I went back to get another one. It was a hot mess in there and the "associate phone" employee told me that if it wasn't out, they didn't have it. I found a floor rep and showed him the DCPI and he went back and got me one. There was only one left. There were 7 when I went at 2 PM.
DH asked the head toy guy and he told him no, flat out (I think On purpose). So DH found a new eager to please stock guy with the look up gun, and he got it no problem!
They were on display in my target - right with the other Lego sets.
They have also been found on display with the Disney princess gear, not around the other Lego stuff. But the easiest thing is to find an associate with the gun, the gun will tell you where it is.
I think nearly every girl in F's class is now getting this for X-mas =)
At my target it was just sitting there right next to the other Disney princess Lego sets. I didn't see it right away and had a guy looking for me, it wouldn't give him the aisle number. There were at least 15 when I went
Score! It only took three Targets, and literally right down to closing, but I got an associate to give me one!
I went to the three stores in my area that had the most. The first one I went to customer service and was told that they weren't available for sale, and all the other stores I heard about shouldn't have sold them. The second store, I went right to the toy section and found someone who went so far as to look in the back for me, only to come back and say, again, they weren't available for sale yet. (Even though, according to the inventory tracker, their store had already sold at least two since I first saw it.) So then I made it to the third store less than 10 minutes before closing, found an associate in the toy section, and he came back with it 30 seconds before they announced the store was now closed. Phew!
This is the coolest part for me, Finley has no clue that this even exists. So it will actually be a surprise!
And this is why I drove all over after bedtime like a crazy woman – my girls will be so surprised!
Plus, if I didn't get it now, come January they'd be begging for it. Emily asked for the damn dolphin cruiser from right after last Christmas until she finally got it for her birthday last month.

Thank you! My friend and I went on a wild chase around the stupid highways of Texas looking for them! We got one for each of our girls! It will be a total surprise- they know it doesn't come out until January! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Good thing my kids don't know this exists, or I'd be a Christmas ruiner.

Same here, DD was absolutely loved the Tangled tower Lego set, so I'm pretty sure she's going to flip out about this. I got her the Olaf snowcone maker too, which she is also entirely unaware of as far as I know. Between the Frozen stuff and the AG accessories, I'm pretty sure this is going to be up there on her list of best Christmases.
The farther Target in Exton is the one that finally sold it to me. Godspeed, my friend.
I don't think I'll make it all the way there alive with both kiddos. When I brave a target trip with them now, it's to kop where there's a drive through Starbucks. It tastes better than target sbux, I swear!

You guys!
A friend just texted me from Target about something totally unrelated - I asked her to go check for the Cinderella castle just in case their online inventory was wrong. (no dice)
BUT! Jasmine's Exotic Castle was released early - just like Frozen.

I went after I called and found an eager stock boy
jealous! The eager stock boy tried to find it for me, but said they were all out and even looked it up by # and name.
A FB friend did find it in another store and she called and had 2 held for us. Her MIL is getting them. I'm pretty happy. If I wouldn't have randomly run into her in the lego aisle, I wouldn't have tried any harder and been just fine with that so this was a nice bonus.
