The TJ Maxx here in Cullman had one (yes..that is the number 1) GI Joe figure finally on the peg after it's opening for 3 or so months. I check there almost daily and definately this past week (wondering if I would see the Flash Gordon figures).
It was Mutt and Junkyard. I am guessing that it was a return. I have another question. Do you guys get bombarded with private hate messages because you feel strongly about stuff. Luckliy on here, the Alabama tankers seem to all share the same view on: 1. Scalpers suck, and we have a problem here in north and central AL. 2. Iron Man 2 and Star Wars distribution sucks. But since I have been speakin g out more on that stuff in their respective threads...people have been plain mean and actually private messaged me with hateful messages. I have not attcked any person...just showed the faults of Toys R Us, Hasbro, and scalpers in general. I swear Hasbro or ddbballcards must have all these people on their payroll. |

dont get any messages, bad ones that is and I would prob be considered a scalper to be honest but hey when Transformers came out and Bumblebee was so hard to find, those were helping me eat after I lost my job lol. that being said I've hooked up people when I was there getting them too so never really cared what anyone thought of me. lol I prob looked like a scalper when I went through my divorce spending spree too and then again when I snatched up all the Thors at my wal-mart to help pay bills after wife cleaned out my account lol
I don't mind people buying stuff and selling it on eBay. What pisses me off is guys like Dan The Scalper having his friends at TRU sell the stuff out the back door to him. That isn't right at all, and TRU should fire those assholes. As I've said before, I used to work retail and even then I thought that shit was wrong. |

However, for those that like to lurk on these forums and ARE snatching stuff out of the back rooms before they get to the sales floor; I managed retail for 6 years, and I know how to play the game. I have spoken to management at TRU, and sent in a corporate complaint. There is an investigation going on, and if you get caught you will lose your job. So, I hope "hooking up" your friends is worth losing your job over. EDIT: Yes, I take things personally when I can't buy my son things he's been asking for.

That is an entirely different thing, and I don't have a problem with it.

EDIT: btw would not recommend doing that, they get pissed, I have a few family members that work there, ex gfs, and lots of old high school buds so I was lucky most of them were working that day lol and I was a little tipsy but dammit I wanted my Thor!! |
