The restock rumors are true. 48 boxes are currently sitting on the shelf. That bottom row is 3 boxes deep. Holy smokes.

All I said was that the product base RC will sell more AFTER the product dries up. I never said it HAD dried up.

I have seen boxes at 2 of 3 targets near me, but not even an empty spot where the hangers might have been had they sold out.

BabaORiley · 11-08-2018, 02:29 PM

Bought 40 off Target.com and busted the first 10 Megas (will update later with another 10):

As I've noticed a couple others say, feels Gleyber-heavy but understandable given the sheer number of his base cards in the set.
1st 10 boxes:
Autos:
Josh Hader
Gleyber Torres HMT9 xfractor /125

Refractors:
Gleyber Torres HMT 26 red /25
Victor Robles /250

Other Notable (mainly so I can track across the next 30 boxes, but to also give a feel of the collation):
Acuna RC 1; RD 4; IA 2 - 7 total
Soto RC 2; RD 3. - 5 total
Ohtani RC 4, RD 4, IA 2 - 10 total
Torres RC (batting) 2; RC (fielding) 2; ASG 2; RD 4; IA 3 - so out of 70 packs there were 15 Torres cards including the big 2 hits - strangely, it felt like there were even more than that
Albies RC 2; RD 2; IA 1 - 5 total
Andujar RC 4
Robles RC 4
Hoskins RC 4
Buehler RC 2
Devers RC 2

Haven't sorted yet but I'd imagine there was one complete set and a good chunk of set 2.

EDIT:
2nd 10 Boxes

Autos:
Buehler Xfractor /125
Hoskins
F. Vazquez

Refractor:
Hosmer

Other Notable:
Acuna RC 1; RD 4; IA 0 - 5 total
Soto RC 4; RD 3. - 7 total
Ohtani RC 4, RD 3, IA 3 - 10 total
Torres RC (batting) 2; RC (fielding) 3; ASG 3; RD 3; IA 4 - 15 total, again
Albies RC 3; RD 0; IA 2 - 5 total
Andujar RC 4
Robles RC 2
Hoskins RC 2
Buehler RC 3
Devers RC 2

I guess the only takeaways I have, collation-wise, through such a small sample (140 packs) is that I'm not having as much luck pulling the Acuna Base RC and am on pace to have 70 total various Gleyber cards by the end of this little experiment.

Looks like Ill be checking stores after work.

Hamfisted9 · 11-08-2018, 02:43 PM

I spoke with an Excel rep recently....it's based on product velocity. He even took his iPad out and showed me what he sees. It's crazy how detailed it really is especially when you go to the store and see the whole section mauled by rabid animals. The stores that get the most waves are the stores that self stock and don't wait for the rep to come in. The faster the product gets to the floor the faster it sells and the more cards they get. I guess technically Target is supposed to stock regularly and the rep should only need to tidy up the area when they arrive.

Somebody else talking about it being sold out everywhere and production not necessarily being up.

I just ordered 60 on Target.com so far so good. My back orders from the other day show no movement. Grab them while you see them. Lets see how long they last.

Dried up, for the time being in NJ - a net of 6 packs and 1 box across 8 stores in about a 45 min drive. Sure there will be multiple restocks, but was hoping for one during the 10% off.

Online shopping it is
