Then the manager had the nerve to bring the sales paper to me and tried to show me that the cds come out Tuesday. I told him to check his computer and it will clearly say teh cds are for sale today. He didn't and I started to get mad, but It's the Lord's day so I just left. I wanted to go back and show him I had the cd, but I didn't have the time. It's such piss poor management. Write them. You seem like a peaceful person, but this guy is doing such a bad job that he is probably hurting that individual Target (and I like Target even though I work at a similar store right across the street....no, not Wal-Mart). What a moron. He knows something like CDs come out on Tuesday but EVERY other store was made aware that this one was coming out 3/29 (even said it in the commercial, in the ads online and it's only heavily implied by the store ad). The reason for exclusives is not to get people just to buy the CD but to get them to buy other stuff....doesn't always work (I wasn't in a shopping mood that early in the morning) and his not allowing you get to the album makes you want to avoid that store! You should at least get a free gift card that meets or exceeds the price of the CD...(in which case you can buy another copy at the store down the street). And be detailed, especially about what store it was, what store you got it at and time wasted. I almost wish it would have happened to me cause I totally would have wrote, banned that Target, etc. You're right. I'm about to write them now. Thanks. | |

There were about 12-15 people waiting outside this morning around 7:30 AM for the doors to open to buy the new Prince set. Cool! Here's a few display photos from Target in Dallas. Looks like the display at the Target I went to in Cincinnati. Anyway, I got the albums. I went there at 9:45am, and I was probably the first Prince fan there (the display was really stocked.) There weren't hordes of Prince fans here, though...come to think of it, I was only one of 10 people in the store. | |

The Target in Union, NJ opened at 8:00 am, but I stopped at Stop and Shop 1st to get a muffin.
I got there around 8:15, and I think there were only 5 of us in the store. I'm sure I was the only one there to buy Prince. I walked all the way to the back of the store and picked up a copy of the CD (same display, looks like), then when I got to the front, they had one set up right in the front! So I came home, changed for church, started this thread and left. Just got home... glad U guys have been able to get yours! "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing.

I went in my Target in Plantation, FL around 2pm and it looked like I was the first one to grab a CD.
But of course it's impossible to go in Target for one thing -- I came back with a cast iron skillet, two shirts, popcorn, and an umbrella too. Kinda strange, kinda awesome.

It's strange that all of these experiences are different. I figured it would be mandatory have a display (and why not put it up...the guy refusing to sell it is just a case of a terrible manager that doesn't know what he is doing). Mine had two different racks (one at the checkout and one in the media section). I didn't notice a display above but did see the flower on the floor of both. It's not a big Target either and Chesterfield isn't exactly Prince country | |

Nice! The Target by me had the second display in your picture stuck on the floor, right in front of the LotusFlow3r display, which was up front by the cash registers. Made it pretty hard to miss, but I was glad. It saved me from walking all around the store. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

SPYZFAN1 said: I just got back too. The display is cool. I almost had to look twice because it looked like the cover only held 1 CD.
Me too. The CD is so darn thin, I thought to myself, "There's no way there's 3 CDs in there." But there was. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

musicman said: I had to go to 3 Targets to get mine here in Atlanta. One of them had the display. But what made me mad, was the manager at the Perimeter Target tried to dispute me up and down that the cd can't be sold to mew until TUesday.
This young guy rang up the cd and it wasn't blocked from the system to be sold. I told the two of them was an exclusive. THe young guy was rady to sell it to me but the manager wouldn't let him. I wans't gonna stress on a Sunday morning. I just told them "ok, but people will be coming in to find the cd." I went to the Traget down the street and they had it. Damn! Sorry to hear that you had so much trouble buying this CD. You would think that people who work at Target would know that Prince's CDs were to be sold, starting today. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I know. I miss not having the credit or lyrics right there on the CD. But, I guess Prince wants us to join lotusflow3r to get that info. I am a mamber of that website. I need to print the lyrics off. I can't listen to a Prince CD without the lyrics to sing along to. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

TELL me about it...heres my story (Bronx, NY) It took me like an hour to get there because its so out of my way: i had to take a train downtown and gett off, take a diif one uptown...getting to the store, it took me a while to find the music section. Getting there, i found it instantly, paid for it. i was so excited, i actually opened it in the store. (i was disappointed because i expected at least a booklet...prince must b getting cheap), took me an hour getting back home. in all, cost me 17 bucks (12.98 + $4 going there nd back home) Now im trying to decide should i rip it on my comp and delete the digital version or just do C&C? its kinda hard, seeing as how they both segue from BOOM and about boom on lotus.com: im sure its a typo...i first joined, it said $ was 54sec [Edited 3/29/09 13:12pm] How will we fill our empty room?

9:00am strolled in to the Target 5 minutes from my house , scooped up the CDs, a copy of Twilight, laundry detergent, video tapes for our video camera and chorizzo.In and out in 10 minutes. There really isn't a big Prince fan base here in Denver. Denverites suck. Peace. Love. Prince | |

I threw my camera in my purse and headed off to Target this afternoon. I saw the display, grabbed my camera and realized I forgot to put the battery in it.
I listened to MPLsound on the way home and I'm listening to it now. I want a B-O-X of chocolates every day!!! Shake it til ya make it | |

Here's my story:
I live in the UK. We don't have Target, and no one knows this album is out. Seriously, my friends are muso's and love Prince's stuff... they have no idea this album even exists. Come on Prince, spread the love. | |
