I have strategically picked the Target I'm going to based on it being the largest one closest to me. The two relatively close are small. They don't look small when you're in there but I have never found a NECA there.
There is another large target around the other large Target but I'm worried they still won't have it. If I had found some Neca turtle stuff in one of them I would for sure pick that one. But at least I have seen actual NECA stuff at both. Worth a shot.

SO HERE GOES!

I'm thrilled to hear that people still go out on toy hunts, getting up early, getting to the store before it opens. I honestly didn't think people really did this anymore. I hope you find tons of stuff!

And the movie figures sold out before I hit post.

It’s not funny anymore. I have zero ideas on why neca continues to offer more chances yet have minute sell outs. It makes them look even worse. Just leave it to the stores and eBay and call it a day. Again, I never thought any company would rival mattycollector for hatred, but we may have a new contender.

Yeah. I'm quietly trying to find a way to remove myself from the NECA game entirely. With so many real world problems, these figures are supposed to be a 'happy' diversion for me, not an additional stressor.

My friend who goes to work at 5am, said they found the link for april live and "in stock" at 5am on Target.com. Put in cart, went to check out, and it was sold out before they could even put in credit card info.

They didn't release the April 2-Pack today. That listing is likely just a placeholder. That's coming later this month.

Well, my friend had a screengrab of it as "In stock". Might have been a site glitch.

Glitch or faked. I believe April doesn't release until August 6th, then Slash and Leatherhead on August 20th.

[JerpJerp]

Any links or upc stuff I could show them at Target right now?

My friend is probably one of the most honest people I've ever met and definitely not the type to make a fake image since they have been crazy waiting for these since the reveal, so would have to be a glitch. Not surprising, I've seen target's website have issues many times.

[usernamedustin]

Went to two targets. No TMNT. They just told me NECA guy comes on Tuesday and Friday.

[webz]

I know my local Targets don't stock the Neca aisle until the afternoon. They aren't supposed to be stocked by "normal" employees. Some stores have Neca reps stocking them, others have the media/electronics lead stock them.

Tell him to check stores if possible. I'm seeing people find the April set in stores. So that hit early.

[Neoblackdragon]

Well I hope Casey/Ralph Two Pack finds it's way up there for the US.
Though personally I'd just like Casey solo. I don't need two Ralphs.
Especially now Walmart just isn't good for distribution.

3rd target says that they haven't seen the NECA guy since March.

I didn't find anything either. 3 huge targets in LA. I talked to about 3 different employees at each Target. They all said there was none in stock and they didn't see any shipments coming in, or, knew of any shipments. They checked all of the targets in the LA area and they didn't have any either and didn't see plans for shipments.
At one Target I was told maybe there would be a shipment next week because their NECA section is getting revised. But they didn't know what that really meant.
Another employee at a different target told me to call after 3pm because maybe a second shipment for the day would come in.
A manager told me NECA is a separate shipment from the Target shipments since they are a third party seller. That is one of the reasons they can't track any shipments from NECA coming in. It is up to NECA when the product arrives. He specifically said they are usually separate FedEx shipments that come in. They need to be sorted through on location. Which may also mean why we don't see them in the Target system saying they are 'in stock' most of the time. Even when are actually in stock because they just get put on the shelves without registry until purchase.
I politely pushed every employee to please go look in the back because we allll know sometimes those packages are not in the system and hiding in the back. They all pretended that never happens, except one guy. He went in the back to double check and found nothing.
Did everything I could.

Well, I'm getting ready for the online order now....hope it goes well......................

Then I'll be checking after 3pm and going to the 3 targets one more time today.

I'm in the Seattle area. My experience was almost identical to yours.
