Over the past week I have tried to purchase Elites from Targets around my local area and they keep getting denied. Like it won’t let me scan it through then I get an error message and then the Target employee says either they are recalled or have been put out before release date. Has anyone else run into this?

No, mine doesn't have any new ones to purchase. Strange though ?

They are all in the middle of doing resets for the toy department and I also think they are changing the price point for them so they are either going to be the same price as Walmart or they are going to be marked up a few dollars now

I have heard a few others saying that elites weren't ringing up recently. I assure you they aren't getting rid of them just a toy dept.reset.

One of my local Targets has had no regular elites for a month or two now and the last person I spoke to there claimed their system showed they would no longer stock them anymore. Seems odd.

Man if Target marks their elites up even more it’s going to be even tougher getting their exclusives. They are already $4 higher than Walmart. The regular elites will sit and only the exclusive will sell.

Ha! If Target starts charging 8 bucks more than Walmart for Elites, you probably will see them get pulled due to lack of sales. Only way I can see Target bumping the price that much is if Walmart is planning on adjusting their Elites up to like $19.87 or something.

If target raises elites prices I feel the exclusives like ohno will sell and that’s just about it.

I work at Target and there will be more elites coming in.
Had the as same issue whatsoever when I finally found 3 Sonyas waiting on a shelf. Just rang it up manually.

I don’t think they’ being pulled, but I did have a similar situation. Finally found an Ali out in the wild and got him. Rang him up at the self checkout and the price wasn’t showing up, wouldn’t let me scan, asked the employee and they said it’s not in the system. I ended up getting the figure anyways.

Most collectors already prefer buying Elites at Walmart (aside from exclusives) because of Targets $19.99 price. Increasing it even more is definitely going to make 90% of their regular Elites warm the shelves for months. But hey, who knows, maybe they will eventually end up $8 on clearance.
