Greenbrier location is also the closes to me and I kept going there everyday hoping to find it. Started using popfindr thanks to the people here and saw the stock finally went up there. This whole hunting for the NXT wave & Pete Dunne has been very frustrating as no Target workers are willing to check the backstock for me and just tell me that the scanner says there are none in the back Man, i asked this short reddish hair little goatee mother  er and he scanned a nxt 3 and said none were in the back. I knew he was bullcrapting from his demeanor. Also popfndr don’t lie, lol. So i hung around for a min and found this tall guy cutting through looking like he was handling business. Asked him to check and he keyed in the # i gave him and it didn’t come up. Showed him my popfndr and he went to the shelf to scan the tag on the peg and said there should be a case in the back and go hang tight. He came back like 10 mins later with the goods. I scooped both Aleisters and a drew. He hung the rest of the case. don’t show them popfindr. Also did you give them the 087-06-8819 dpci? Or individual one? Individual dpci won’t work |

GD. To all y'all still grinding target.com, hustling in-store, doing whatever it takes to snag these figs... much <3 to ya. Y'all deserve it. And don't forget to snag a Top Talent Rollins. You'll need its calves to make Aleister Black proper height.  |

In an imaginary world: Say Target sets up a pre-order for 30 days online. Say they only get 50,000 pieces ordered. Then take half that number and send to brick & mortar stores and allocate based on toy sales volume. You can change variables with the pre-order window and/or amount sent to retail stores after that. Target can maximize the money off the exclusive, collectors are happy. Geez, is it really that hard ? Glad Ringside offers their exclusives so everyone gets a shot. Yeah, you don’t get it though. The whole reason stores do these, is to get customers into stores. They really aren’t dead set on customers actually having the figure, they want these to draw people into the actual stores. A place like target won’t get into preorder nonsense, because it just doesn’t make sense for them to do it. |

What number did you give him that didn’t give any results? Pretty sure the tag on the peg is the DPCI. I had no issues two Thursday’s ago when the employee scanned the elite tag to look regular elites up leading to him bringing me the case of E64. Gave him 52166717, no hits..... then he scanned the tag on the peg.... viola, 10 piece extra biscuits in the backroom |

I called a Target tonight and the employee said 3 area Targets (North NJ) had a set along with Pete Dunne! The crew member said he would check the shelf just to verify the system and unfortunately it was not correct. My hunt continues for Drew, AB, and Pete Dunne He did have it til he realized what the hype was sadly. Smh |

Cause the guy I had scanned the peg too and it showed him zero in the back |

Cause the guy I had scanned the peg too and it showed him zero in the back I’m no target expert but i know a little something. There’s a category called “backstocked”. It’s like when they go to fill something up and it’s full then you got like half a case left, they scan it under this “backstock” deal and it allows them to put in a location in the backroom. Like up in bay 43, etc. but if it’s still on the line (sorted by category, fresh off the delivery truck) it will not show “backstocked”. Then you gotta go in a different menu to see the on hand quantity. Like i said, second dude was super cool and checked on hand quantity and saw there was a fresh case delivered. He assumed it was still on the line (never got pushed to the floor) went to the toy float or 2 and cherry picked the case. So until it gets worked, there’s kinda an “in limbo” deal happening. Man, i shoulda got that guys name to write him a stellar review for the way he helped me out. I’ll run across him in the future I’m sure. |

Yeah in store you need to give the employees the DPCI number that is on the pegs.

FOund more nxt elites But missed DUNNE I missed Dunne by minutes TWICE this week. It was awful. After a long day out yesterday, I got home and checked Popfindr. A Target an hour away had their stock jump so I called on a whim. None on th shelf, but the girl was super helpful and suggested she check the back and to hold for a few minutes. She came back and asked “You said Pete Dunne, right? I have one. Want me to hold it?” I inhaled my dinner, got back in my car, and drove the two hours round trip to snag him. Happiest I’ve been to get a figure in ages. I was able to see the girl, her name was Casey, and thank her personally. Casey at North Huntingdon Target, you da real MVP! |

Put the number and your zip in now and look at the numbers. Keep checking and when you see an increase by 8, call or get there to check. It’s been 100% accurate for me. It’s how I nabbed a full case of NXT for me and marino13 last week and Dunne yesterday. |

Working 29 years as a retail manager for various big box stores, yeah, I do get it. As a consumer, when I go looking for exclusives and constantly don't find them. I sure as hell do not purchase any other items that day from that retailer. on the flip side, when I do luckily find one, I am more apt to buy something else on the way to the checkouts.

Oh you mean actually popping out the pins in the knee joint? I've never done that either. Wonder if anyone could explain in to us? |

I've never done that either. Wonder if anyone could explain in to us? I used to always heat the knees with a hair dryer and used pliers on one side of the pin pushing it inwards to push through towards the other side, while pulling the bottom lip of the knee outward at the same time. The pin will end up going out the opposite side, completely freeing the one side and making it where you can just pull the pin the rest of the way though to completely remove it. The pliers work when pushing the pin back through the holes as well when reassembling. It's not the easiest thing to do but it's possible and gets easier once you've done it a few times. |

I had someone get the nxt elites from the back today when I called to put them on hold. Sadly couldn’t do the same for peter 😓 |

Still looking for a set for my son, all but Drew. If anyone has or finds extra and doesn't mind helping out, let me know.
