    Sure toothaction since I used your info to do it. Thanks to your posting of this:

    087-16-2667:
    Alice, Piper Halliwell, Chekov
    Greg, Phoebe Halliwell, Mr. Spock
    Marcia, Prue Halliwell, Capt. Kirk

    I was able to ask a Target associate I know in electronics how many of this assortment they had on hand. Using his device he confirmed that they had 5 on hand. So I bought 4 of them to trigger a restock of that assortment. I knew another store had gotten them in because the Charmed Prue and Marcia were hanging on the pegs there. So I took a gamble that the distribution center would restock with wave 3. I took the 4 peg warmers to other Targets and returned them. It took about 5 days but wave 3 was sitting there on the pegs this morning. This is not a guaranteed way to get the figures you want. Target could have sent wave 1 or 2 instead. (I've only seen wave 2 once and grabbed Spock then.) Target has also made it more difficult to use Brickseek to know when new figures come in. Brickseek used to show quantities of figures at each store, but Target pressured them into removing that feature.
    Earlier this week Brickseek would show that my local Target was low on stock. Then Sunday, Brickseek suddenly wouldn't show that any Targets had Megos anywhere. I don't understand why Target won't allow Brickseek to help customers find items they want. I'm not going to buy anything extra at Target if they don't have what I came for. I might however shop more if I'm successful in finding what I really want. Anyway, I just made sure to stop in at my local Target to see if they had restocked any Megos and got lucky this morning. But you do need a few Targets around for this to work. I had to go on a road trip earlier this week so I just visited a few Targets along the way to return Alice, Chekov, and 2 Pipers. Hope this helps you. Good luck!

      ^^^ Thanks for the thorough breakdown, puckface! I'm pleased that you were able to apply my cataloging efforts into some success. With that info and your dedicated method I'm sure that others could manage similar scores.

      The wack-a-mole approach finally paid off on my last gotta have it from wave 3 tonight; The good Captain will soon be on his way to Michigan. Whew!

        Man...at least you can buy an Alice at self-checkout. I don't know how the hell I could face an actual person at returns.

        "I need to return this...."

        "Uh....anything wrong it?"

        "Yes. Its very existence...."

          ^ Huh. I mean, I don't need them for my own shelves, but all the Brady toys look really well executed to me. I'm quite glad that there's an Ann B. Davis doll in the world.

              I snagged a green shirt Kirk last night online. It was in stock for about a minute.

                        I had Kirk in my cart last night, but then it was gone before I could check out (less than 30 seconds). I got 5 email notifications within 10 minutes saying it was available again, but each time I looked, it was gone. I had the Bewitched 2-pack in my cart this morning and it disappeared before I could check out. Same thing with the Sulu Mirror Mirror two-pack. This is getting frustrating. Especially since none of my brick and mortar stores have any of these items.

                          Ugh. Sorry about that. It’ll come up again. I missed Kirk a few times before i actually got him. Hang in there.

                            I missed Kirk, but late last night I did grab the last Bewitched Set. I know $29.99 is the regular price, but when you have been getting them for $24.99 or less, that hurt!

                            Kirk and Batman are the last two of my wants that I will order on-line. Sabrina and Prue can wait until they show up in the store (if they show up).
