So true!!! I'm in the NW burbs and these shelves are picked clean! lol! I would love to find a store that has some decent returns but I think most folks out here are keeping what they bought! I did okay so I can't complain too much! I still desire a throw but I can't bring myself to spend $ on ebay! I figure I'd save up and get a Missoni throw from their home line if I never score one in Target!:smile1:

OK I broke down and wore my first MFT item - B&W Zig Zag Tee. It was so so comfy... highly recommend! Also snagged a shirt the other day that I thought was ugh, but looked fine on. 100% polyester - I prefer silk, but for $10.06 clearance - whose to argue? Even came with an extra button (3 button cuff)!

Now I match my bedspread LOL! :p

I love that b/w T-shirt. I finally got to see one in person but it was too big on me. I ordered one on launch day and am still waiting for it. Congrats on the blouse too, great price.

I think I may be getting a little crazy with this collection. I found a duvet set that I'm not sure I'm keeping. But I have visions of dressing to match the duvet with the matching mug in hand , etc. lol.;)

I don't live in a shady neighborhood, but seriously, the Missoni dishonesty is getting a bit out of control. :mad: So, I was excited because I found the colore file folders (yes, I got excited because I have an open file system that I use for mailing supplies...different sized envelopes, stamps, etc), and I thought instead of using boring file folders, the Missoni ones would jazz the area up. :cool:

Um. The file folders come in a pk of 6. There were 5 in there! :faint: Jesus, I hope the Target people don't think I'm the one who snagged that 1 file folder out of the package when I return it tomorrow! First the luggage contents turn up missing, and now someone just decides to nab a file folder out of the package. :cursing:

I have found this for bedding items in my area. I searched everwhere for my cancelled bedding order (that I had ordered for a relative). Finally, one day I found one at the returns desk. It had been opened so I had to wait for a manager to inspect it before I could buy it. When the manager did that, we discovered the two shams were missing. I bought it anyway, because I haven't seen any around. I figured if I found a complete set, I would return that one (or more likely keep it for myself since it matches my throw ;)).

Today a relative who lives about an hour away called me because he had seen the set at a Target near him. When he checked for the shams, they were missing in that set too!

I don't know if ebay resellers are taking them (if they sell it's 100% profit if they didn't pay for them) or if people who want an extra set are stealing them but it's ridiculous!

If anyone is buying a bedding return, be sure to check for the shams before your buy.

Went to Target during lunch. It was pretty depressing. Looks like they have mostly condensed everything to one teeny section of the main accessories rack. They had a couple of the long scarves, 1 gold infinity, black and white cardigan, and a couple of camis. In the lingerie they did have a pair of the sleep pants but they were way too big. I really want them in a medium!! I have the shorts and they are so soft. They also had a couple of vases and shoes but that was about it. It just makes me so mad how this got out of hand. None of the other collections have in the past and I didn't think many people here knew what Missoni was.

In my area that would be considered a huge amount of inventory at one store! LOL. I would have grabbed the infinity scarf and the cardigan.

I have been successful at finding some items but it's taken me a lot of time and several trips to various Targets. I've found one item here one day, one item there the next. I think some of the returns had to be from ebay resellers because it seems there are usually three or four of one item in the store at one time. Once there were four shower curtains returned one day, the next day there were three note cubes (I had been looking for those, so this was a "jackpot" day for me-lol).

I still have yet to see any candles, any journals or folders, any of the scarves, any socks or any platters/plates in stores. I've seen three bedding sets. And the most women's clothing I've seen in one place was four items. If I hadn't received some (albeit very little) of my online orders, I would not have seen much of this collab at all.

NYC ladies- If you're looking for Missoni, apparently there's some at Atlantic Ave.

When I was there on Tuesday, there wasn't too much. I saw 1 headband, a good amount of flats and heels in the 8-9 range, and 2 pairs of rainboots. I'm thinking of checking it out after my class in the afternoon for clothing, though I'm sure it will be picked over some by that time since Racked posted it.

Hopefully some of you will be able to take advantage of it!

The cardigan was one I returned because it had a hole in it and I already got a gold infinity scarf! I think the other one that is still there has hung around so long because it's mixed in with the other scarves.

I was bad and decided to stop by Target on my way home from work, but I'm glad I did! I was able to get two votive holders, another notepad (the passione one this time), the brown sweater skirt, and the small (or medium?) vase. But, the biggest score was the black and white pouf. It didn't have a tag and when I tried to scan it it would show up as 'item information not available' so at the advice of one of the SA's I took it to guest services. They scanned it a few times and it didn't work for them either, then someone realized that it was an online item and was never supposed to be put out on the floor. I asked the guy if that meant I couldn't buy it, and he said since it wasn't supposed to be there and they won't get any more he could sell it to me for $19. I calmly said I'll take it, but in the inside I felt like that lady in the IKEA commercial that's practically running out of store because she got such a good deal lol. I'm not sure if I'll give it to my mom, my sister or keep it for the house I plan to buy in a year (lol) but I'm definitely keeping it.

I also saw two of the blue puffer coats, the brown leggings/pants, two blue maxi dresses, two black and white dresses, one nightgown, one scented candle, one big vase, two hand towels and the folder.

What store was this?

I got the men's black and white zigzag sweater. I can't decide if I really want to keep it or not?

Can someone post some modeling pics? Maybe that'll give me some inspiration. I tried it with a belt which looked cool, but I'd like to see how people are wearing it.

I think if it wasn't a Missoni I'd definately return it.

The Waukesha, WI store today had the light blue/brown cardi in a M, the space dye cardi in gold in a S, a blue scarf, numerous lingerie pieces (two sleep pants) and children's items. They also had the black cardi with the white stripes, which I bought. And I think I will return my space dye cardi, as I cannot justify keeping it because I just don't like it that much. I got caught up in the Missoni craze and bought it because it was there, not because I loved it. Honestly, my fave piece from the whole line is the glass display plate with the stand. It looks just gorgeous in my kitchen.

ETA: I bought the men's black and white cardi, and I didn't even realize it was a men's style, as it was displayed with the women's items. I just thought it fit really large! :laugh:

Part of me will be happy once the collection is no longer in stores because I'll have so much more free time, but part of me will really miss the thrill of chasing down these items! Did you see anything good today? I can't remember what they were, but I know one or both of those stores were showing limited availability on some things that I wanted.

ETA: The Springfield Mall Target had one wine box (the first time I saw one online or in store, shorts in XL, lots of the wall tiles, one pink platter, a romper, a couple milk crates and the other usual stuff.

On my Missoni mission today - it looks like my Targets are seriously ramping down. Seeing the same things...even one of my favorite (good luck) store usually had all MST items in the front of the store now has relegated that to tucking inside of accessories.

:ninja: I'm on the hunt for a gold spaced dyed infinity, a blue men's striped with the squiggles scarf, a loop pillow (or two) and of course my HG - the espresso cups!
