I'm not getting up at 3 am to wait in a line, so I guess that ends my hunt for Select at msrp

There is typically at least a reload. I’d be shocked if not. Seems like every product this year has very high print runs. However if it’s going to be completely random, then we have no chance.

Wondering if this was typical 8AM EST and just different day? Or different time too?

We need Stormshadow to let us know as he appears to have at least a shot

My guess is they grabbed 98% of what was available.

A cool $1.2 million In profits. How isn’t the federal government investigating this nonsense?

Whelp, I’m not waiting in line, and if we have to check Target at all hours of the day, guess I’m out on that too. Disappointing.

Default My rolling Target stock thread

The chatter online is that the 6k is bogus... people saying 2k boxes were available and tons of orders getting cancelled. I guess we’ll see what the reports look like for orders actually sticking/shipping, hoping maybe it was a bot fishing expedition.

People saying every one of their KSR orders were cancelled.

What do you mean by that?

Taxes? Or going after botting in general?

Wishful thinking: maybe they did limited drop at odd hour to bait the bots. I remember when they put Prizm up a few weeks ago, but they couldn’t be purchased, I thought that might have been to bait the bots. Probably not. But then, many of us actually got some at the actual drop.

Yes, it is wishful thinking.

Is there anyone here confirming they got an order in that wasn’t cancelled? Chatter is that bot orders got cancelled same as two weeks ago.

Probably a mixture of both. Just doesn’t seem “legal”, but maybe it is. But if one bot company can secure 6000 of one sku with the sole reason being to resell it, it just seems like it should set off some red flags.

Target is making a huge deal of the “reselling” problem with customer in stores. Why not take a look at the real issue plaguing this hobby.

My Target in Brookhaven has adopted the 8 AM Friday thing unfortunately.

Anyone have the damn link to select? Can’t find it searching on mobile app or desktop. Not like the bots don’t already have it. If you concerned about posting it in the thread would someone not mind DMing it to me?

I think the in-store issue is more safety and order than it is the actual reselling. Target doesn’t care what you do with the product, but they care what you do while in the store attempting to get it.

Bots are illegal, just not in every facet of retail space, right now In the US bots are only illegal for ticket scalping.

Im not a fan of botting but part of a capitalistic society is finding inefficiencies to exploit.

How could they have all been canceled? Then basically no one got boxes. I can't even find the out of stock listing to add. When you search Select a million things come up.
