I posted about this on another forum, because the story is mainly about me not being able to buy TF Animated wave 3, but... Friday night after seeing Hellboy 2, I went to the Midland Wal-Mart. I saw a pallet with four or five cases of TF Animated figures, a case of the TF Universe Robot Heroes, two cases of TF Marvel Crossovers, IJ Mighty Muggs and Titanium figures, some SW stuff for the 26th (Galactic Heroes), and a case of 12" GI Joes. Well, I wanted Oil Slick from the TF: Animated stuff, and wanted to look at the 12" figures to see if they were any better in person. Well, I asked an employee if they could help me with the boxes (worked for wave 9) and they said they'd have to get a manager.
So this guy comes up to help me and immediately says that he can't open them, they have a street date. The ONLY time I've ever been upset at an employee for not helping me, is now... I told him, clearly that the SW stuff was the only stuff that had a street date! All of this was already available through other venues, and that they even had some of it on the shelves already! (They had a case of the TF Universe Robot Heroes up, and they had already put up a case of the TF Crossovers a week prior!) He told me he couldn't do anything, then, because it was "new mod". I pointed at the Robot Heroes and explained to him that they were on the shelf, and the Animated stuff was basically on the shelf also. He said he couldn't do anything. I think this is basically the last time I try to be nice and ask an employee before opening anything... =/
