I picked up one of these today and didn't realise it was missing the skull charm until I got home. There is a link there where it used to be. Also bought a robot I already had. Whoops! I guess I gotta go back to return them tomorrow. But I really wanted that "found objects" charm. I hope they have more.
I have 4 NRs in my town and only one had the fobs and it had a lot!
That's too bad, if the charms are dumped into bowls like at my outlet, try emptying out the bowl(s) and looking for the missing piece. When I did that - just trying to sort through them - I found separated parts of turnlock fobs and other odds and ends at the bottom of the bowl.
I wonder why Coach decided to sell them to Nordstrom Rack instead of on the FOS and in the outlets? FP Delete fobs usually go very quickly both at the outlets and during the factory online sales and NR must have got them very cheap to be able to sell them so deeply discounted.
Oh well! I am glad that Coach sold them and NR bought them and I am especially glad that @Ravvie99 spotted them so quickly and posted the news on TPF!
I hope NR continues to be a bargain Coach fob vendor in the future!
I thought the Rack gets their inventory exclusively from Nordstrom stores, no? I assumed that these were the unsold items from the retail Nordstroms.... but you never know! I only recall seeing small Coach sections at most Nordstroms I've been to, and I rarely shop Coach online at Nordstrom.com
I remember several years ago (like, 2007), getting a couple of the heavy brass Legacy collection keychains/fobs at the Oakbrook Rack, but other than that never noticed much in the way of fobs! But that means nothing since I'm not always very observant when I'm there.... easily overwhelmed by bargain shopping and crowds, lol 
In any case, I won't ask too many questions! I ended up buying 5 of them between the 3 stores I went to, 1-2 might go back because they were impulse purchases, haha.

I think that a lot of the NR inventory comes from the retail and online stores but sometimes they seem to get in a big load of products that doesn't seem to be overstock. I have seen loads of Coach sunglasses at NR in the past.
I just checked Nordstrom.com and the only coach bag charm/fob they have is the 1941 Elvis fob for $155. It just seems weird that they've gotten in so many FP Delete Coach fobs at the outlets - but like you I am not asking any questions - I'm just buying them up!
Congratulations on your five new fobs, please show us some pictures!
Because a Coach girl would regularly come across an intact T-rex skeleton during her travels. I've traveled a lot and never found one except in a museum. If I found a human skull during my travels, I'd run.
Yes! They're all messed up in bowls and I will try and go through the bins and see if I can find the little skull, that is if I can't find another one the same to exchange it for. I guess that's why the charm fell off
I hope the other stores get some too.
I can see the feather and maybe an animal skull, but 'found objects' like a kid would pick up and put in their pocket while they're wandering around playing? Wait, are kids even allowed to wander around anymore? Back on track, a t-rex, record player and headphones aren't likely to be found items unless you are digging around in an attic somewhere and come across those and one of those old t-Rex puzzles. Definitely never made sense to me.

The most likely thing that this Coach Girl would "pick up during her travels" is another Coach Bag!
Did you find that the prices were consistent with what I reported for the Oakbrook store? The Found Objects fob was $30 in Oakbrook.
True... you never know where things are coming from... A lot of the fobs were in pretty pink/glittery gift boxes at the Lincoln Park store (Christmas/holiday packaging?), so who knows?!
The stores I hit didn't have them in bowls... they were hanging on displays on the big beams (where scarves/jewelry sometimes go), and on smaller jewelry racks, so most were still intact, haha.
Here is a pic of my new fobs....sorry for the bad pic, I just laid them out this morning so I could share here
I wish I saw the emoji with the "lightning eyes" that some showed, but they only had the green one! The ones I'm on the fence about are the navy tassel and the blue feather, since I'm not sure I'll actually use them. Definitely keeping the middle three, they were a steal!!
