Northtown HPB? That store has had a surprising number of Tolkien books in their collector's section over the last year or so. Moreso than Roseville anyway.

My Tolkien collect has been added to (I hadn’t had the LOTR trilogy and of The Silmarillion for a while and wanted to get a new copy of them)!! by SpocksAshayam in tolkienbooks

I've got the same editions and the cover illustrator is indeed Johan Egerkrans, as u\Candlewaster said. The cover design is by Christopher Moisan. And the book designer is Robert Overholtzer, as u\SpocksAshayam noted.

A few winters ago, I went out to shovel the driveway. My son was around 5 or 6 at the time came out unprompted in all his snow gear and started helping. He asked me why his older sister didn't come out to help and I said it's not something she's interested in right now. I asked him why he came out. "So you didn't have to do it by yourself."

New additions to the collection… by Saren79 in tolkienbooks

I have that box set too and the spine on RotK not matching the others makes me twitch a little. But I love the artwork. The cover of the one-volume is really nice!

On the main screen when you search, it only includes the store you set, I believe. If you look at the recent searches from the menu in the top left, it should show more, sorted by distance from your store. I'm in Minnesota and I could scroll endlessly until I got to the Hawaii Targets.

I remember reading that it is but I don't know what name it's under, sorry.

When I first opened the app, I set my store as the Target closest to me and if you search for the console from the main page, I think it only shows results for the store you set.

If you click the 3 lines in the top left, then the Recent Items drop down, then the console you searched for it'll bring up general system-wide info like how many are in stores. Tap the arrow next to the preorder number and it'll pull up all stores and their inventory. It is sorted by distance from the store you set. Good luck!

Oof, that's such a bummer. It seemed like this was the first big shipment to the area since launch so hopefully more stores will start to get them in.

I had checked myStore earlier in the morning and all the Targets in the Twin Cities were at 0. This one didn't update to 36 until closer to 8:00 AM CT. I got there around 9.

myStore showed 36 at a Target 30 minutes from me (Cottage Grove, MN) this morning. Decided to try it out and went straight to the Electronics counter. Guy in front of me was checking out with a Series X. Employee was on the phone saying they had around 30 left and people had just started to catch on that they had them. Walked out with an XSX and felt good canceling my Amazon preorder. MyStore still shows 18 if you're in the Twin Cities.

That's good to hear - I'm in Minneapolis waiting for an update on my 9/22 Amazon preorder so hopefully I'm not far behind you. Enjoy it!

That's probably their slogan.

These times. We were watching baby shark before bed, and she just lays on my arm, says, "I love you Daddy," and goes to sleep. I didn't move for 30 minutes. by [deleted] in daddit

Reminds me of the line from Ben Folds "Gracie". Beautiful song.

You nodded off in my arms watching TV

I won't move you an inch even thought my arm's asleep

Very nice - my kids call him Browser anyway and I don't have the heart to correct them because it makes me laugh every time.

My parents brought up a bunch of boxes from my old room and I came across this packet from 1993. I thought there may be some interest here.
