I could tell he had a plan in mind, so I then flat out asked him, "You're going to take them aren't you?"
His response, "Well store policy says they have to be on the shelves for 24 hours, but it doesn't say where on the shelves. HAHA. Those babies are going to be mine. HAHA"
This is one of those instances where we have hyped the figures too much, and the employees are starting to catch on and getting greedy and seeing dollar signs. Just be cautious please.
You're probably talking about me. I met "acting store manager" Captain Nerdo the other day. He had "no idea we even sold GI Joes." So I showed him a pic on my phone so he would know what to look for, and he immediately went into a holier-than-thou "I don't discuss merchandise policy with anyone" and "Maybe I'll just have to put 'em on ebay" crap. So I said "Yeah thanks" and left. I don't hype anything, to me they would be fun to find in a store, but are barely worth 6 bucks to begin with.
Also, since it seems we're all out running around, I think it's funny that we've probably bumped into each other at some point - I've thought about leaving HISSTANK notes in the toy aisles just to see if anyone notices. I picture that collectors look like either Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons or Big Al from Toy Story. So here are 2 pics of me. Sometimes I look like the Joe freak in the first pic, but usually I'm just a "regular everyday normal guy." Say hello some time!
