I didn't realize this was a REALLY limited edition deal. I called a few Target stores in the area way late and, of course, they were all sold out. One Target employee told me that the entire shipment had been purchased by someone prior to it even getting out on the floor!

If interested, read the comments below the article. Some Target employees on the thread seem to be confirming that this was not managed well at all.

The problem is that these companies have no way to stop it. If target or whoever limits employees, they just have the wife/kid/whoever buy it.

All Bethesda could do is sell online and then it becomes a shipping nightmare/costs/laws etc when food/beer is involved.

They know it’s going to be an ebay circus but there’s not a lot they can do really other than not make special products at all. Which sucks for everyone. Or just mass produce for a month to thwart resale and forget ‘collector’ crap.

Whoo~Hoo!

Thank You for posting beaversmom!

That Means Sunset Sarsaparilla is still up for grabs!

Now the Threat of Legal Action forces me to Say that Nuka Cola is a Swell Beverage, but sometimes people just want something different you know?

It’s sleazy behavior by target employees, but the quantum is just repackaged Berry Lemonade from Jones Soda Co. Not worth the markup at $3 bottle.

Oh how cute. There’s a guy sitting outside Rivet city right now dehydrated because no one will bring him a simple bottle of pure water, and YOU are worried about the legal ramifications of a trade war.

My best friend got his copy last night.

We went to a video game store at 11:00pm and he waited in line.

I sat in car watching Trump’s speech from yesterday on my Android phone using the free wifi from the Office Supply store.

We damn near hit a deer on the way home! It was a scary close encounter...whew

I’m no gamer but the graphics are awesome!

It’s a limited edition beverage related to the Fallout series video games and the release of the latest edition, Fallout 4, today. I’m not all hip either. I just know some of this stuff through a friend and my kids. But it would have been a fun collectible related to the popular games for fans. Even if it wasn’t worth as much if they produced more and didn’t let them get all scarfed up by Ebay resellers before the product had a chance to hit the retail floor.

This will explain everything.

Sort Sweet and to the point.

Though Fallout 4 takes place on the East Coast, The Original Games were set on the West Coast.
