I've learned that you can get more info from an employee in person than you can over the phone. Plab to hit the two on the way to work and the roommate is going to hit the 2 on the way to her work... so hopefully we have our basis covered. LOL

If you are already in the store then there is no need to bug an employee until after you check the number yourself on one of the price scanners scattered around the store. If the scanner says "In Stock" then you grab an employee by the collar and shake them until they agree to go to the back and pull one for you!

I still haven't found the TRU 5 packs and now these are showing up? I suppose tomorrow somebody will find wave 7. Oh well, I was caught up for awhile.

I just scored all three of the exclusive GI JOE 25th vehicles. Gave them the DPCI 087060918 and she had someone grab a case. I was flirting big time with the employee so that probably helped. I dunno if they have any more cases there. Keep a big smile while you ask, that's the most important thing. Here's how it went down:
I punched in the # on the price scanner. The buttons were disabled by the toy section (They like to disable them for collectors) so I went to another scanner across the store and the buttons worked. It said "IN BACKROOM: YES" So I found a semi-cute employee and said: Hi, I was on the target website yesterday and I saw an item on there that I wanted. The website said your store had some in stock, but I don't see any on the shelf. :( What item is it? Oh it's this jeep looking toy, I have the dpci # from the website I can give it to you. (Don't say it's GI JOE, they will know you're a collector and tell you to f-off) Hmm ok let me find the guy that works the dept for you. Huge smile and wink Next employee: can I help you? (I told him the same thing as the other lady but I was smiling at him and super friendly.) He checks his scanner with the # I give him... OK I can go check in the back and get one out of the case for you. Oh um actually there are three different ones and I wanted one of each. There's a jeep looking thing, a tank, and an underwater vehicle. OK I'll go check the back. A few minutes later he came back with the whole case, and it had one of each in it. YAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!! |

I don't see a problem with that. You can't be too proud when on the hunt.
