I have a mini Target near where I live but they rarely have figures so I don't go there very often. I haven't been there in months but was out tonight and decided to see what they had. I turned down the figure aisle and it looked pretty empty but then my jaw dropped when I saw it: a lone Legends 10 Brutus Beefcake sitting on the shelf.
I quickly grabbed it and headed to the self checkout. When I scanned it, it came up as "item not found" so I had to wait for an employee to come over. He scanned it with his device and it came up as $0.00. He apologized and said this must be their mistake so he'd give it to me for less than what it costs. He asked if I knew the price and I said no (they had no Legends tags on the shelf, and I think this Target doesn't even carry the Legends line, so I wasn't really sure what they were charging). He suggested $8. Thankfully I was wearing a mask so he couldn't see how surprised and happy I was to get such a deal!
It was the regular version, so my guess is that someone ordered online hoping for the chase and returned this one to the store, but they do not actually carry it so it was not in the system. I had given up on getting this figure so I was happy to find it at any cost, but can't believe I got it for only $8! So happy to finally add this one to my collection.

If it is the Target at a college location in Chicago, it's the one I returned since I had the regular version and was hoping for the chase (that I ended up buying off eBay). If so, glad it went to someone that wanted it and for a reduced price! |

I wanted this figure for a while and never managed to get it on Targetβs site. Very cool that it was a member here who returned it for me to find. |

Speaking of crazy target finds when it was available I once saw the wicked toys nxt authentic scale ring in a store. Was that available in stores or on their website?

That's so awesome, and so funny you's are both on the board. The community really out here helping each other out, whether they knew it or not. Glad you got a figure you were really desperate for!

Being in Australia I found a basic Roman reigns on the shelf at target Where i am, one Big W has a Roman Basic. The other Big W's have had nothing since mid 2021. One Target only had a Charlotte Basic for the longest time. The other Target only had 1 Elite 85 Bray Wyatt for the longest time. |
