Someone on reddit said they called customer service and was told that the set would for sure be on sale today. I'm not so sure about that right now.

Someone also said on Reddit that they were available at “select stores” in the Chicago area only. Anybody else hear that?  Don’t know what to believe anymore...

That seems plausible, with Celebration in Chicago.

Yawn

So far this has been a total bust of a day.

We all see what you did there...

Interesting thought, as the announcement on StarWars doesn’t actually state Target.com.

How annoying would that be if it is only available to red card holders in-store and not all stores would have it (hence "limited availability").  lol  I hope that's not the case.  I guess I'll be going to target tomorrow just to check.

We'll be carrying a REDcard exclusive Lego Darth Vader Bust on our Target site. This item will be available on our site when purchasing with a REDcard.

We understand that your mom was interested in the REDcard exclusive Lego Darth Vader Bust and attempted to purchase it in-store. However, this item will only be available on Target’s website when purchasing with a REDcard. We apologize for her disappointment.

and now they don’t have a date?

Thanks for sharing your interest in the Darth Vader Bust! This is only available to REDcard holders online. If you don't already have a REDcard, you can apply online at tgt.biz/js4ln . We don't have a specific date or time to share right now. Please keep checking back.

And perhaps, available at Target without the “Chicago 2019 - Star Wars Celebration” on the box.

If you squint, you can see Lego giving everyone the middle finger:

This should explain it all...feel free to go to sleep for the night.

I was going to sleep peacefully tonight either way.

Well, that nicely explains everything.  Nice find, well done.

Is there any limit?

The link above tells me that supply could exceed demand:

QUOTE

With 600, according to an official LEGO representative, of the exclusive 75227 Darth Vader Bust sets sold to lottery winners today - and even more expected to get snapped up over the peak Friday and Saturday period it's important to remember that this set is not a limited edition exclusive and will be available through other sources. 

UNQUOTE

I've yet to see anything official from LEGO stating the maximum amount made and if it's exclusive to Target. I've got friends in SC ready to pull the trigger, but I need 100% confirmation of exclusivity and production numbers.

“Available Today” - is this normal?

Not sure I believe everything that some blog reporter writes after talking with whichever Lego employee got stuck working a weekend convention.

I am still going to buy my 4 if I can. The listing on the Target app says Limited Quantities and only 1 per Red Card holder. I am hoping that it is like the Brickheadz where they allow multiple different orders.

Just went live....

Just ordered two (separate orders)

We'll see how strict they'll be about the limit.

In case anyone needs it

Check out this item at Target https://www.target.com/p/lego-star-wars-darth-vader-bust-75227/-/A-76157589
