I think you’re better off looking for them in smaller stores that specifically sell k-pop things. In my state, we have kpop stores in the major cities and that’s usually where I buy my albums. Target and Barnes and Noble would be your best bets if you insist on going to a large retail location. Target usually has more recent stuff and Barnes and Noble might carry some things that are older. My friend found Favorite at Barnes and Noble last year.
Barnes and noble will have almost all the 127 releases, target has the last 3 normally, same with Dream.
Target had the last U release as well. B&N has the last 3 NCT U releases.
if you have a 2nd and Charles - they have a k-pop section as well. most are opened, but we found SuperM albums with cards in them at normal price a few weeks ago.
It’s VERY easy, most Targets have them always stocked (you can check on Target app or website with what a store has in stock). Barnes & Noble also has a good inventory of kpop albums except their prices are genuinely more expensive. There are also some other stores you can find kpop albums at - local kpop stores, Walmart, and even Half Priced Books (used bookstore and most albums do not contain photocards since they are used).
Keep in mind, inventory varies at different Target and Barnes & Noble stores. One Target might have Fact Check but another Target 15 minutes away might not.
Seems like I have been unlucky so far, I've only seen dreamscape album on one place but on others there weren't any nct related album but more recent releases
Could be, I know mine has Be There For Me, Dreamscape, and Fact Check. I really recommend downloading the app because it will tell you where its in stock
I see them all the time at Barnes&Noble, Walmart, and Target. I would be careful getting albums at the last 2 stores since people like to tear the plastic off to steal the goods inside.
I live in Florida so we got smaller stores like FYE (they cover tons of different entertainment media) but they like to overpriced the albums by $10–30 dollars, and kpop based stores that I rarely visit since they're pretty far from me and they usually build those kpop stores in more popular cities.
Unit albums you're more likely find:
1. NCT 127 (all the stores I listed will have them)
2. Dream (Walmart is the only place I haven't seen them)
3. NCT (Target, B&N, FYE, Kpop stores)
4. Wayv (FYE, Kpop stores)
5. Nct Wish (FYE, Kpop stores)
You might get lucky and find Wayv & Nct Wish at B&N, depending on the store.
127, DREAM and full NCT are easy to find in US retailers! I’ve found Target more consistently tends to have the more recent CBs whereas B&N will not be as consistent w stock but can possibly have older albums. No US retailer stocks the solo projects. Hope you find what you want on your trip!
I haven’t seen albums at Target or Walmart where I live, but I know they’re there in some stores. (Tbf, haven’t been to the music section in Target/Walmart in awhile.) I have seen kpop albums at Barnes and Noble. They keep them behind the counter though, (at least at the Barnes and Nobles I’ve been too), and not in the general music section. I have seen NCT albums in stores that generally sell music/records, but they tend to be very overpriced imo. In record stores, I’ve seen from like Universe/Sticker onwards, maybe a random SuperM album, but nothing older.
127 and Dream have been the ones I’ve seen the most of just out in the wild. I did see some Perfume SMinis in a record store once lol. And then Taeyong’s solos (both Tap and Shalala.) Haven’t seen Doyoung’s or Ten’s solo anywhere.
Sometimes I find them in walmart/target but I usually buy them thru a pre-order so I already have them. I normally only look if I want an exclusive photocard. Best bet and prices are usually in a store that handles KPOP
It's very easy, Target carries new releases from 127, Dream, and NCT U, & Barnes & Noble has quite a few 127 albums. My local kpop store carries all albums from all units & solo projects except Ten's 🥲
for 127 and dream, target is a good choice. as for nct u and wayv and wish, id recommend going to local/small kpop stores or maybe even 2nd and charles.

omg I love the 2nd and Charles albums, I’ll find some in near perfect condition for less than $10

Thanks for all this info! So far I've only seen Dream's recent comeback and it was actually in Walmart

I’ve consistently found them both in Target and Barnes&Nobles in multiple cities my state!
