NECA Fan Event Announced

Going to be a long drive from Minnesota, but I think I have to go.

Ten bucks to the first person to ask Randy why the Target NECA sections have looked like shite for 6 months with zero restocks!

If I was still in Jersey I'd go. Yesterdades are fun, some are BYOB, not sure if this one is.

My local Target has continued to get stock. It seems to be a store-by-store basis overall as different stores I visit have significantly varying degrees of how stocked the NECA section is. It is sadly inconsistent and I wish Target would actually put the items up on their site even if they wouldn't sell them online as it would help in hunting things down.

My Target has been consistently good as far as being stocked regularly. And I am absolutely, one hundred percent going to this event. Anyone else?

Jealous of you guys and your idyllic Target toy sections :D Thinking about going if I can get the time off, would be cool to have a mini Toyark meetup there!

Actually, I can answer you that one right now.

Target employees do not touch the NECA Toys. They are told by their managers to not even organize that section as it is NECA's responsibillity to have their own reps go to each store to organize and stock the shelves. Target doesn't even actually stock the NECA product in their warehouse, the reps bring it in from wherever NECA houses it.

That's also why NECA started their Ambassador program, to get their fans to help them out.

Oh I actually knew that, I just wanna know why of the 3 Targets near me, there's only Funko DC Primal Age figures and NECA flight stands where the figures should be haha

Is your Target getting remodeled? I ask because my closest one just did so they weren't getting restocked at all. In fact, all of the NECA signs are gone now, so the recent restock is kind of just on the same shelf as the Funko stuff.

Nope! None of them are, it's really odd...

Hmmm,this is pretty cool, doubt I'll be able to make it, but maybe.

Yeah it's only happening in certain areas, and it's happening due to a few reasons. For some it's even worse, because the staff is working slower. First reason is that the Target stores are in the process of a reset. Game of Thrones is another reason, because HBO wanted the merch HEAVILY displayed. Lastly, some of the stores are done. Based on sales performance from what I read. If you're an Ambassador, you may want to ask if they will receive product anymore. Mine went around 6 weeks (LONGEST TIME) without product restocks, then got heavy restock!
