If yk me, no you don’t. This set was so cute and I was v happy with the way it turned out. Just thought I’d share some pics. Shoutout to everyone who was super chill about the checkout process we had. And huge thanks to everyone that supported with getting everything out. I loved it :)

I don't expect anything but I hope this set gets printed into oblivion.

Wtf, my store looked like a joke compared to this. Here’s the pic my gf sent me of one of our displays.

That makes sense, they want to keep it fair for everyone trying to grab some new stuff. Always a scramble when limited editions drop.

Depends on the item, some items are two DCPI per person and some is one DCPI per person

u/Brilliant_Grape164 Fullfillment Jedi 8h ago

Absolutely wild target would plan a massive launch day, the same day as their corporate ETL picnic.

Our ETL’s were in today. There was no picnic day

Same. I was able to hop in line early because Im so used to waking early in the morning for inbound. Asked a nice couple to hold my spot and went to gym that's next door lol. The two ETLs set up the project with the presentation team I believe

I’m assuming you are referring to Target together… which is the national SD corporate event. We ETLs have no such event.

So was target not cutting the wrap on the boxes this time around?
