I do agree, but.... I already have the symbiote in Venom

I remember first seeing a Target in the movie Career Opportunities... always wanted to go to a Target after that. LOL.

The nearest Target is more than an hour away, sadly. I had the same trouble when TRU was still around, trips to either store were a rarity. It's one of the reasons I view the new pre-order normal as a double edged sword- on the one hand, constantly having to monitor sites, juggle preorders, and all the crap that comes with it is a massive headache, but at least I finally have access to stuff that's exclusive to retailers not located in my area. I'll never forget trying to collect G.I. Joe Kre-o when that was a thing. They were exclusive to TRU, so to find them, I had to go an hour and a half to the nearest store only to find them mostly wiped out, with scalpers having figured out the blind bag codes and swooping up the desirables. I made it through the first wave, got pissed off, and gave up. For years I wouldn't collect new toys at all, actually- I was o-ring Joe only up until about a year ago as a direct result of that.

Now, all I have to do is haunt the forums, be somewhat diligent, set alarms, etc. I've managed to get just about everything I'd like from the comfort of my own home, usually at retail prices. Don't get me wrong, I'd still rather go to Target and just buy the shit, but it's not as much of a dealbreaker as it used to be not being able to.
