has 11' Bowman retail hit NOVA yet?!

Toys R Us...I'm in MD, and found it there. Unfortunately, they mark the price up. Others on the east coast are finding it at Toys R Us.


I don't know if you read my post regarding Target, but they have 1 person that stocks their shelves. If the shelves are full, they usually don't bother to put more product out...even if it's new stuff.

The guy at my Target says that boxes can sit for days/weeks/months before they put stuff out.

Walmart is a little better. But they stock once or twice a week because someone comes in to stock the shelves (Beckett Associates). You'll need to know the schedule.

Hmmm, that's odd. I asked a Target manager in Norcross, GA if they had 2011 Bowman in the back. He told me they don't carry sportscards at the store. A vendor comes in 2-3 times a week to stock the cards section.

Location is probably a factor. I went to Target on Thursday night and happened to catch the guy stocking the shelf. He said he just back from vacation and a bunch of boxes were sitting there waiting for him to stock. He had 3-4 boxes at the card area, but he told me there were more at the customer service desk. He took me over there and opened the rest of the boxes. He opened 8-9, but none of them had 2011 Bowman. He then proceeded to tell me that he has seen boxes sit in the back for days/weeks/months. It just really depends if there is room to put more product up on the shelves. But he seemed really nonchalant about it. I was about to kick him. I can say this with some certainty, but that particular target NEVER seems to have things out in time.

On the other hand, I've see the person at Walmart stocking the shelves. She has some fancy product layout diagram that she uses to make sure things are where they are suppose to be. Much more organized than Target. But like I said, she told me see only stocks the shelves once a week. That was 6 months ago, so that schedule may have changed. I went there last week when she told me she usually goes there and you can tell no one had stocked the shelves. But later in the week, it looks like someone had been there...so the date has most likely changed.

For all you looking for Bowman in the DC area, Toys R Us is your best bet. If you get lucky, your Target is more organized than mine. Then there's Walmart if you have one close to you. But if you have to have it now, check Toys R Us first.

FINALLY!

Hit to hit one of the local Target's to pick up some supplies for the uncoming holiday trip, and found 3 Blasters in a card waiting to be put on the shelves. I helped myself to ONE. Wish I could of snagged the other 2, but needed to conserve funds.

Pretty bad blaster.

No notable base, chrome, no color, or even decent insert.
No auto





.






But this made up for the rest...




.

Been selling for $50-$85, so pretty stoked.
