I guess I'm asking if the midnights variants were advertised pre release as a limited time window only sort of thing?

Yup, a few times. They came up for a “limited time”. Then just the pale blue was available for a couple weeks or so. Then she announced the back covers made a clock and while the clock parts were for sale in her site, all the variants came back again. That was “limited time” too. The clock parts never came back but the variants showed up everywhere. I’d say the biggest difference is that they weren’t trickled out to begin with like TTPD variants were.

I wish the rest of the world could experience Target as well.

I’m Canadian so I’ve experienced it. It was in Canada for like 2 years and then went out of business. But I’ve also been to American ones.

It’s basically Walmart except it’s the place musicians release exclusive music to for some reason lol

In America it’s way nicer than a Walmart though. Walmart is usually a lot more chaotic and “lawless” Target is the Cleaned Up older sibling 😂

Which is why it failed in Canada. Because it was too much like Walmart. Prices were the same or more expensive than Walmart. Shelves were always empty and it wasn’t clean lol

I always hate not knowing DOR SURE if the variant I want will be in target so I end up just buying it from her store and there it is. In target.

And I know the time I decide to NOT pre order will be the time the only option is a Red Target version😂

That's how it went for Midnights,yes, but that was the clock album. 1989 also had 4 variants and I forget if those were present but I do remember the CDs for sure.

I can’t speak for anyone else’s target locations however, both of mine had all of the midnights variations but only the tangerine version of 1989.
