I get that too. I've stopped asking the employees about that. In fact, one time I did ask and got this answer, another customer overheard the brief conversation. When the employee walked away, the other customer walked over to me and told me I should look in the area behind the inserts above the shelves because they store extra stuff up there. I found many more toys in that area but not what I wa looking for.

I've known about the extra stuff behind the flaps for years. Since before I could actually reach up there, in fact.

Though there's usually never anything good there.

I saw the same thing at a TRU a few days ago, the same one that RonaldofGilead had gone to.

As for extra stuff behind the flaps, I was able to find 2 cases of wave 3 joes back when wave 3 first started showing up at TRU. It also helps to have SKU#s so you can ask what other TRUs have Figures. Thats how I found a couple extra cobra troopers and officers.

I'd definately buy one of those if I found one. Especially for the price. In the mean time I'll wait for those sweet Target vehicles..

LOL...too right! I won't say I've known about the extra stuff behind the inserts for years, but I was certainly clued in at some point, and do check there on occasion. As you said though, Onslaught, rarely is there anything worth writing home about up there.
