    Nice... wish my Target had looked like that.

    Great to see vinyls on the floor. :)
  • Sweet. Which Target do you manage around here? That doesn't look like the electronics department at the South Philly store.

    Nice! My closest target just had some cds on a rack but no promotional material. This is very nice. Also, as someone who watches a fair share of TV I have yet to see The Fixer commercial (or hear the new song on the radio) If I wasn't already a fan of the band and on this board I would have no idea about the new album.

    Just yesterday, a buddy asked me when PJ's new album comes out.

  • Not even close to what mine looked like on Sunday. They just had the CD in the top row of their new releases. No vinyl, no shirt, no display. When I asked someone there where the vinyl was, he didn't know what I was talking about, looked it up, and then said they didn't have it.

    Same for me, nothing like this on Sunday, however when I went back Tuesday for random shopping I checked again and this display was there, but empty. Cool that they sold all their vinyl in Wilmington, DE :D
  • The backspacer floor display at my Target looked completely different. There was no space for records or shirts on it, just CDs. It didn't look anything like that one. It was obviously a Backspacer specific floor display with the artwork and all that, so I get the impression that the full floor display with all of the merchandise is available in select markets only.
  • 2 of the 3 Targets I have visited within 10 miles of my home have the same display up.

    All the sales people have been on the ball with knowing about the vinyl, eventhough it hasn't arrived yet. That's fine for it will come.

    I have shopped at Target for 10 years now and love the stores, always clean and never jammed packed with crap making it hard to move around like Wal-Mart and K-Mart.

    Question, what will you do with the display items once the major push is over? I would love to land one.
  • That's what the display at my targe looks like. I'll be getting the fixer vinyl once I get my next pay check.

    Who here bought the shirt? I did and I fuckin love it, soooo nice.

    Cool display. When I went to the Target where I live I could barely find the CD; if it hadn't have been on an endcap I wouldn't have even known it was there. No vinyls or T-shirts either. :(

  • is it worth approaching the manager at target and asking what it would take for me to get the big display sign hanging from the ceiling when they are done with it??? or is this something that gets thrown away by them or whatever??

    S. Philly


    Also Guys not every store is selling Vinyl.. only selcet stores ... so if your store does not have them.. it may be because they are not selling them... i think only 400-500 stores in the chain of 1600 are selling vinyl..
    and some stores are receiving their vinyl late because of shipping delays unrelated to target

    thank you so much for posting pics!

    :mrgreen:

    i wish the target manager near me was a pj fan.

    i was just saying on another thread......
    Well I don’t care if they sign with them, I’m just a little minutely peeved with them because it cramped my ‘new pj’ experience.

    I wanted to walk in there and see ‘p-e-a-r-l j-a-m’ plastered somewhere. Instead, I had to ask them to get them outta a backroom. Like they were a two headed monster Target was ashamed of.
