New Beach Boys Target Exclusive

[SloopJohnnyB]

I just got back from a Target store where I picked up the 45 rpm TWGMTR and a Beach Boys 50 t-shirt. They were packaged in a 7 inch box that had the cover of the TWGMTR single on the box.

Really nice t-shirt. 100% cotton and not the cheap stuff. Good quality. The shirt color is powder blue and the Beach Boys 50 logo has the faded, worn, vintage, been-in-the-washer-and-dryer-too-many-times look. The only size available is listed as L/XL. It's more of an XL size.

The 45 rpm 7 inch vinyl is the same one that was released by Capital last summer. The box is nice and displays well but the small Target 'sticker' in the lower left hand corner of the box is actually part of the box. It can't be removed. I was a little disappointed by that.

If you'd like a nice Beach Boys 50 t-shirt, the TWGMTR 45 vinyl single, and a decent display box check it out. I found this at the end of the isle in the CD section. Other bands are featured with their own box/shirt/record. This is a Target exclusive. Not bad! The price was $19.99.

I can't seem to find a photo of it on line yet. Maybe someone will post it if found.

I gotta have it!

[Bud Shaver]

I may have to bite on this one, too!

[Justin]

And I'm off to Target....

[Wah Wah Wah Ooooo]

I went to Target last night to buy this and was disappointed that they only had the L/XL size....oh well, such is life for a man 6'6'' and 270 lbs.

That's it!

I went to Target yesterday on my lunch break, and they didn't have any of these. Are they really only making them in L/XL, though? That's dumb. I wants me a small!

[CJS]

They didn't have it in my local Target either.  The kid looked at me like I was insane when I asked for a 45..... CJ

I found it in a display at the end of one of the CD sections, on the corner. There were other boxes featuring other bands including Heart, The Beatles, Hall and Oates and others. Once you find this display or section you shouldn't have any problem finding the Beach Boys.

I think these just came out this week. Give it a few days or a week and look again. It looks like a pretty big promotion for target with all of the bands that are included.

Don't ask for the 45. Ask for the box that has a t-shirt and record in it. They can check the store inventory on their computers to see if it's in. Tell them about the other bands that are included. I'm sure these will be offered at all of the Target stores.

I found this at a target in Pittsburgh, PA. It's a big store. There were three copies or boxes that featured TWGMTR. There were three for Hall and Oates, three for Heart and so on. Maybe they have more in stock.

By the way, I'm still seeing the Walmart CD/Zine Pack thing at one or two of the Walmart stores. It seems more had been shipped out after the initial release. I don't know about this Target thing, though but I suspect they'll be available for a while.

Speaking of Target....am I the only one who keeps moving copies of "TWGMTR" to their end cap new releases section to help drum up sales?   

Already bought the 45 back in the summer time...don't need no t-shirt. Target only sells "athletic fit" novelty tees so slobs like myself can't partake in the fun.

Discrimination, plain and simple.

[MarcellaHasDirtyFeet]

As a somewhat short slob, I'm hoping I fit in the Target T. Don't have a working turntable, so I plan on filing away the TWGMTR 45 with the TSS box. For now...

Official release date is today, I went last Sunday and there was a spot on the shelf for it, but it was empty.  They should be on shelves today.

No, but I do this sometimes:

[EgoHanger1966]

If anyone spots one is a size other than L/XL, please let me know. I'm not bothering with anything larger than a Medium....

[Pretty Funky]

If it is the T shirt you want, its here, any size.

Sure, for $19.99 you don't get the record but at least the shirt will fit.

[Pretty Funky]

......and if you are quick. Record for $6.50 plus p&p

Yes I do, all the time

[Mikie]

I just got back from looking for this thing at two different Targets in my area.  Neither store had it and when I asked the store employees, none of them had heard about it or had seen it. All they had was the God Made The Radio CD and the new Greatest Hits release.

Maybe I'll check back later this week.

[joshferrell]

Yeah I've seen it at my target,haven't got it yet but it's there.

[Lonely Summer]

Got mine today. Very pleased. Never did see the 45 in the stores this summer - yep, I'm a brick and mortar guy - so getting this AND the shirt is a real treat. Putting a record on the turntable...a NEW record...always gives me a nice feeling.

No, but I do this sometimes:

Darn, that's why I've never been able to find a copy of Pet Sounds in 40 years of looking…

[MBE]

Too bad it wasn't ready before the album came out but I'm happy about it.

I always see to it that BB cds are properly arranged for maximum visibility in the store.  BW too.  Sometimes they are behind bands beginning with the letters beat so I make sure to remedy that as well

[Margarita]

Nada at the Target at Western/Logan/Elston in Chicago.  The employees lounging by the photo counter said that if they had it, it would be "over there by that Taylor Swift nonsense" (a display of Taylor Swift shirts and other merch to go with her latest CD). 
That's the Target I don't like...I'll try the one closer to home this weekend.
