At my local store they were in the game case near the consoles. There were 12 bottles and they were limited to 1 per customer. They were sold out about 30 seconds after the doors opened.

I can't believe how fast this soda sold out. Hopefully they bring some more back since they realize the demand.

Most hyped game for months lets make 12 bottles per store!
Good job Jones/Bethesda for understanding customer demand.

Yeah, I forgot all about this until I read this thread. Just snuck out of work for a bit and they sold out of their 12 within an hour of opening.

3/5 of the targets in my city didn't even get them in stock and the other 2 only got 1 case (12 bottles) and one guy bought the entire case eat one of the stores.
Most reports of stores that had them also only got 1 case (12 bottles) with no limit. Sounds like a complete fucking shit show i would rather spend a few more bucks and get a nice replica online without the terrible jones soda stamp on it.

How the hell did they thought selling only 12 bottles was a good idea?
I'm at work now, but I might as well not even try to check out my nearest Target during my break.

Completely agree.
So I got one cause I got there when Target opened and there already was a line. They limited us all to one bottle but said we could get back in line after everyone had a chance at one if we wanted another. A few guys worked there so when I went back in line I asked if I had a chance at a second and one said no so decided not to wait. One lady was annoyed at the one bottle rule cause she was buying it as a christmas present for her two daughters' boyfriends.
On the good news, the manager there said they should be getting more as it is exclusive to Target but not an exclusive item (she said it's marked as an active item).
So, sounds like if you missed out just keep checking Target. That's what I am going to do cause I'd like to have one to drink while I play the game
.
Probably didn't get their shipment in until then. Apparently the Target near where I work (guess I'm glad I didn't go there) hadn't gotten theirs in and probably would get it in today's shipment.

I see pretty nice Nuka Cola's on ebay for $10.
Well they better sell them soon cause if the target I went to is correct, people will be able to find more at Target once they get another shipment in.

For some reason I thought it would be six packs, and I thought it would be more available than it was.
Was going to get some after work, but since it's meant to be a collector's thing it's already sold out in town. Meh.
For the record, I love Jones soda but the Berry Lemonade flavor is my least favorite.

It's cheaper to make limited supply and rabid collector fervor serves them more as advertisement / people talking about the game than the $1 or whatever per bottle they'd make on flooding stores with them. They are also guaranteed to sell every single bottle they produce. They're collector's items. They're limited. It's how that works.
It's ultimately on Target for not giving a shit about the limit. Some stores have limit 1, some have limit 2. Some don't even realize what it's for and sell the entire case to one guy.
I'd take that with a grain of salt until you read an actual announcement. That sounds like a real "yeah sure I'll check the back room for you" retail grunt line to me.
Once again, the target I went to she said they should be getting more as they are tagged an active item in their system.

Everywhere sold out near me. Damn it

It's a promotional rebranding of Berry Blue (or whatever). That they received extremely limited supply of. They're not going to exist in perpetuity (outside of Jones' website), and just because it's listed as "active" doesn't mean they can just order as many cases as they want. It probably has the same UPC as Berry Blue, even.
Retail workers will say a lot of things / vomit whatever at an upset customer to get them to leave.
Everywhere in the Boston area sold out. If anybody could get 1 bottle and ship it over, it would be greatly appreciated! Was told by 2 stores they are getting shipments in on Thursday, so I'm not sure if all Targets will get more.
Each Target got about 12-15 bottles, it's the most dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Every store is sold out around me. My local store said they sold out minutes after opening.
I went to the store 40min after opening and they had about 10-12. I got 3. 1 for my brother when he gets back from college, 1 that I already drank and 1 for my friend coming back from college since he can't even pick up fallout 4 yet or play it from being busy. Not that good of a taste. I'm surprised these are selling out, even though I guess I shouldn't be.
Damn, well thanks for saving me the drive.

Well, shit. That means the two Targets near me probably don't have any.
Except she wasn't trying to get anyone to leave. This wasn't like people were hounding her about it and no one was acting upset (except one mom who was just trying to buy a gift for a few people and was upset at the one per customer. And she wasn't venting to the manager but to the other people in line). People were being pretty civilized at the store I went to (probably because they were handling it well).
I work retail. I can usually tell the "I just am telling you this cause I don't know and it will make you stop hounding me" attitude.
I mean I'm not saying she couldn't be wrong, but I don't think she was just trying to BS anyone either or just get them to go away/stop asking me questions i really don't know. She stated it very matter of factly (and was very aware of what hte product was cause before she opened she made sure to let everyone know it was 1 per person, no running or you are getting kicked out, and had the bottles behind the counter so that they regulated how many you got. She was quite aware of the situation).

If I'm remembering correctly, Jones is a vendor item. Target doesn't order it, a representative from Jones' distribution partner does. Like Coke / Pepsi. If that's the case, she has absolutely zero idea of if they're getting more, and is unable to influence ordering any more than begging the rep.

The first store I went to said they sold out in 5 minutes but they weren't limited to one per person. The second one I went to had one left and they were being limited. Glad I could get one...I don't even drink soda, so this is the first one I have bought in years lol
This guys right. I worked at target for 5 years. BTW any random sales floor person isnt going to know when they get more stock in. Unless it was a GSA that told you.
