Went by my Target yesterday hoping to find PeeWee early,and they only had 4 NECA figures. No Haulathon section set up at all either. It just looked like any old normal day. They might've actually had less stuff than normal tbh. I've seen so many people finding him online,yet I have 3 Targets in my area and not one of them have had a year yet. Distribution is one of the worst problems to deal with as a collector. Ranks right up there with scalpers(who are the scum of the Earth).

I never paid attn to this haulathon before so forgive the ignorant revelation... is the only point of spreading out the products online to cause anxiety in FOMO folks where they'll give in and actually go to the store? I cant see any other reason for doing it and my bias wants to declare its not going to work...but then my first sentence above...so maybe...
I want that Pee Wee. But ugh, Target. The last Target I stepped foot in was because I had to go the bathroom.
I think they space it out to drive people to Target's Website every week, make it available for people, like myself, who don't have Target where they live and not drop $1,000 in items all at once. That's just my take on it.

One of the Targets near me had the Haulathon stuff out last week and I was able to get the animated Shredder figure. I like it a lot! Also the writing on the back of the box is funny.
so are they only supposed to be releasing some stuff each week? Because the Target I was at had like everything out at once. They had the PeeWee Herman out, as well as all the Week 1 stuff mentioned in this original post.
