Only missing some Special characters.

I wish everyone the best of luck.

Congrats on your collection! How many packs exactly did you manage to get? It's at times like these where I wish Target was a thing in Canada

Thank you! 16 packs in total this morning. I was lucky enough to talk to the right person at the right time (store manager) and she held 10 packs for me.

dang congratulations, my partner went to gamestop and they told him it was "online only." truly maddening how retailers vary shop to shop TT^TT perhaps i'll try a different gamestop after my target run.

Yeah they don’t make it easy... Good luck, I hope you can get your hands on some!

I would try and cover as much ground as possible. As I mentioned, my store is the second busiest in the state and it only got 36 packs total. I haven't seen anyone else on this thread mention they got more than 36 in stock at their local stores. If another Target is close, I would try that one while he or you go to the closer one as well, so separate stores. Depending on your time zone, if they haven't opened yet I would leave for the store asap to get there at opening if possible. You MAY have luck with someone putting them on hold for you if you call and ask, though it depends on how savvy the employees in tech are with high demand products if they'd be willing to do it for you. Technically they aren't supposed to but there's always a chance you'll talk to someone willing to help you out.

You're advice totally paid off. Thank you so much! Talking to the right person was key to my success. Again, thank you so much!

I called my local Targets. They were only selling one pack per person, but I managed to talk an employee into letting me have three. My husband also ordered me several packs, but they're not here yet. Both stores I called said they'd have restocks on the 8th so I might pop in then to get more. Today's haul was 18 cards with only two doubles (Marlo and Shino).

You got very lucky that they held 10 packs. Mine was 1 per person and I was the 3rd person to buy some this morning. I felt so lucky with just the one pack. Congrats!

Thanks everyone. I impulsively ordered one more pack. Amazon just makes it too easy with the buy now button

None of my Canadian pre-orders have shipped yet. I was able to get two packs, in person, at EB Games and I placed an order online for 5 packs from The Source with in store pick-up.

I did get Sasha's card from one of the two EB Games packs, so I'm very happy.

The gamestop I went to only received 7 packs.

I’ve gotten 10 packs so far (4 this morning at Target, 6 pre-ordered) and luckily haven’t gotten any double special cards yet! Those are definitely going to be the hardest to get. I have a lot of doubles of other cards though

i hit submit and then the page stopped loading and they can no longer find the page now. ah well. i am grateful i found some today

Go to the Post office thread and start trying to trade the duplicates for specials!

Already got my thread up over there! unfortunately I think a lot of other people are in the same boat; not a lot of duplicate special cards floating around at the moment…
