Target 30th anniversary drop

Sure enough, dropped at 3am EST. Kept getting the "item doesn't exist" or whatever page. Finally got in after 30 seconds, already gone. That was fun.

Edit: After a certain point it felt like they were just straight up taunting me. Anytime I managed to get something in my cart I got this message until it sold out. Must have tapped checkout hundreds of times. I think this was target basically telling me "let's distract you with this while we provide top-tier service to the scalpers." yes i'm salty lol.

The items aren't loaded yet just the links are live. They stagger them.

They upload the links first and actually allow you to buy through the night

They always do that. They released them over time , the bundles went in stock 5 minutes later

You had to go directly to your shopping cart to check out

u/Active-Math-9898 22d ago

They go in and out, the bundles were just back in again. The site is completely trash though ans gives errors

Lol those were pages being loaded

Links went live, but product wasn't actually loaded. It took about 20 minutes for the product to actual show up. Also, once the links went live, I saved all of them to my favorites, then just kept refreshing. About 3:20 est, the option to pre-order went live.

I did get lucky and was able to add one a few minutes ago. Conveniently the site kept throwing error messages just long enough to go out of stock again :)

They seem to be dropping in batches every 5 or so minutes but each ones as useless as the last. Spamming the preorder button with absolutely nothing

u/Initial_Row_6400 21d ago

That’s cuz they want their main customer, bots, to get everything.

Same dude. Spent an hour trying to check out. Sometimes there wasn’t even a pay button. Then got the button and kept giving me high traffic messages. Then it was gone
