LOTUSFLOW3R DISPLAY FROM TARGET I just got back from meeting a woman from Target and getting the big Lotusflow3r shaped cardboard display and the two different smaller signs that were on the CD rack. I had inquired about what they do with the signs back when I purchased the CD the day after it came out. ( The day it came out I was still recovering from the 3 shows) The lady was nice enough to take my number and boy was I surprised when she called a couple of days ago asking if I still wanted it. She said the store policy changed and she was not actually supposed to give it away, but she would because she already told me she would. The closest store to me had told me from day one that they can't give the displays away, so I tried a different store. I tried to slip her a twenty but she would not take it. I think I am just going to get her a gift card from Starbucks to show my appreciation and leave it on her truck. I think I must have thanked her 10 times between the phone calls and when I met her to get the displays. Oh, and they are in great shape. Anybody else lucky enough to get these displays?

I got one of the Target displays over a month ago too. I had asked at several Targets around the Dallas area but kept getting told that they would be throwing away the displays once they were done and could not give them away. I am huge into recycling so throwing away cardboard displays instead of passing them along didn't make much sense to me. Maybe they did put them into a recycle bin. Anyway, my friend has a neighbor that works for Target so he asked him for me. The next day I got my display in perfect shape. I did offer to pay a little something but the person refused. So, I got him a thank you card with a meal gift certificate to show my appreciation. I bet a few of the displays will show up on ebay soon. Mine is a permanent part of my Prince collection now. | |

Sorry you did not get one, I was totally surprised when she called since I had not talked to her since that day in March. Hopefully you will be able to get one somewhere. Peace. | |
