It helps to have the item number (Storm/TB 79659824) and just ask the person in customer service to check.

Basically, the answer is maybe? If the Target is close, it's probably easier to just check in person and/or try to find a helpful employee, which seems about 50/50 for me.

I collect GI Joe and there is a giant shitstorm that will be an ongoing issue with Target exclusives.

Mostly I just go and say, "Hi, is there anyone who can help me in toys? I'm looking for an item the website says you might have instock. I've got the DCPI number." Once you do that, they usually are more than willing to be helpful since you already did half of the work for them.

The little emo guy in electronics was just not budging on the street date

I tried to call the one across town and that's what I got in two languages
