My bigger Q is why is there vinyl in the stores, but not yet shipped from 10C?

NO shit! I feel like writing return to sender on my ten club vinyl when it comes in and getting a credit on my credit card. $27.50 and not even shipped when I could walk into Target today and get it for $20.

i asked and looked around both austin stores on the list and found no shirts. anyone find them in austin?

Target at IH35 and Parmer has the shirts. They are not displayed as of 9:30am but locked up in the electronics cabinet at the register. You have to ask for them.

Got mine at the Roseville, CA store. Right as you enter the store, go right and boom, there it is.

it was not at the target in liverpool (clay), NY, but i did find it at the target in fayetteville, ny

it wasn't on a rack, it was behind the electronics counter...and the sizes seem to be running very small...i normally take a medium to a large in a tshirt and today i had to buy an XL

Um, how is it "stealing" when I waited in line with my purchase and the Target clerk forgot to ring something up? I didn't realize that the album wasn't on the reciept and that I hadn't paid for it until after I left the store and got home... It's not like I hid it under my shirt or in my purse and snuck out of the store w/out paying for it. If I did that, then it would make me a thief. But that didn't happen. The store's mngr. (who rang me up) was the one who screwed up by not scanning it and still put in my bag with the rest of my purchase, not me. I'm not a thief, never was, never will be and I don't appreciate the self rightous hypocrites who say I am. Sour grapes... You mean to tell me if this happened to you that you would drive an hour back to Target to rectify a mistake that the store made in your favor? If your answer is "yes" that's BS; what a stroke...

Furthermore, PJ won't take a loss on this, Target will, for having idiots at the cash register not ring up someones purchase correctly.

Also, the 3 shirts were for myself, my husband, and son, not buying extras to sell... So get bent! Sounds like jealousy to me... So go ahead and bash all you want: "Tough titty said the kitty, but the milk's still good!"

Did you pay for it? no? Then it is stealing. If you were an honest person You would go back and pay for it. You felt like somebody owed you something because you could only buy 1 shirt. Be a grown up and pay for the record

i agree, definitely stealing. in this case though it could be called "willful blindness".

Hadley, MA had no CDs or shirts this morning. I found an employee who a fan, who really went out of his way to find the goods cuz he was looking for them himself. He knew that Hadley was on the shirt list before I brought it up. His supervisor said they are expecting a truck with the CDs tonight(?) but he hadn't heard anything about any shirts.

Personally i find this a BS excuse.

You only went to target to pick up the shirts and cd (you made note thats the only reason you went) the cd was 12 bucks and the shirt is 20. The math in your head shouldve said hmmm the t shirt and cd for 20 bucks, somethings not right. Now the typical response to what im saying is "well i went and bought more than the cd and shirt" but i wont buy that for a second. You said you went to target for the sole purpose of buying the shirt, 3 of them in fact. if im shopping i watch the cashier scan my things so the price is correct and i also have a mental note in my head about how much all my purchases should be. And when its not close ill look at the receipt before i leave a store. I mean thats the smart thing to do. I worked retail for years and i know prices get messed up so i just dont take my stuff home and THEN look at receipt. I am just not buying your excuse to cover up screwing a band and store out of money. Go back and pay for it, who cares if its 1.5 hours away. Morally you know thats the right thing to do.

This is so bogus, seriously Target. Husband went to Target in Plainville Ma had some CDs, no vinyl no shirts. He said he looked everywhere, including the silly vintage tshirt section and no dice. Of course he didn't ask anyone. But come on target this is part of yr contract w pearljam so get yr s@$! together.

eddiefnvedder · September 2009

i bought my t shirts today up in ankeny iowa at around noon today. There was 8 t shirts left, 1 xl, 3 large and 4 mediums. I didnt know there was a limit and neither did the cashier so i picked up a large and an xl cuz the XL looked small!! I hope these dont shrink.

WaveCameCrashin · September 2009

I don't undeerstand why they only chose select stores to sell the shirt. ther's not one store in the state of S.C. WTF :? And who decided what stores got the shirts If you go look at the list of all the stores there are some states that have lots of stores showing. Can anyone explain this ?

jackwvu · September 2009

they had them in my local store in nj, but it was an adventure. went at 8 am when then opened. they didn't have the cds out. They told me they came out tuesday, i had to explain to them that they came out today, so the guy went in the back. asked me what size tshirt i wanted. I told him the biggest they had. he came out with a box of cds and an xl tshirt which looked like a child's size. so i didn't buy it.

BamaPJFan · September 2009

My Targets don't have the shirt. I'd have to drive two hours to the nearest location that does. I went ahead and bought a medium size from Target.com. I'm have a thin physique, so I can probably wear the medium, but I just want the shirt for a keepsake - don't really plan on wearing it.

fallingupsomehow · September 2009

They had the t-shirts at the West Des Moines (Clive) store in Iowa. I bypassed the shirt though. I finally renewed my Ten Club membership instead for the $20 I would have spent on a shirt. I don't think I've renewed my membership since '04 or '05.

Just got back from our Target and got the shirt. Also picked up an extra lp & cd.

They didn't have too many though unless more were in back. They were just laying on the counter in the music section. It definitely does run small but that works in my favor.

WaveCameCrashin · September 2009

so Im confused :? you can get them on line ??

mtade17 · September 2009

I live about an hour away from the only Target in Alabama that had the shirts. I looked all around for the shirts, but they were nowhere to be found. I finally walked over to electronics and asked the only guy I saw and he said that he had just found them in a box. This was at about 8:30 this morning. He stated that they had only gotten 12 in. As I was standing there, 2 other guys walked up and asked for them as well. They had "The Fixer" video playing on the Target advirtisement rotation and just a handful of Backspacer cds and The Fixer single on vinyl that were not displayed well at all. I was rather disappointed when I noticed that. I wasn't expecting a big display or anything, but I certainly wasn't expecting to find the album shoved off in the corner where it wasn't really visible either. They had none of the Rockband versions of the cd at all. Maybe I am confused by that, but I thought that was supposed to be in Target stores today as well.

Oh, well. I got a shirt and am very happy about it, but just a little disappointed in Target. Of course, I will always think that the red carpet should be rolled out for my favorite band. They are Pearl Jam, after all.

my first guess would be because not all states are the same size...and of course there are targets that vary in size as well...and perhaps the spread of stores was based on known fanbase.

it's also a limited edition item, meaning it's not going to be available everywhere. if it was, that would defeat the purpose of scarcity.

and you can get it online if it wasn't available near you...and i suggest buying one size larger than you normally wear.

good luck.

so much for that old proverb " You can get anything in NYC "

This shirt was nowhere even remotely close to my area.

I did , however , pick up the Target version of Backspacer.

I like the brain window which was not on the 10C edition,
and of course the downloads .

luck locating tshirts in target?
