I agree, more fun ripping than hobby and blaster. 7 hits out of 12 is not bad

With the coupon going on right now it’s all a no brainer at the price.

I ordered five when they restocked today. Sub Total was $99.95 and they are going send a $10 gift card. Guess it’s based on the pretax total.

Yeah, people have been adding a 99 cent toy to push it over $100 and get the $25 card back.

Or a 99 cent pack of Opening Day if you find five boxes in store

This. I absolutely agree. It should be about the experience.

It's crazy how, prospecting in baseball is different from other sports.
Not crazy at all. It's the gamble. Buy low early, sell high at a peak. You don't get that in football because you typically know who the breakout stars will be before they report to rookie mini camp. You typically know even earlier with basketball stars. Lebron James was the talk of basketball far before getting drafted.

100% correct.

I just used the term "crazy" for a lack of a better word. It's extremely fun to say the least though.

Then see I just need to text in a code. Do this but it doesn't work at the self check out so the supervisor helped me get the discount but since I couldn't do it myself I got limited.

Oh well. 12 boxes at $35 off. Nice.
what barcode? Is there another discount for these

I’m guessing there will be four waves of re stocks
Will they ring it up at the register for you in two separate waves? Is that how you did it?

The language in the coupon, which can be easily found in the weekly circular Or in the Target app, says limit one per visit, so I would avoid the register. Self checkout works great. Happy hunting

Found my first 12 boxes last night at Target. Hit 5 autos out of the 12 boxes. No big names, no big name color. Joey Bart Mega Refractor was probably the best base I hit. Overall still a great value at $20 a pop plus the coupon.

Sorry for sounding stupid but at self checkout how do you obtain the gift cards?

You need the coupon. Get it in the Target app, or text TOY25 to 827438. Then at self-checkout there will be a stack of empty gift cards, scan one and it’ll add $25 to it. (Or so I’ve picked up from this thread at least...)

Just did this. Scan the boxes

Scan the gift card
Automatic.

After 30+ trips to targets here in Austin I finally found some this morning at my local store. 15 Boxes. Couldn’t believe my eyes. Plus got 2 x $25 vouchers. Pretty happy. Good luck all!

So I could take my already purchased boxes to a nice customer service rep do a return then take them to self check out to reap the discount?

Technically in-store you aren't supposed to be able to return cards. I'm sure you could get lucky and find someone who may do it anyway.

I've attempted this and I was told if I return them they wouldn't be put back out for sale immediately and I couldn't rebuy them

Go back later and ask someone else. Every store is different, and every employee is different. One store near me has told me half the time they can't touch the Excell boxes, only the rep can. Other employees will gladly open them. Just gotta find the right person.
