Well, it's because she covers the whole Orlando metropolitan area and I've seen her at stores from Waterford Lakes to Casselberry, Oviedo to Ocoee. A friend who works at Target in Clarmont said he has seen her there. I lived, worked and toy hunted in Orlando for several years, until fairly recently when the company I worked for transferred me to Ocala and then let me go shortly thereafter. Good times. But on multiple occasions she would swear up and down that such and such line was getting a full roll out or that specific assortments would be on pegs in a couple Weeks. When I showed her Hasbro press releases to the contrary she acted like I had gone over her head and gotten top secret info she hadn't been privy to. I'm not saying she's not nice enough, she's just not particularly well-informed in my experience.
Her predecessor, on older guy (probably about 60) was worse, though. he was rude and nasty, even when I tried to help him. many moons ago I ran into him at Altamonte TRU setting up the G.I.Joe BTR display (yes, that long ago, lol). A Mom asked him several questions about the line because she said she didn't want to buy sets for her boys only to have no new products to add later. his response was a canned "Hasbro always stands by their brands and while they haven't announced any more yet, I'm sure there will be". I interjected that I had just read about more sets coming, like the HISS, the HQ, etc... He asked me where I got my information because Hasbro hadn't told him anything. I told him "the internet".and showed him pics on my old Samsung slider phone. instead of being glad that I helped him sell multiple sets of one of the worst toy lines I can recall, he told me quietly to "fuck off and mind my own business". I just feel bad for the woman who never got any additional sets.
To reiterate, I don't dislike her or have any real ill will towards her, I've just gotten a lot of bad info from her over the last couple years.
