Retail doesn't hit the shelves in my area until a week or two after Blaster Box breaks show up posted in the breaks section here so I don't anticipate an early taste myself.

This week.
Product already shipped to retail stores and should be showing up on the shelves over the next 24-48 hours.
Be on the lookout and avoid blasters!
Where are you getting this info from?
Distributors,
and topps just confirmed it,
toppscards Topps Company: Bowman retail ships this week. You should start seeing on shelves soon.
Correct me if I am wrong but at the stores by my house the product comes from Excell Marketing. Won't they have to get it first then on to the stores? I don't see them being in those stores before next week.

It either comes UPS or a separate box trucking company depending on size of order. When Target receives it, it goes into a room where it sits until the card lady comes and puts it out, but the lady doesn't hit the Target every week so some Targets in different areas have it on the shelves before others. This is why some have it out and some don't. Target themselves are not responsible for putting the product out when it arrives. They could do it, but the chances of that are slim and none.

One of the Targets near me actually puts the boxes that the cards ship in on one of dem dear dolly/hand truck thingies and leaves it right near the aisle where they keep the cards. It sits there until like the poster above said, the rep comes to put them out on the shelves. Whenever I see them sitting there, I peak inside and if I see something I like, I buy it, provided it's still sealed or doesn't like like it's been poured through by pack searchers. It's the ONLY way I will even buy cards from a Target/Walmart anymore, aside from blasters. The packs/jumbo packs are so molested that not only is there nothing in them of value, even the base cards have bent corners and edge damage.

Just went to Target to pick up some household necessities and scope out the 2011 Bowman situation...
When I went in I headed straight for the card aisle and found nothing new.
I did my shopping and on the way back 2 sealed cardboard boxes were sitting in the card section in a cart with tape that said time sensative product, get to shelf ASAP (or something like that).
At this point the mission began. Lets just say that if the cardboard boxes were a compound in pakistan and Target was the Pakistani government, I went in without reguard because I wanted Bin Laded (2011 Bowman).
I'm sad to report the mission was a failure because it was a decoy complex holding tons of magic/yugioh/wwe cards. Both compounds did not yield Geronimo.
Just thought I would let people know that were eyeing those cardboard boxes, 2011 Bowman wasn't in the 2 sealed boxes at my Target...

I forgot to mention I had a rogue agent on my team, the manager was helping me and she was getting a kick out of my enthusiasm for the cardboard crack...
