Brother and I both picked up a trilogy set from the ft myers store. No problem at checkout

My Target had 2, I grabbed one.

But going after LOTR trilogy first, I missed out on the External HDs.

TerryAlexFan

I missed out.

Went at 5, didn't make it.

Shame on me for sticking with Amazon lightning deals, but you gotta go for the sure thing!

TerryAlexFan

Eh, I don't know.

I just went to my local Target, had a friend of mine check availability on his scanner, none in store, none in the nearest Target.

Target.com says my local store has them in stock.

I should have went yesterday and hid it, silly me. :P

Went in at 4, went right to where I expected it to be, grabbed it and hauled out of there before the register lines formed. On the way, I snagged the DVD set of "Harry Potter 3 Ultimate Edition" for the same price!

I can't believe it, but I went to the Brandon, FL store around 9AM and got it! The shelves were of course empty, so I wrote down the DPCI number and entered it into the price scanner. It showed that it was in stock in the storeroom, so an employee went back and got it for me. He said it was the last one. To make matters even sweeter, there was no security case or sensor wrapped around it. The case is in perfect condition!

Got mine price matched that i bought earlier this week, so glad I asked earlier in the week about doing that again.
In and out then proceeded down to the mess that was the crenshaw blvd walmart.

I went to target around 7AM just to check on this and they were gone. No big loss for me, but it would've been cool. I did get a couple of HDMI cables for $10 each, so that was nice.

Got to my local Target about 15 minutes before opening and there must have been at least 400 people in front of me. I still held out hope on picking up a copy and proceeded to get in line in the drizzling rain. Amazingly, it only took 10 minutes for me to get to the front door. I headed straight for electronics while dodging all the people with oversized LCD TVs in their carts. Just my luck, there was a guy standing there holding the last copy of LOTR trilogy in one hand and all three individual movies in the other debating on which one to get. My Jedi mind trick must be rusty, because he decided to put the individual movies back on the shelf.

Not giving up yet, I wrote down the DPCI code (058-40-0021) to see if they have more in the back. It took them about half an hour with all the pandemonium, but they managed to find another "last copy" in the store.

Now I just have to find a deal on a BR player and HDTV to watch it!

Anybody having luck price matching it at Best Buy with the ad?

DirkBelig

Best Buy doesn't match on BF ads. Walmart does, but that requires going to Walmart.

went around 4:30 this morning to two targets near me and neither had it on the shelf, didn't even think to check online seeing as they might have been hiding it in the back.

Went to Target in Bend, Oregon, knowing that the website listed the LOTR Trilogy as "limited availability" at this location. I then showed an employee in electronics the DPCI number for the LOTR Trilogy (#058-40-0021), they looked it up, found one copy was in the stock room. $7.99 out the door.

...the DPCI number is probably the easiest way for Target employees to check stock.

doctaheath78

Wonder if that is a YMMV....because I called my local Best Buys and they said they would as long as it is not a doorbuster sale.

I told them it is a 2-day Target ad and they said bring it in.

I am at work so I have not had a chance to yet.

I tried two different targets, neither of them had any on the shelves or in the back. Tried to PM to walmart, of coure they didnt have it. Oh well.

No luck in my area, but I had ordered it online yesterday... Would have canceled the order to save on shipping, but it's no biggie. I was expecting Target to have a lot of unadvertised BD deals, but was disappointed. The TV season selection was OK I suppose, and there were some good DVD deals, but I didn't buy one single thing... I bought a LOT of stuff at Ultimate Electronics today, but nothing at Target or BB. That's a first for me on all 3 counts...

b2net

Tried 2 Targets in my area.. 1st one the gal was extremely helpful.. but would not check the back.. the 2nd one... that gal was also extremely helpful... and btw... got the last copy from the storeroom... score !

btw.. use the DPCI number... that is how they found it in the back..

dsa_shea

I wonder when the people that ordered online will actually get it shipped. I'm not going to believe that they will ship it until I get that notice. Now hurry the fuck up already!

I was eating breakfast with my family at a restaurant right beside my local Target, so at about 10:30am I checked online using my Droid and it showed LOTR as being "available." So, curiousity got the best of me and I walked over to take a look.

I located the bin tag, but there were none on the shelf. I found a nearby employee who suggested there could be some in customer's baskets, but she never offered to check "in the back." Thus, I left emptyhanded.

Funny thing, though; the Target website STILL shows it as being "available" for my store. Hmmm...

Patman

Wow, I checked the Target website to see if this LotR trilogy BD set was at any of my nearby Target stores, and the website said that one store 6 miles away had low stock, but I took a chance and drove there (needed to get something to eat anyway), gave the clerk the proper digits and he found a set in the stock room. Hooray!

Usually deals like these, where it's been such long time between it being posted and me finding out, the deal has sailed on past me. Oh lucky day.

Went to Target to grab couple of TV sets and also for LOTR trilogy set but couldn't even find the sale tag on any shelf. Asked an employee over electronics and he told me that they are already sold out of it so I said thanks and walked back to get some Blu-rays. While I was standing in front of the isle 2 employee came over and conversation went on like this in front of me:

Target Employee 1: I am going to grab couple of them (while he is leaning towards Blu-ray isle)
Target Employee 2: Are you going to get.... (Some title I can’t remember right know)
Target Employee 1: Yeah I am going to get that one for my grandma (at this point he is on the floor reaching back of the Blu-ray shelf and grabbing 3 LOTR trilogy)
Target Employee 2: Are you going to get all 3 of them???
Target Employee 1: (laughs) Yeah! (While he is grabbing 2-3 other titles and moves toward checkout)

First I thought he was just stocking movies till I realize he was pulling movies behind the shelves that had been specifically hidden from customers reach. At that point I didn’t know what to do I was just shocked. I thought about following him to the checkout and confronting (or asking for 1 of the copies) him but then I just decided to let it go.
BTW my Target had multiple copies 2 days before sale started and it was showing that they had them in stock right before I went there.

Any luck on me getting this at around 7 p.m. today?

TerryAlexFan

Wait, prices valid 11/25-11/27?

Really?

kenbenobi

Don't expect stores to get more stock in tomorrow... It just gives you more time to find a store that may actually have one... But I wouldn't bet on that...
