My target now says in stock, doesnt even have an aisle number like normal, just says in stock in toy department. Wonder if it's still causing issues.

They were in stock at a Target nearby. When I went, I showed the employee that online it was listed as in stock in their store. Right when he identified it on his scanner, he mentioned it said do not sell until 9/9/22. But he said he would check with his manager. A minute or two later he came out with two of them. He went to ring me out at electronics but he couldnβt ring it up. When he scanned it, an error message popped up saying it canβt be sold to 9/9/22. Was a really nice dude β¦ seemed to really want to sell it to me but there was nothing he could do. No big deal, I am guessing theyβll be plentiful when theyβre actually released. you shouldβve just scanned a lane or undertaker ultimate haha I did that and grabbed 2 yesterday before coming back to Chile after mania week! |

So several stores around me popped up in stock showing 1 left, but not available for pickup. So Iβm assuming employees are grabbing them

I asked an employee and she looked it up and the store system shows they donβt have any and that theyβre street dated. I just find it weird that In the hours of the night when these stores are closed they magically get stock and are either 1 left or shows out of stock already. |

Most targets unload their truck piece by piece overnight, and have overnight stockers. Idk the process since covid happened, but counts get updated when they are done scanning in their truck at whatever time its at. Mine said not in stock yesterday, and in stock today, but employee gave me the good ol "all toys are all stocked on shelves, of not there then we dont have it" feel bad for the poor sap, lazy a hole lol |

I called another store that showed 1 left. They are sold out of their first shipment and are expecting more next week. They didnβt have any yesterday so itβs safe to say employees are likely scooping up these first sets pretty quick |

If target employees are stealing them, wouldn't There be a lot more? |

Having worked at one for almost 5 years previously, I dont think Target employees are as concerned about this figure as you guys are giving them credit for.

If target employees are stealing them, wouldn't There be a lot more? I have 0 idea what the motive is. Iβm just making an assumption. I have 12 stores in my area and yesterday around 10 pm only one store had stock. This morning before 8am, over half showed stock. When I call the stores that show stock, theyβre telling me they either donβt have them at all, or theyβve sold out. Itβs probably more of Targetβs system being wonky and this oddball street date. But ultimately itβs all a guess |

Its probably a problem in a small handful of stores. The conspiracy that its happening at a rural Illinois Target is funny. Especially that EVERY store has the same problem...there's obviously a mistake somewhere. I don't think there's an evil network of part time toy stockers who are modifying inventory numbers across all Target's. I have 3 stores in my area that says one is in stock, can't be ordered online, and I call and am told they can't sell it because its streetdated. |

A lot of your stores are going to say they are in stock, and not actually have them, because people are ringing up other figures then taking the Batistas to get around the street date. This royally screws the inventory method.
