I went to Target last night and saw a group of about 20 with matching clothes, it looked like they were giving them the company tour because they walked through electronics and then to the back where they keep the merchandise. They all looked

*UPDATE* Hey guys I just wanted to give a quick update, maybe it might help someone out. I went to a different Target store last night to the "Guest Service" desk and told them I wanted to check inventory on (DPCI: 008-09-0740) the lady typed the number in, then she then called another girl over they both stared at the monitor for a little bit and one of the girls pointed at the monitor, (I thought she was going to say I could not get it until Friday) but much to my surprise she said they had 8 in stock. I asked if I could get one, but she said that I had to go to the electronics dept and tell them to bring one out. So I went there and handed the DPCI # to the guy working and asked him if he could bring it out, he typed the number in his portable computer and said it came up as not in stock. I told him that I had just talked to Guest Services and that there were 8 in stock, so he called the back with his walkie-talkie and gave them the number and sure enough they brought it out. The weirdest thing was that he asked me “just one?” like he was surprised I was only getting one. Anyway, I paid the $550 plus tax and they even helped me carry out to my car. Now that’s what I call customer service! So on Friday I will stop by Target after the crowd is gone and I’ll just get the price adjusted. So even if you guys were told “no” by one store it might still be possible to go to a different store and get the westy. I think the thing that helped me was that I went to guest services and confirmed that the item was in inventory, that way if the electronics dept says they don’t know if the item is in stock you can tell them that guest services confirmed it is. I guess it just depends on your local Target store, anyway good luck and Happy Thanksgiving!

Kelram, From what I've read the thicker the table top the more consistent/truer bounce, so tournament tables use 1" tops. You can get the following 3/4" tables for less than $300 dollars during black friday. Dick’s Stiga ST3000 Features: • Model Number: T8730 • Playback positions allows for single player use • Table Thickness: 0.75 inches • Table Color: Blue • Wheel Type: 3 inch Ball Bearing Casters • Number of Wheels: 4 • Style of Legs: 2 inch Square Self-Opening Steel Legs • Number of Table Top Sections: Two • Apron Size: 2 inches • Net Included • Quickplay patented design - From box to play in 10 minutes • 3/4-in competition blue top with treated underside to prevent warping • 3 inch ball bearing mag casters with rubber wheels • Corner protection pads prevent snags • Regulation style edgebanding and striping http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3948425 249.98 during black Friday. http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/black-friday-16156-ST3000CompetitionTableTennisTable.html Sports Authority Ping Pong Ultra, Features: • WideSpan technology increases table stability • QuickPlay® chassis design allows quick and easy set-up • 3/4" tournament blue top • Silk-screened striping • 2" steel apron • 1.75" round steel, self-opening legs • Steel chassis with oversized steel side panel • Wood cross-brace support • 3" Mag-Wheel • Ball-bearing casters with locks • Corner protection pads • Complete net and post set-up • Folds into compact storage and playback positions http://www.sportsauthority.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3812578&kw=3812578&sr=1&origkw=3812578 Black friday ad (link below) says 189.99 but it shows a different table but references product id 3812578 which is the same as link above. http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/black-friday-16562-PingPongUltraTableTennisTable.html Both the Dick's and TSA tables are 3/4" blue tops with 2" rails, and nets included, but the Dick's table has square legs and the TSA has round. I have personally seen the ST3000 from Dick's and it's a nice table. I would recommend that you stop by either Dick's or TSA to look if they have the tables set up, so you can see which one you like. The reviews say it's a heavy table so if you're going to pick either one of them up, you might want to take some helpers for loading and unloading it. Best of luck. :)

Well there goes that idea, I wanted to get this online since my store cant sell me the westy 40" until saturday. I'm hoping they took the TV off temporarily and will offer it again closer to BF. BTW does anyone know if there's free shipping on this item? or if they offer ship to store. Sorry I'm a noob with out a clue. Thanks.

I went to target last night to see if they had the 40" westy, as I was walking by the electronics dept, I saw a lady come out the back where they keep the merchandise and asked her if she had that item (DPCI: 008-09-0740) in stock. She looked it up in her little portable thingamabobber and said that number did not come up, so she asked me what it was and I told her it was a 40" Westinghouse TV. She did a search again and said the only thing that came up was a 32" and a 42" not the 40" so I told her thanks but being the hardheaded person that I am I went to the electronics service desk and asked if they had it in stock again. This lady typed it in her computer and gave me a look and said where did you get this #? I told her a friend gave it to me, she said those will not be available until the sale, and I said but you have them in stock? she said that even if they were in stock they could not sell them to me, until that day. I guess I will try to get it online... cause I ain't camping outside target overnight!

The first time I saw the one where she was doing situps on the red ball outside of target and running in high heels I almost peed myself...
