Never thought it would be sold out here lol. Only had a couple black/white pieces in my size. Everything else was large or extra large. Ended up getting the ballet flats in kids size since I wear a womens size 4. I love the colors on them better than the womans. At least I was able to get something & I know I will get alot of wear out of them.

So, I've literally have been driving all day and went to 6 different targets and they ALL sold out. According to practically everyone, people were there since 8 and it all just was too hectic. I'm so pissed because here I am thinking "oh, it's Target, not H&M. I'll be fine once I get out of school" but I so underestimated the power of this.
Btw, I talked to a couple of associates and some told me that there's more coming back by Thursday while others have told me that although there's merchandise coming in on Thursday, they can't confirm what exactly is arriving. It could either be the usual crap they sell, or maybe more Missoni, so who knows.
Btw, I'm surprised by the people shopping for this. As I'm leaving one of the Targets I visited today, I overheard some spanish speaking woman asking her husband where the Missoni items are at. I swear, this woman looked like she had NO CLUE whatsoever about fashion. I mean, it's crazy just what kind of people these things attract! Another woman, with gray hair, was at another Target asking for the same thing. She had some nasty jeans and gray hair. Like seriously?

^I agree. I also saw women who did not look like they had a clue about fashion. They were dressed in sweats and Crocs (shoes) yet piling Missoni items in their carts. It didn't matter what size or style. If it were Missoni, in it goes...
What's ironic is that the intention of designer collaborations with Target (or H&M, etc) is to make affordable fashion to the masses. Unfortunately, with the hoarders and ridiculous markups on ebay, it defeats the original purpose.

so I finally get into Target.com, proceed to order...sold out/on back order. why do they do that? Don't let me drop it into my cart, giving me false hope, only to tell me I can't proceed.

i went on at exactly 6am and was able to purchase many items. I got the throw in two different color combos, the multicolor zigzag cardigan sweater, the rainboots, the rectangle kit, the black/white cardigan sweater, the black pleated maxi skirt, the train case, the sweater coat, a bikini top, the cereal bowls, serving tray, oblong pillow, hat, tumblers, candle, and espresso set. my mom was also able to get me the bath towels and a small rug.. these were all online purchases so we will see what i end up keeping and what i end up returning.. there was so much else i wanted but i could spend any more money!!! i really wanted the luggage but afraid of the lead... oh well..

Again, wow...I don't think I'll be able to believe that I was able to order my dresses until they're actually in my hands.

Well I got on very early when it first launched on the site, got the throw I wanted, checked out. Done. And got an e-mail this morning to tell me it's delayed and it wont even be shipped until the end of the month despite initially being told it would ship by the end of this week? So frustrating. I ordered it at the very start so the stock was very much there then.

It puzzles my mind how Target can spend so ridiculously much on advertising this collection and yet they seem completely overwhelmed by its popularity. That just shouldn't happen. The website being down a whole day (and it still doesn't work properly for me now), things selling out way too quickly because of eBay hoarders, not immediately shipping the items.
By now I'm so frustrated by this that I'm just going to wait a few days for things to hopefully get re-stocked and if they don't I guess I'd rather save the money and get some real Missoni instead.

now i am nervous about my purchases.. hope i dont get emails saying they wont be here until three months from now!!!
^^i'm dreading the same... i ended up placing a big order because i ordered two of every piece of clothing i put in my cart (one small one medium) because i had no idea what the sizing was like
i really hope i don't get an email saying sorry we don't actually have any of this stuff
i absolutely REFUSE to buy any of this sh** for inflated prices on ebay
just the thought of it makes me furious and i would rather go without
*i'm the same way with concert tickets that get sold out in 5 seconds and then show up on stubhub or wherever else for 5x their value. i HATE it

Quite a few people on the Target Facebook page are claiming they have now received e-mails cancelling their orders due to 'high demand' and also some are seeing the note to 're-order' their orders in their online accounts. I'm hoping my e-mail telling me my order is delayed means I'm still getting it. 
Secretly I think every retailers wants that to happen. i.e. to be overwhelmed by demand.
i went to one target near my apartment and they were nearly sold out of everything....it seems as though the store had restocked after the hoarders and resellers left however.
a middle aged woman was asking a salesperson where all the stuff went and the salesperson said it was "real nasty" and that a group of people buying all the items were from "out of state" and they were waiting outside before the store opened at 7 am.
i tried on the rose babydoll chemise for sleeping for 30$. the cup size didnt fit me properly so i put it back. my store also had the rainboots in my size but i already have rubber boots so i put them back. the store had bedding but i like bedding with duvet covers that can be removed and washed on their own....i looked at a few canisters but wasnt impressed.
i think i'm going to wait until the sleeveless zigzag dress is on ebay for under retail. it may take a few months but i'll be patient - because thats the one item i really wanted.

My store had most of the clothing and accessories left (nothing was completely out but a few sizes were out) but not the bedding that I wanted, ughh. I wish I would have grabbed a suitcase (was on the fence about it) since they're now completely sold out. I have to say I am not as disappointed by the quality of the clothing as I thought it'd be, it seems pretty decent (for the things I looked at anyway), especially at the pricepoint. I bought an umbrella for someone else, and now regret not buying two since they're so cute but of course sold out now. I also thought the bobby pins were adorable, as well as the girls clothing, (aww!) I wish I had a niece or something. . . too cute. I'm going back today or tomorrow to see if they still have the mugs.

Christ, one of the $39 throws just sold for $380 on E-bay.
just checked ebay...
25,437 results found for target missoni
and that doesnt include the people that ordered many things on target.com to re-sell that havent received their packages yet or the people that just included "missoni" not "target" on their ebay listing.
i think a lot of these people will be returning stuff on Saturday or next saturday..

I got an email this morning saying that my order won't be shipped until the 26th now. At least they're not on backorder, but I had BETTER get those dresses before the 29th because I really wanted to wear them that weekend.

I just checked out the prices on ebay and some stuff are starting at 100 or more. Shoppers definitely saw the opportunity to cash in. I really no had plan to buy this line hot off the presses. I was hoping they I'll be able to find something on discount or clearance and now it seems like wishful thinking. For curiosity purposes when the site was back and running again I checked for local targets within 16 miles and practically all were sold out of the dress I liked.
