You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return... -
I would love a Samantha.
But which Darren would they make to go with her? Darren 1 or Darren 2? LOL.Comment

Don't know about "following the rules," as I think it is a case-by-case basis. For instance, I went Monday (July 23) to a local Target here in Dallas during lunch and found the following in the Action figures section of the Toys, all carded figures on pegs:
1. Alice - 2
2. Piper from Charmed - 4
3. Tootie - 1
4. Chekov - 2
5. Norm from Cheers - 1
6. Kirk/Spock Mirror Mirror - 1
and all of the 14" figures (2 of each except for Batman; they only had 1 Batman). Zod is very cool in-person. I did not buy anything, as I was looking for the Dracula, Fonzie, and Sulu figures, but it was nice to see everything in-person. Conversely, I've visited both Targets in my hometown about 20 miles from Dallas, and neither have the figures out yet. I'm guessing they'll have them out on Sunday when they are supposed to be on display.Comment

Its not Target. Its a third party inventory tracker. The website in question has the following disclaimer:

This is off the above topic.
I hate the fact that these are already on eBay for $50. I feel like we are a community that has always helped each other collect. I know it is not any of us doing this but it annoys me !Comment

This was July 12th... we should be expecting what we're seeing now.
What I don't like is that some stores have taken it upon themselves to put this stuff up ahead of time - this is a failure at the store level and the system level (they can tie specific SKUs to sell-by dates so that even if it hits the floor the register will flag it as not for sale yet if someone tries to buy it) that *SHOULD* be treated like a huge deal if it gets out of hand (probably it won't; different regions and districts have different managers and some are probably running a tighter ship than others).
Given how much is showing up and where, I'd guess that this first batch will be one and done - the stores get what they get in the first round. The stores that are getting them should have them already; they'll go out overnight Saturday during resets. IF the store that put them out early followed the planogram, the upside is that it means you should be able to expect them to be on an endcap in toys in any store with the same format as the one that released early. That said, if they're putting stuff out early, my confidence in them following other directions is not so strong.Comment

Said tracker isn't much help here. either, as far as finding stuff on the shelves. I had checked a couple of the Targets where folks have photographic proof and we've had a specific location, and it lists them as out of stock at those Targets. A little while back, I checked Walmart for a Jurassic World dino I'd just seen a couple of 15 minutes before, and it said there were none at the store.Comment

It's real simple don't buy from them....don't complain they have a right to buy and resell....just like we have a right not to buy them from them . If no one buys from ebayers then the sellers won't buy them in the future.Comment
