My sister and I have almost totally given up hope. Our Target still has the fuzzy chihuahua, no on the go cases or Grooviest pets, our Walmart had one Scoop Pug (the rest peacock), and we don't have a Toys R Us.
I know we're missing out on two waves. .x. It's really frustrating.

I keep checking at my target and they still have not gotten anything new....Not even the pug with poo wave yet. I found them at Walmart. Infact the isle at target is bare. I think they might be getting ready to move everything again and are waiting to put out the new stuff.

It's important to remember that the internet makes it seem as though these are suddenly EVERYWHERE, when really, they're just available in a few places. I haven't seen anything at all near me, and probably won't for a few more months. They'll eventually be widespread, but it is very frustrating until you learn not to expect them right away . (This is why I now only pre-order... save myself all the stalking headaches.)

It seems to me that they start showing up on the west coast first and take forever getting to the east coast.

I find Target is an awful place to look for anything but Target exclusives. I almost always find things at Wal-Mart, and occasionally TRU, first.
That's weird that you don't even have the Grooviest yet. I mean... the shipments usually land in CA first then make their way east to us here in Massachusetts. So, we get everything a week or two later. Even WE had Grooviest a month ago.

Target IS awful, it's a fact. You're right, the exclusives are great, but their stock is embarassing!
I know. What happened to the grooviest? Carol, did you find them where you are at? What waves did you find? We live close, we might have to travel. D;
Well, the Punkiest /did/ come two months after release to our Target. :/

Kevin you're truly right, but, my parents don't like to preorder and would, unfortunately, prefer us to wait until they come to our stores.

The grooviest thing at Target had to do with a stock error, I think... They didn't add a new number for them (any of the grooviest or punkiest), so they didn't get put out (they're under the teeniest pets #). This happened with some DC toys around Xmas, too...

The last time I checked Target here in town, they had nothing new. They practically had nothing at all!! That was about a week ago. They didn't have the new Target singles yet either. I might be able to check this week. I did find the ladybug/snail wave at our TRU here in town. They were pretty well stocked with them about a week ago, but I don't know now. Wal-Mart on the West side (by Target) had the new waves (whale and ladybug), but they were already missing quite a few. They didn't have any whale left, no ladybug, I think I took the last of the Polar Bear pair. So they did have them, but not all of them. I went to the newest Wal-mart Supercenter that just opened last Thursday on 6th street right off off I-55/I-72. They didn't have the new waves either. I thought surely a new store would have the newest stock, but they didn't. And I checked the other Wal-Mart Supercenter on the North side of town, and they didn't have the new waves yet either. So TRU was the best store for a change here in Springfield. They even had the Fitness Centers, but I'm not going to spend the money on that. Good luck!! Do you want me to see if I can get any for you the next time I'm shopping? I don't remember if I saw the Grooviest...I'd have to look again.

our target has nothing new but I did get the shopping center(?) w/purple husky and monkey for 1/2 price $15.00. Walmart had both waves yesterday but we took the last of the ladybug and whale. I'm willing to go bk during my lunch hour if anyone wants the others. Not sure what's left but I can check. PM me w/in 2 hrs.

Hey Carol!
I think we'll wait on that for a bit. If you could find the Grooviest and pick those up, we'd be most grateful. ;DD
We traveled to our Walmart and found the two hamsters, the rest are pink kitties. .o.
