If you missed out on Target's infamous Missoni collection in September, now's your chance for another crack at the famous zigzag designer collection.

Nearly 100 pieces were available online this morning although nearly as many show "out of stock." A few items are on clearance, including a 4-piece sling sectional patio set for $360, regularly $600. Lots of toddler girls clothing, electronics accessories for smartphones and tablets, bedding, pouf ottomans, and mugs are still available. Also avaialble are the hot bikes for $399 in men's and women's styling. The photos don't seem to show the famous Missoni pattern, however.

Nearly all of the women's clothing, dinner plates, trays and accent pillows have sold out.

Target spokesman Lee Henderson said that Target is in the process of filling online orders for the Missoni collection, so additional inventory is being made available. "A limited number of items are expected to become available throughout the next few weeks," he wrote in an email.

Henderson did not indicate if the bugs had been worked out of the site, although I was able to navigate fine this morning.

I was not able to find any Target stores with added Missoni in stock this morning after a chek with several managers. it appears that the remaining stock is online only. One manager said that she does not believe that any additional Missoni will hit the stores from the September collection.
