I had setup an alert, so the app notified me. Their app alerts seem to be pretty quick. I was able to get 3, but had to order a minimum of $35.

Yeah, saw that, but they also have some speed champion sets out there on sale as well, that will will cushion the blow if they popup again today

Yeah...I've pretty much given up on polys the last few years.  And I have 3 70gallons tubs full of them.  The only place around me to get them anymore is some Walmarts.  And that stock seems to be lower.  My Targets have quite carrying polys and minifigures all together and my Scheels isn't quite a big as the rest(no Ferris wheel, Bowling Alley, etc.)

Online only for Quidditch polybag. Currently out of stock.

Actually it appears that Doctor Strange is coming to physical stores as a few stores in the area around me appear to be getting them.

I have found polybags at Target within the Disney Store area, if your Target has that area (not all do).

And out!  And back in!  And out!  Signed up for back in stock notifications and i click as soon as i get them but im too late every time…ugh

I need to find something to get an order over $35.  Hopefully these won't go totally sold out for months like the flower poly bag has been.  I had the Quidditch ones in my cart very early this morning but was too tired to find something else to order and now they are sold out again.

MugenPower

I usually notice Target polys coming back in stock a few times and lasting for longer periods after the initial sellout.  It might take a few weeks to a month, but I've seen them come back so I don't worry too much about missing out when it first shows up on the site.  More recent examples I've noticed are the ones for Dr. Strange, X-wing, and Spider-man.

Polybags seem to be harder to find. A year ago, Scheels had plenty. Around ten or twelve different ones, and plenty of each. Since the beginning of the year, and maybe longer, they've had almost nothing except CMFs. Target and Walmart also seem not to be getting very many. 
The Scheels situation could, I suppose, be a result of the Scheels thread on this forum, but I doubt it accounts for such a large change. 
I wish Target would put all the LEGO in the LEGO section of the toy department! 

Rant over.

karrit

My Quidditch polybags are scheduled for delivery tomorrow along with some non-Lego items ordered to get me over the minimum.  But the 5 Minute Harry Potter Builds book is coming separately supposedly on Sunday.
I haven't visited my Scheels since January so don't know if they've gotten any new polybags yet.  I got all the series 24 CMF'S I wanted from Walmart so never got back to Scheels to see if they ever stocked any 2023 items yet. 
My Target has filled up the two plastic bin things they had hanging at the ends of two aisles with decks of playing cards and some other non-Lego novelty items instead of the polybags that were normally in those.  The Easter polybag was in the seasonal section endcap.  I think they still have the Raya one in the Disney section like in the picture above.  Nothing else the last time I was there.  Another Target filled the double tiered basket they had been using for CMF'S and polybags with some other novelty gimmick items months ago.  And the other Target has no Polybags in their Plastic hanging bin things either, now filled with other non-Lego small items.  Only the Easter polybags in the seasonal section endcap there also.  Got two of the Easter ones as GWP's at the Disneyland Lego store while I was there so I'm thinking of returning the ones I bought from Target.  
The only Polybags my two nearest Walmarts seem to have gotten are Moana, the X-wing, and very briefly the Panda one.  I may have seen the Technic one in one of the stores but I don't buy those.

Yeah, I can't decide if my run on Scheels caused my local stores implosion of their polybag selection. My first trip there they had a dozen or more different polys, and lots of each one. I think they're now down to one or two and only a couple of each. 

I keep hoping to see a massive restock.

I have yet to see any polybags at Walmart and very few at Target oddly enough. I Have yet to see the new CMF series anywhere other than Scheels. I should check back there again sometime to see if they got any more in.

As for the Quidditch set on Target, it isn't even pulling up at all when I search for it. Even when I just type in LEGO and scroll, nothing is around. So I must be missing something.

I picked up a couple of the Dr. Strange polys in-store yesterday #30652
They also had the Moana #30646 and X-Wing #30654 polys in stock.

karrit

Was in a local Walmart yesterday.  They had two series 24 CMF'S and a ton of the Moana polybag for $3 each.  Haven't been to the one I usually visit since I returned from Disneyland so don't know what they have if anything.

Weird. Walmart is one place I’ve always found at least some polybags.

Stopped in my Local Scheels & Target stores today.  Scheels has nothing new in polybags just a lot of the Duplo Elephant, Dots Pineapple Photo Holder and Mini Board & a few Fire Patrol Vehicle as well as some series 24 CMFs.  Target had Moana, Dr. Strange & X-wing in the Disney section.  No sign of anything other polybags anywhere else in the store.

Target drives me crazy with their inconsistency when it comes to poly's and CMFs in particular and from store to store.  Check out, end cap, side of end cap, seasonal, in Lego aisle.  Who knows?  And almost every store is different and they often change it up.  Plus some stores put stuff out when/shortly after it's releases, some store it doesn't come out for 2-3 months later.  Unfortunately, the closes Target to me is one of the worst in the area.

Stopped by a Target I don't frequent often last Friday. It's one that does have the Disney section and yep, they were loaded with x-wings, Moana, and Dr. Strange.  Hadn't seen any of those at any other target around me until this one.  At least I got to pick up a Dr. Strange.  Already had x-wing and Moana from a Walmart some time ago.

Still waiting for HP  poly to show up somewhere, anywhere...

Picked up #30647 at the Forestville MD Target today. DPCI is 204003856. They also had a couple dozen #30652.

rd1899

The local Big Lots had some recently discontinued polys right up front:

• #30434 (Speed Champions) Aston Martin Valkyrie
• #30389 (Super Mario) Fuzzy & Mushroom Platform
• #30390 (Jurassic World) Dinosaur Market
• #30414 (Friends) Emma's Magical Box

All were priced at $4.99. (Big Lots prices for Lego tend to either be full retail or higher.)

@rd1899, it would appear their definition of 'bargin' is different than us Brickset users...

A Target near me (Chicagoland area) has the #30651 Quidditch practice polybags now...

Anyone having luck finding Batman 1992 at target yet? Checked a few myself but the polybag situation was grim.
