No, Ross buys overstock that's still in factory cases. They will get leftovers that were once in a warehouse but never from a sales floor. This was bought and returned at ROSS. Just pisses me off, it's no different from stealing right there in the store, ripping it out of the packaging and walking out. It's even worst since what they do actually requires employees to just pass it along. The Sharc had replaced tape over the box edge where there's normally no tape. Interestingly enough, a print could be pulled from that tape and the thief could be possibly found if they've ever been printed before. I am going to talk to the manager at the store and have them pull that Sharc for the police to look at =).

I picked up the Joe Mech at the Buckhead Ross tonight. First time I had been out hunting in what seems like forever. Oxford comics has waves 5 and 6, but at $12.99 each they're an easy pass.

I wonder if oxford comics trades figures? If they had a return policy like Target, i'd have a field day giving them a few jungle snake eyes and arctic storm shadows. Any comic store that marks up current issues has earned my ire.

They just hit the west coast so expect to see them in a week here. Ross really is Joe retailer of the year. Can't wait to see the resolute 7 packs hit there too! I'be been very patient with those.

And yeah the newer Oxford comics owners are asshats if they've stooped to marking up current issues, regardless of how good/OMFG hot the issue is. Hope they still have that side room collecting dust full of ugly dc direct figures and other dead lines. |

Well, they've been doing it for years. I had no idea there was a change in ownership. I used to go to classic comics but Brian gave up the business and became a real estate agent. That room still exists with all of those exclusive and hard to find figures with massive markups. The funny thing is some of the items in there have appreciated way beyond their ridiculous retail markups so you could actually low ball them and then turn it for a profit. They've got some really old marvel legends figures ripe for the picking.

One of the Ross stores I go into has had an empty RoC Duke card sat on the shelf for as long as I can recall. What kind of employee looks at that and thinks, ''best leave it there. Somebody might want to buy it...''
The big problem with Ross (and to a lesser extent TJ Maxx and Marshall's) is that some people seem to equate ''toy department'' with ''free toys for my stupid kids to play with while I try on clothes.'' Hell, I once watched a kid pick-up a football and throw it into a stacked display of toy cars - while his parents just stood and let him... Why are the LP staff never around when that shit happens?

I just picked up a A.W.E. Striker with Night Fox at Ross. The Ross on Barret Pkwy still has 2 of the Ice Cutters left.
