I have 4 Walmarts in my area, so they got 4 chances to get something right. My one and only Target in town is still trying to move Tito HOF... |

I haven't had one issue getting the figures. One of my local targets has them out on an end cap. The others still have them in the back but will grab them for me.
