Target's Bonus For Super Mario Bros. Wonder Revealed (US)

Way better than the GameStop bonus.

So is this a preorder bonus or a day 1 in-store purchase bonus? Confused on how Target does these.

@IceClimbersMain The ad specifically says in store only and no rainchecks.

This is actually a pretty cool bonus, though still not incentive enough to support an outdated, archaic format that we should have given up on a decade ago.

I would not plan on getting a preorder bonus from Target. In my experience, they are very sloppy about rolling out these extras. They forget to ship them to my store nearly half the time.

It's cute, but I'm more tempted by the trading cards included with Walmart pre-orders.
Plus most Target stores get seriously shafted when it comes to in-store bonuses.

All SIX new amiibo are already freaking sold out!
XenoBlade 3 two pack
Zelda
Ganondorf
The three splatoon ones!

Amazon, best buy, target all sold out

Walmart doesn't show them

GameStop's website is useless

Nintendo.com doesn't even show them!

“Quantities Limited” means each store will get like 2 and you’ll have to beat out the no-life scalper who shows up 3 hours before the store opens so they can buy both to list them on eBay for $100.

Maybe others have had different experiences, but the Targets in my area literally never have these bonuses at launch. Heck, half the time they don’t even put out games on release day. They’re just tucked in the back somewhere until I ask for it lol.

So yeah, as cool as this bonus may be, I know it’s not worth the stress or headache of dealing with Target. Good luck to anyone who wants this.

@Hints_Whispers 100%. If you walk into a Target expecting to get a bonus, even if you’re the first in line, you’re going to have a bad time. They almost never have what they’re supposed to when they’re supposed to have it. I gave up on them ages ago.

@Spider-Kev Gamestop still has splatoon ones and ganandorf. No big man or princess Zelda.

Edit: Best buy still has Gannon. In general best buy will go up first and sell out. When it does watch gamestop because it'll hit there within next 24 hours unannounced. Best buy also restock a few the times after initial. For example splatoon ones went up about 3 times before selling out each time. I imagine Zelda will refresh so keep checking in

@IceClimbersMain In person. Get there early. A lot of folks here seem to have poor stores but luckily my one is excellent, usually get a few people waiting though.

I’d much rather have the trading cards.

@LadyCharlie it depends on the target tier. There are three. Urban (poor) middle and upper. Mine is the upper tier target - they get so much stuff they give it away even if you dont participate. This has happened now multiple times to me at target. Urban gets very little.

@Sequel
Thanks, just after I posted I found and ordered all except for the XenoBlade 3 ones!
Hit three or four different retailers!

I still need Mythra and Pyra though!

Target is where I picked up Tears of the Kingdom on release day. I didn't pre-order or anything, just came in early and walked out with Tears and a Zelda fanny pack I'll never use, but it was a nice bonus

You should check out the my Nintendo UK one it's sick

"Quantities limited"

Damn you, Donkey Kong!

@Spider-Kev I caved and bought from an Amazon scalper. The good thing about those things is that you can buy an Amazon Gift Card to act as a buffer for your credit card or debit card. And that the Amazon Scalpers aren't as greedy as eBay Scalpers. Or if you don't like that, get a phone with NFC capabilities, and make your own, and get a 3D Printer to make your own figurines. And how come nobody ever made a 3D Printed Crystal Coconut? I want to commission someone to make one to hold one of my Donkey Kong amiibos, be it DK, Diddy or King K. Rool!

Screw Target, I had a very bad experience trying to get their bonus once. It was for the Kirby Star Allies bonus bag. First of all, Target does not take pre-orders, so you have to be there early on release day to get this bonus, I tried to go a week before release day to make a pre-order and ended up wasting my time cause they told me they don't do pre-orders on Target. So on release day, I went early to get the game and then the guy tells me that they already had ran out of the bags, but I was literally at that store like mere minutes after it had open so how the heck did they ran out so quickly?! Then he tells me that they usually get like 6 or 7 of them so they run out quickly because sometimes some of the employees would take one. So i took my chances at a different Target and guess what, the guy in the other Target tells me that the game isn't out yet and I point at the big promo poster next to him and tell him "it comes out today" and then he tells me they haven't gotten the game yet at their store! So then the guy tells me that they might not even get the bags at all and that they rarely ever get those bonuses at their store.

In conclusion, Target SUCKS!!!

Ok, these bonuses are just getting more and more random XD

Neat little bonus. But I think I'm gonna just save $10 on the game by doing the voucher program again and get it digitally along with Mario RPG which I also save $10 on. Since I was gonna get both anyway.

I wonder if the Shadowbox in the photo is actual size compared to the game case.

@FirstEmperor what about the walmart bonus? Just wondering which you think is a better bonus.. Walmarts is a pack of trading cards. They will def have value down the line just as Pokémon had. Just gotta not open the pack or open and get them graded.

@Herbalchunk1242 I gotta say after collecting the Animal Crossing amiibo cards I'm pretty burned out with trading cards so I'll probably go for the shadowbox, but if you're looking for something that'll be valuable someday then the Walmart cards are probably the better choice.

Target pre-order bonuses are a bait and switch scam.

I just want the game. The bonus stuff just ends up in a drawer.

@ATHFjman18 Nah I wouldn't worry about it, I showed up to target on tears of the Kingdom launch day at opening time and they had plenty of stock for everything

@FirstEmperor anything mario seems to turn to gold so I was thinking the cards will be crazy valuable down the line. Who knew when Pokémon cards came out that they'd be as valuable as some are.

I dont have a target or a gamestop near me. I only have walmart lol
