OT.....Anyone in USA have a target store nearby?

Post by nachosmiley »

Hi all....the reason I ask is that my little girl is absolutely mad about the National Geographic Animal Jam website. On this site the kids play as different animals, now recently they released a snow leopard which unfortunately is only available if you buy a membership card with the snow leopard on it and guess what......they are only selling them in Target stores in America. My little one is desperate for a snow leopard....it was even the first thing she asked Santa for! I have asked Nat geo directly if they would consider releasing it in the UK but they just said no :( I have looked on EBay to see if anyone is selling them on there but to no avail.

So if there is anyone on here who would be willing to look for one for me I would be eternally grateful...I could transfer the cash via PayPal to anyone if they find one...basically an instant cash transfer so you wouldn't be out of pocket......please help me crossstitch forum...you're my only hope!.

Here is a link to a pic of the card. I only need the code off the card...no postage necessary.

Thanks everyone

If everybody else can't find it, I can also check if the Target nearby has it.

I have to go to target tomorrow so I'll check here before I go. Can we trade for hand dyed fabrics? You guys over the pond seem to be able to get it super cheap compared to us but we get the better floss prices so I guess it evens out.

Oh, I wish I'd known. I was just at Target yesterday. If no one else finds one before then I'll look at mine the next time I go, but that won't be until after the new year (Target's not that close to the house, but it's down the street from my daughter's school and she's on break until after new year).

Oh wow! I feel so humbled that so many of you are willing to help me out! My husband is in awe of how nice everyone on here is (he just doesn't know how stitchers minds work...even though he is married to one!) :wub:

It would make my little ones Christmas if I could get her a code....even if I can't get it for the day....I could make up some magical tale about it being dropped down the chimney one night because it got stuck in Santas pocket :lol: !

I don't know why I didn't think to ask on here before......I had been wracking my brain, emailing the company and trawling the net for one then I just had a :idea: moment last night!

:x: that someone gets one for me....I don't mind sending stash instead if that would be preferable.

Thanks again everyone!

I'm just heading out to my target so I will let you know if its there. just took a pic of the card so that I will remember. Looks like if you get more than one it will just extend her membership so its not a real waste. keep :x: that one of our targets has it.

I'm just glad that they still had some. That was one busy electronics department today. The employee I asked knew exactly where to find it so I'm thinking they must be pretty popular. I just happened to be the first forum member to find it. Had to get out to the grocery to get some catfish and shrimp, as we are planning to make my husband's fish stew recipe for Christmas Eve. He made it with fish he had caught, but the only place I catch fish is at the fish counter (where they have already been fileted).

I do agree that this forum has by far the most generous members ever, having been the recipient far more often than being the giver (what is the opposite of recipient?) so I am always glad to be able to help when I can.

I am so glad someone found it for you. By the time I got to Target yesterday, I had a throbbing headache and the crowds were awful. I couldn't find anything I was looking for.
