A Target kind of in my area had the jets listed as available.So I called and sure enough they only have one of each in stock.I asked the lady in guest services if she she could hold them until I got there.She said "I'm assuming your a collector and we are NOT allowd to hold collectibles for collectors" I said well maybe I have a son that really enjoys Gi Joe and would like to get the planes.She told me No and if I live so far away then I better hurry cause those are th last ones.I'm hoping some TArgets by my house get them in.No way am I going to waste gas to go there with my luck being the way it has been lately.What a bunch of shit.

They lost all of my non-exclusive business some time ago with their very unfriendly policies and price gouging single-carded Joe prices.

Policies such as this are why I refuse to buy things like soap, dishwashing liquid, snacks, DVDs, CDs, games, fishing tackle, etc at Target. I only buy the exclusives there because they are the only store carrying them.

I'm not going to fault a store over toys versus a toy that is taking over our way of life. Yes, I DO live in a small town POP (6000 -/+) and the walmart here continues to expand into a super center but the town won't let them. Currently it is the smallest walmart allowed. The toy section is only 3 aisles. Boy and girl toys share the same aisle. Cars, games and LEGO share the same aisle and plush, dolls and books share the other. They carry only 1 case maybe 2 cases of Star Wars at a time and no Joes. I prefer Target over walmart any given day. |

not all targets will hold items. i was also told they would not do so for me yesterday. i had to drive 30 miles on faith that no one would get there before me, i did btw. my local target on the other hand will hold things.
just like calling to verify stock... some will just flat out make crap up and some will actually help you. i've called one store repeatedly who keep tellign me they are out despite the website saying available for 2 days now. it sucks knowing your getting jerked around but thats just part of the game in hunting for toys.

Are collectors not the consumers that these planes are intended for? Who will they hold them for, scalpers? If they won't hold the items for their intended market, then why hold them for anyone? Obviously the intended customer should be able to place them on hold for pickup. The employee even admitted the items are for collectors in her comment. How stupid is it for Target to not go out of its way to see that these get into the hands of the market they were intended for? It sounds as if they go out of their way to make sure they do not get into collectors hands, while admitting they are for collectors. Dumb. As I mentioned earlier, Target has totally stupid policies. They have pretty much ruined any chance of getting my non-exclusive business as a result.

I'm just glad that the Targets I visit don't mention or uphold such stupid policies (like kids are buying GI JOEs). They are always helpful.
