I ordered 1 Prestige mega originally and it went through. Then I decided to buy more and it has cancelled my 2 subsequent order attempts of 3 mega's and then 2 mega's.

Anyone else get prestige mega's cancelled?

you can only place one order even if the first isn’t for the full limit.

Blasters had a ~42k stock which is as high as any single stock probably will be and the overwhelming majority it seems didn't get blasters and that was with the distraction of which loads first megas or blasters. Megas at ~25k (again probably as high as it will be on any future stock) I think 1 maybe 2 people in here say they got it.

Bring on the 8am Friday lines lol. We don't like online anymore! Kidding, but only sorta..

Next step would be load online but need physical pickup in store like PS5s. Wonder if that would help things. We're all so thirsty haha

Haven’t gotten a in demand product ever from online. At least with in store random stocks I had a chance.

I’m probably done trying to buy retail at this point, I’d like to open some product with my kids but Im not paying flippers with bots.

How do you refresh on the app? I was manually going in and out and setting the filters over and over

I’m not part of a group so I don’t get the links to click on when they go live like a lot of people

If anybody knows of any groups that are open to join please let me know! Lol

Is there some reason why Target can't give you 5 minutes or so to checkout if you get it in cart? Seems like most of us were able to get in cart but lose out before or after hitting place order. Hell, they could give people 1 minute and that would work.

If you think that your average LCS has access to tons of hobby wax at distribution cost, then you have no clue.

I feel you brother - I tried every week and got shut out every single week.. until this week finally.

In store works for me but a lot of holier-than-thou folks in here think they’re more distinguished/better because they purchase online..

I’m happy for anybody that’s able to score anything, online or in store.

it’s semantics. if that was the case then you just wouldn’t have been able to add to cart. the people that checked out faster than you likely added to cart faster than you as well.

And if you figure "well ok, then I'll just cancel my first order myself, and since I won't have any active orders I should be able to place a new order for the higher quantity" - they will still cancel the new order.

Ask me how I know.

App is definitely the best bet in my opinion.
I just click the links in this thread and if the add to cart is grayed out i click back. I am not sure if you can refresh on the app. I keep clicking on the various links and hitting back until I see red on yhe add to cart.
Worked well on both mega and blasters Select today.
You also want to make sure the oin is saved snd all thst. I'd probably try to order some other red card item before next week to make sure the system is in place and not going to slow you down.

I learned that the hard way. Forgot to use a gift card so I cancelled an order, placed a second, using the GC, and it was cancelled.
Lost out completely.

Check Twitter for links before they go live. You can add them to your favorites for quick access (and also "Save For Later" if you can't checkout with them).

Today was my first time trying the app and I thought it was terrible. People were saying things in stock but they were not showing so in the app.

One of the main ways bots are getting around the red card is with “authorized user” cards. each red card can have up to 5 additional authorized user cards that have seperate card numbers and are treated like their own card. so if maxed out, 1 card can get 6 checkouts. seems like target could fairly easily limit the “family” to one checkout, but as of now they aren’t.

Yes but we're talking about 1 lcs not "the average". You tell me I have "no clue" when I'm talking about one singular shop (which you had no clue about) as if you know all. You brought in negativity to show off and got proved flat out wrong. deal with it.

Which goes back to a point from a previous page. Once someone here says that they are in atock, its over.
People will post the link here initially and it will be out of stock becsuse they havent loaded the inventory yet, vut once they do and people report in this forum that it has been loaded its too late yhen. You have to click the link and open the app every 3 seconds for the next 20 minutes after someone posts the links here.
yhe Select stuff was all up for st least 30 seconds today.

What do you mean? An order you placed earlier this morning took a while to show up? I am 100% certain I got 5 Select blasters, but nothing is showing up in my order history.
