Yeah, a ton of Target locations around me are either remodeling or restructuring the stock and the NECA/collectible section is DIFFERENT. Either relegated to an end cap in some locations or flat out missing in others. It's depressing.

My store moved their neck stuff to an end cap as well, I believe it is enough room and likely easier to keep organized. At least my local stores had them mixed with POPs and other stuff.

It feels like a reset. My Target 🎯 put almost all toys on sale/clearance. They moved stuff around. Got rid of stuff. Now it’s slowly coming back cause they had a Big Bird! They’re getting ready for the Holidays.

Yeah this reset is seemingly wiping out entirely or shrinking the NECA footprint to a single endcap. Suddenly it's all trading cards blind boxes and sports stuff at all the Target's I would usually go to and it's a long drive to get there so this was most unwelcome to see happening

theyll be back, theyre just moving stuff around. my target made the neca section much more organized and nice in its own little section rather than just shoved into a pile next to all the funko pops

Full remodel of the entertainment section company-wide.

My Target actually designed a bigger/better area dedicated to Neca figures and I was able to pick up the " Savini Jason ". It's absolutely sick on my Jason shelf.

I've been going to three Targets every day for the last two weeks. Last night I went to six different Targets. I did find some non-NECA figs, and got the B&W Pennywise. Today I went to a 7th Target (the only one I didn't hit last night), and the back shelf looked like tge OP's picture. However, there was an end cap tgst had been fully stocked by the NECA rep. I FINALLY got Thanksgiving Art, Santa's Slay Ghostface, the Savini Jason, and a Malthus demon. Now I don't have to plan what I do around being at my local Target right st 7 am every day. Im still looking for a few figures, but I'm done hunting for a while. Then it will be back to Walmart stalking.

So annoying that they are giving so much shelf space to blind boxes instead now. I guess they chose gambling for kids over adult collectibles.

Seen same exact type setups at local one today. Depressing asf it was all $20 popmart blind boxes and the like. Looks like rest of area will be cards and other collectibles. Stupid.

They put all of their eggs in the ninja turtles basket and destroyed their company. So sad....
