I am calling you out, right here right now.
I'm putting this out there, in case this person posts in this thread. There is a jerk in the Columbia area that frequents the TRU here that hides toys under shelves repeatedly. I saw you do it once, in passing. You cleared off all of the items on the bottom shelf, lifted the shelf, and dumped a bunch of rare figures in the space under the shelf.
I know you still do it, because every now and then after a TRU inventory or reset, employees find your stash and put them back onto the shelves. I know from working retail that you were hiding them under the shelves in the bottom of the shelving unit near the floor, because the floor wax that TRU uses to buff floors seeps into the hardbacks and ruins the packaging. I know this because I used to find items that slid behind floor fixtures year later that had been caked in floor wax residue (the fixtures do not move when the floor is waxed, usually 2-3 times yearly).
I know the store employees at TRU find your stash every few months because a whole rash of HTF figures will suddenly appear, covered in dust and floor wax, with the back of the cards peeled off from where they were laid on the floor and stuck when the wax dried.
I am on to you. If you and I run into each other, there will be words spoken. You are a low, low human being. If you cannot afford toys, do not hide them so others waste gas money and time away from family trying to find items that you have so cleverly (in your own mind) hidden.
You make everything about this hobby awful for others, you make store employee's lives difficult, and you make stores not want to carry certain lines because of this type of behavior.
I saw you doing this last year, you were with one of your buddies, there were two of you total, and you were in the Marvel Universe aisle in the Columbia TRU. You were telling your buddy how smart it was as your were removing the bottom shelf on the floor fixture adjacent to the MU wall. You think I didn't see you, that no one knew what you were doing, but I was in a hurry and with my 4 year old niece or I would have laid into you and brought every store employee down upon you.
If you do post in this thread, know that I remember what you look like, and will be watching out for you. You are a scumbag. You have a confrontation coming, and know it will be uncomfortable for you.
My sincere advise for you; grow up. Get out of this hobby. Go far, far away and do something else with your time.
Your most recent stash was just found, and guess what, it is back on pegs for kids and collectors to buy. You had a whole bunch of 2012-2013 MU figures, multiple Abombinations / A-bomb variants, the Cloak & Dagger figures, and several others. All of the MU figures you hid are gone.
I just came back from TRU Columbia and spoke with the guy that works in the action figure section. Cool dude, he said that someone was hiding figures under the bottom trays of shelves right on top of the floors. This screws up the store's inventory since they will not order more unless their computers show zero in stock.
Anyways, I thought it was weird that just this last Sunday I managed to snag RoML: Infinite Series - Jubilee BAF Stryfe leaving plenty of Cyclops and Wolverine figures behind in case I come this week. For some strange reason, on today, all of them were gone.
I spoke with the guy that worked here and told him this was peculiar since Wolverine and Cyclops are not rare, and there is no way somebody bought them all up at once. He told me about this loser that hides things under the base tray in some aisles and comes back for them later or forgets them all together. He said he found a few Captain America: The Winter Soldier Marvel Legends figures in these stashes and put them back.
If you are that cool TRU employee that helped me out thanks a lot bro. I'm the dude that got the G.I Joe 50th Anniversary Eagle's Edge 3-pack, Heated Battle and Marksman sets today around 2:00 pm.
If you are that loser that browses through these threads and hits up stores early everyday to stash HTF figures in places for later on, well, just hope I don't see you doing it (seriously, I don't play around...)
Also, I'm seeing repackages like crazy at the Beltsville Target location off of Cherry Hill Rd. and Calverton Rd. WTF people, these figures are the cheapest things you'll buy while going out running errands. Why in the hell would you exert energy in repacking them just to get back $10 - $12 in your bank account? Do you not have a job that pays more than $10 a week?
