Target #2 - We got there about 10 minutes before they opened and there were already 4 guys standing around waiting for the store to open. They were talking about the quest to get DC figures so I asked them if they were all there to get Vipers and they said yes. I inquired how many since if they were going to buy them all there was no point in my waiting there, but everyone said they're happy with one each. An employee came out asking what we were waiting for, thinking we were after some new Lego set or something, and then said on the Walkie, "Nope, they're here for GI Joe." The dude on the other end said they only have 6 one of figure, and she said, "Okay, well there's a group, so expect to be rushed for them." When she opened the doors we all casually walked to the toy isle while chatting with one another and each one of us took one Viper and only one.

Target #3 - They had only one Viper left and they were holding them in the back as they were only selling one to each customer. He said that Firefly just came in on the truck, but they wouldn't be able to have it unloaded and on the shelves until the end of the weekend.

Target #4 - They sold them all an hour earlier.

Target #5 - They only had one Firefly left. The employee said their inventory shows they have 6 Vipers instock, but they can not find them at all.

Well I give you props for your diligence. After the first Target, I'm done, because chances are by the time I get to the other Targets, the stuff would be all gone anyway.

Speaking of which, while waiting for the GIJoe, I also saw the Star Wars Black Series re released Commander Cody and Admiral Thrawn. So when I tried to buy them along with the GIJoes, the cashier told me they are street dated April. APRIL!!

Exactly why I went out hunting for these. Target has done that to me MANY times, you CAN'T trust Target pre-orders. Walmart's almost as bad.
