Anyone know why Target has discontinued Firefly? They had the DVDs at the store but then after Christmas I went to get a copy (since I didn't get one as a present) and they told me they had been discontinued and would not be getting any more. This was the 26th I mean the DVD came out just 17 days earlier. Target does own Amazon though so i thought maybe they were selling them only through there.
Amazon is a publicly traded company. Target does not own them. Target is owned by Dayton Hudson, though. As it says on Target's wesite:

A good sign if you couldn't find any, they had about 15 copies on the shelve when I bought mine.
Now, we need to encourage them to reorder...
Already sent two new fans looking for theirs.

Circuit City and Best Buy had them. But I don't think anyone understood me. According to the people at Target who looked it up in the book Target IS NOT SELLING THEM ANYMORE. They will not order more. They did have some, but those are gone (I assume sold) but they have discontinued it and will not be ordering others. Thats what the people at the store told me. I then checked Circuit City where i found a copy and a friend found them at Best Buy. The trouble with Amazon is the long wait. And even a day or two is too long a wait for Firefly.

Got mine at the downtown A&B in Calgary. They brought in 15 copies to start with.

I'm really glad you got your copy. I understand that you didn't mean for this to be a "where do I get my DVD" thread. It's a shame that Target will not carry the Firefly DVD anymore. I guess they don't see the potential in it that we do. I don't believe that Target owns Amazon but they are clearly business partners since Amazon runs the Target website.

Hey Target,

If I had actually ever shopped in a Target in my life, I'd stop.

Target does not own Amazon. Target has an agreement to work hand-in-hand online. Target Corporation owns Target Stores, Marshall Field's and Mervyn's (and a small handful of catalogs). They do not own Amazon.
If you wish to have Firefly back in the Target store, ask the Team Leader in the DVD area to order it for you.

Dayton Hudson Corporation changed their name to Target Corporation in January 2000. Soon after that, the decision to change the name of Dayton's stores to Marshall Field's was made.
*sigh* I miss Daytons.
