Cool looking bike! And I love the show.

I called my Target and was told they're not for sale yet.

Call another target! One had them on the floor already (manager was a dick, wouldn’t sell me one in box) the other Target was super helpful. Their computer did not have a release date so make sure you talk to a “cool” employee in the toy department.

A friend of mine mentioned how bad the "chrome" was....it isn't chrome, it's silver. A silver that looks like aged nickel plating almost.
If you get one and decide to move the light bracket forward, as it you should, make sure you loosen the clamp screws to where the clamp is almost apart and carefully adjust its position and then tighten up the screws. My bars got scratched, they scratch easily. Also, put the stem pad on before moving the bracket and adjust accordingly, the pad will touch the bracket no matter what, but it can be minimized.

Possibly some kid who gets one from target will look for another one...in 40 years. 

I don't know man, I just don't think kids will have the same nostalgia for bikes like we do.  Bikes were all we had as kids...now they have everything. They'll likely be looking for Xbox ones and Gamecubes....Ipods. Hell, I dunno

IDK we are creatures of habit.

There is a reason that E.T. sparks interest, it made you feel a certain way watching it. Kids now who watch Stranger Things and then Pick up the bike may feel that way later as well.
However with so many collectors now a days I feel like you are going to have to hold onto it for 40 years and then find that needle in a hay stack, a grown up that wants to relive his youth.




You are better off taking your $210 and investing it for 30 years, at which time it will be about $800. Just saying...

For sure if I was walking around Target looking for whatever and saw one of these sitting there for $200, I would definitely be stopped in my tracks....

I feel like he would have done a better job and he doesn’t have thumbs!
