    It  was one copy per membership when ordering this but how the hell this seller ended up with 6 copies, 4 sold and 2 available? [auction link deleted]

    They probably just bought a stack at Target. Using the only 10c exclusive line since thats what 10c did.

    While we are on the subject of Ten reissue, my EU 2017 sleeve was significantly darker than my US nineties press. It had lost a lot of the detail from the photo.
    Lazy pressing lol 
    I cant remember exactly but Im sure the tracklisting was a bit blurry as well. I guess its to do with how they saved the artwork files or if they had to scan it or something. I actually thought the sleeve quality on a lot of the singles that were reissued a few years ago was a bit poor as well, slightly blurry text etc.

    Visited a local Target this morning and the person in Electronics looked up this item on their handheld. They have three in the back and can't sell them till 8am on the 20th. 1 per guest. She said they are a small store and bigger stores will receive more copies. These will be easy to obtain if you can visit a target next Friday early.

    Its starting to seem like its truly limited and not like some of the other Target exclusive catalog pressings.

    The run could be massive, but the 1 per person limit is interesting. Haven't seen anything like that with arhet before.

    Anyone know how many are available? I wonder if it will sell enough to get Ten back in the top 10?

    The salesperson said they are always limited to 1 per guest at first. She said if there is no one else looking for it on Friday I could buy more than one copy. I do not think think is any more limited than most of the Target Reissues.

    The Target website didn't seem to limit purchases when they went up did it? Couldn't that ebay seller have just bought a ton of them when they went up?

    I just did the buy 2 get 1 free deal. Not for Ten. All of my titles were different and they all shipped separately. One was put thrown into a big box with a couple strands of those big bubble things. Luckily, it was not damaged. The other two were in regular lp mailers. If that seller bought at Target they could have maybe scored the B2G1 deal. I hope I can score a Ten at Target, but the world won't end if I don't. I already have a mint original pressing.

    Vaporized on Friday yes (which is kind of surprising), but I’d be shocked if they weren’t restocked for as long as it takes to keep them on the shelves. 

    Once again, I really wonder how this would have went down if 10C hadn’t put a few on sale as a “member exclusive” the day before the Target preorder went up. Sellers artificially generating FOMO has been an issue in vinyl releases for a couple years now but this might be the most impressive example I’ve seen yet.

    Target is the worst big box retailer for shipping records. 

    More than half the time i get them in a bubble mailer or a huge box with a bunch of that bubble packing garland. Rarely do I get a record mailer.

    Its a question of how limited they are. 

    Target has had real "limited" stuff be limited.

    I haven't set foot in a Target near me in a year or so. When did they start carrying vinyl?

    To me, unless you dont have a copy of ten on vinyl its a pretty boring release. Could be that we see this getting reissued on different colored vinyl over and over for years to come now. Im thinking Jeff Buckley Grace. Just about every retailer going has had a different color over the past few years.

    A few years ago. But not every location has them. Mine did for about 6 months after they rolled it out. Now they don't.

    I received my copy of this purple vinyl today. It's the same as the 2017 re-issue with its sounding but it's nice to have it. Coincidentally the 10 Club news letter came out on the same day which there's a re-run of this edition and I checked it out at the store to see if there are more editions with a chance for others to buy it and it's sold out. The flippers are going to have an nice field day ripping off other fans and that breaks the heart. I only need one purple copy in my collection and that's all.
