And here I thought I could casually go to Target tomorrow and buy this.

Damn. Out of all the shit I expected people to go after I didn't think it would be this. At least it shows there is some widespread demand out there for Fallout 4 stuff.

Kind of like how funko pops with different paint jobs go for ridiculous prices.
Like i said, this entire thing has been an absolute cluster fuck to begin with. None of my stores even got the beanie/trucker hat not that i even wanted them it's just the point they advertise it in their paper ad and don't even carry half of it. I already own a couple nuke cola props that look 1000x better but it would of been nice to of owned some official merch.

I currently have 4 different groots, and 4 different baby groots. Only difference is paint, or very tiny variations lol
Sorry Daym, but dick move...
I think he said that he pre-ordered the 7 he got. I guess that was authorized on the website.

Because Bethesda owes you a dollar every time you do.
People ask for bed socks and panties. How can they judge you? It's not like you're asking for a stuffed teddy.

No hat? Shit my hastings had a huge fleece blanket they were giving away and a big ass box of them when I left. I was one of the last to get the game with no one behind me either. Id rather have a hat than a dumbass blanket so maybe it was the more in demand item.

Every Target store in my district was sold out. (south Jersey). Apparently people were waiting in line before the stores even opened. Sometimes I hate living here, this area is saturated with too many dorks. Haha

A helpful employee told me Thursday. Honestly at this point I'm just meh. She told me they only got one case to begin with, I'm not sure I care enough to wait outside of Target before they open for it. The demand is making me lose interest.

Agreed I like Jones Soda and thought it'd be cool to just grab one on my way home for work to keep for myself. Not going to deal with flippers and lines to get a soda. It is absolutely ridiculous.
Went to Target across from my office during my lunch break.
The girl working the game section said one of the other employees bought them all (though the way she said bought makes me think he just took them).
People suck
What the hell
That'd be enough for me to stop shopping at that store. I could care less about the soda but the fact that an employee is so selfish as to take all of them before they even hit the shelves is messed up. It's just not a good look for customers who actually want to buy from them and then have to deal with that.
Good luck convincing Coke to do that. Jones at least is known for liking to do neat little promotions like this. Coca cola is a lot more concerned with how this might negatively affect their image as they already have a very well known name brand. I really don't see coke having any interest in this.

Thanks for this, but it's actually saying that to the two stores I went to still have them in stock, so it's probably not very accurate.

I tried to use this earlier. It showed that a store I was going to had 0. I got there and they had some
The trick is to ask for it along with another less embarrassing item like condoms.
Found store near me saying they have 4. Called in, and was told they were all gone this morning. Betting some one is hiding them some where.

It's not a vendor item we receive them in our trucks. So far a case per store. Target is really bad at this promotion stuff even lods didn't know about it until I told them about it and where it's supposed to set.

As I expected, many of the targets near me sold out within minutes.
I know majority of those sodas are going overseas.

Are they really going to try to hawk that fleece for $99.99 after people get their free ones?No hat? Shit my hastings had a huge fleece blanket they were giving away and a big ass box of them when I left. I was one of the last to get the game with no one behind me either. Id rather have a hat than a dumbass blanket so maybe it was the more in demand item.
The hat/beanie weren't free, they are like $14.99. The point was the physical sunday ad showed the hat, beanie, mystery minis, drinks etc. with no "limit quantities" and the majority of the stores here didn't get any of this stuff.

Went to Target at lunch. Completely sold out
Not only could I not find any Nuka Cola at any of the 3 (!) Targets in my rather small town, when I went to Best Buy to pick up my preorder, they apparently never got the posters they were advertising as a bonus in and ran out of some kind of Fallout 4 mask before I got there. Instead they gave me a Rise of the Tomb Raider foam pickaxe (?!). At least I got the extra $10 off for my next purchase. Glad I'm moving back to NY in about a week where I can actually find stuff!

It just seems nuts that this item would hit a stock issue. It's a relabeled soda, there's no reason not to produce an excess of them.
What could've been a dumb fun promo item (that really should've just been given away free with the game), is now another Amiibo situation. Just a bunch of hoarders buying up intentionally limited stock, to resell at an insane markup. All while Bethesda gets to feel smug about the popularity of their franchise.
If even a hint of effort went into this promo item, I'd get the frenzy. But this just feels unearned.

I totally forgot this was happening. I swung by my Target at around 1pm to browse potential b2g1 games, but I decided to pass. I didn't see any of the things in stock, nor did I see any empty displays for it. So, are people buying this up to drink it? Or as a cool Fallout collectible thing? Can't say i'm completely surprised that something like this happened.
Stock issues on a relabeled soda, though? C'mon now

Where in store might these be, supposedly mine has 9 in stock
They should be in the video game isle, where they would put doritos, mountain dew or sometimes guides, like they did will fallout 4 today.

I have four of these. I'll be keeping one, and giving two away to friends for Christmas presents. I originally told my brother (who works there) to grab me "four-ish" so I could use them as dumb stocking stuffers. Didn't realize how ridiculously limited they'd be. As for the other one:
I'm giving it to a friend who's doing an Extra Life charity Stream to raffle off.

I searched and didn't see a thread for this. Pretty awesome. Goes on sale November 10th. Apparently its a repackaged Jones Soda flavor called berry lemonade

Berry Lemonade is the shit.

I walked into my Target casually and they said they sold the last bottle to some guy in a fedora.
So yeah, at this point i would be happy to find a discarded bottle somewhere.

I contacted Jones from their website asking if they will continue producing Nuka Cola. Their response:
Thanks for the note and sorry for any issues.
The program was purposely developed by Target to be a very exclusive limited edition program. Jones is very excited by the success of the program, and will be working closely with Target should they decide to expand the program.
We hope to have an update soon!

Sucks, but it was lazy merchandise anyways. The back to the future pepsi that people flipped shit for wasn't accurate looking either.
