Gah, I  can't believe I spaced out on the Thrawn and missed it.
I think people have been seeing him in store. I didn't see him at my TRU, but ours got the ECCC exclusive well after the con, so keep an eye out!

Well, all weekend Target has been emphasizing the April 17 street date (in stores) for Qui-Gon Jinn. They did say it would be online early am Sunday. Then, around 6pm they did an about face and started selling them in stores. I was unable to leave my house, so I was out of luck. I will try for the online sale. Fingers crossed! I am a little ticked off at Target right now.

Not all Target stores are selling it now. For example, 2 near me are staying with the 4/16 date, or rather, Monday.

Starting to think Target screwed up again. Find it funny it says "Only in stores" and right now, still nothing. Sure, it could go up anytime still, just I have a bad feeling about this. Lol

I do understand about the time thing, just let's see what happens later I guess. I am going to bed soon. If it does go live, have a feeling it will be 5-8am pst.

Don't get me started on AskTarget. I asked about the rumor that the street date had been changed, and got some inane Padawan response. I guess they thought they were being clever. Then a few tweets later they were saying it was available as it arrived at stores. I get them not releasing the time (Target has had major issues with some of their celebrity/famous fashion line releases-and they always release a time for those), but they could have just said they didn't know about my question.

I did hear that Brickseek is now working for this one (DPCI = 087-06-2181)

Happy refreshing! LOL! I didn't stay up for this one, as it isn't a most wanted, but would be nice to have (as a consolation prize for not getting the NYCC one)

So get this, Ask Target is now saying it is sold out. 40mins ago, the account said to keep on checking, but now to this. It never went live just not enough for online. Lol

Update: Now Ask Target is saying to keep on checking the link. XD

Update #2: Back to being sold out or looking into it further. Derp.

Keep checking the Walmart site for Rey. Looks like some maybe in-stock again. I was just able to order one just now, though, I'm worried I wasn't fast enough. Went as fast as I could. Got the email that they got the order with a shipping date. We shall see.

Thanks! Was able to get the Hoth Leia. For the Target Qui Gon Jinn I see that the website went from saying "No Store Information Available" to listing it "not old at this store" for every store. Maybe that's progress?

Brickseek You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login  showed Qui Gon in stock at my store (well, I did go at lunch, since I needed sponges), but couldn't find him.  I remembered the barcode from brickseek and scanned it, showing aisle # he was supposedly located and the backroom stock as none.

When I went to my saved Target store online, it also showed the aisle # for the saved store only.  (I didn't bother checking that first, my store only had 3).

Just now I clicked on the link and briefly saw 'Add to Cart' but was the forum link, so maybe the cookie just updated and he was available as pick  up in store? this morning, or he's coming soon??

I was at 2 Targets today that brickseek is showing has them, but certain neither of them did. Will stop at another on the way to work tomorrow that they show as having 6 just in case. That's a good tip about using the bar code, will have to try that as well.

I had the same experience. I knew it was a long shot, but it was disappointing, all the same.

I can see it now. There will be one left in a store, [member=314]Transmute Jun[/member] and I will show up at either end of the Target aisle and spot it at the same time. Someone else gets a call on their phone one aisle over, it's an Ennio Morricone ringtone ...

Here's a question, why would a ghost Qui Gon Jinn have a ghost lightsaber?
