I just picked up Matt Tracker and the EEL at Target. But this is what was funny the pegs were full of revision figs. So I went and asked them to pull more figs out of the backroom because they said they had some. The lady confirms two cases are in the back. I wait in anticipation hoping for maybe all of wave 10 and 11 to appear.
But to my displeasure she arrives with flat box piled up with damaged figs all revision except the EEL and Tracker which were in pretty bad shape but I grabbed them anyway. When I get home I realize my EEL is poor quality the glass looks fogged and he has a case of the jello necks. The poor EEL can barely hold up his head. Moral of the story check the backrooms for figs they might be taking figs out of the boxes and randomly placing them on the shelves. So at one point and time the rest of wave 11 was at Target in Baton Rouge. |

I've recently scored two of the battle packs, and the exclusive Transformers two pack of Springer and Ratbat, by asking them to take them from the back room. My targets are very cool. However yesterday at my favorite target I saw they had those Trans figs in the back and asked for assistance and he pulled the online only crap with me. I saw on his scanner it did say that but the red thing you can check listed as in-stock in the backroom. He gave me so sorry crap, and I said "I can understand if you don't want to get them for me I'll just come back tomorrow, but don't pretend it's on-line only". Stores will never do on-line only because no one wants to pay shipping plus sales tax on an already overpriced item.

i solved all of my retail problems that i have by just not going to them for toy hunts anymore. I have been yelled at, i have had items taken from me, had other collectors want to fight me for getting something they want...and so on. Its not even fun anymore. I order online and anything else i happen to stumble upon is an added bonus |

targets in my area are worthless for figures. i check every time and they never show any in the stock room either. they just don't carry alot of the figures. i've only seen 2 of the new vehicles and none of hte new comic packs either. it's odd how the favorite hunting grounds change over the months. in the early days i found everything at target, now it's next to nothing. the upsaide is you can atleast check to see if they have stock in back. walmart just tells you what they have is on the floor. i prefer to atleast know for sure my trip was wasted than walk away wondering.

i just got someone to pull me the ubp from the stockroom at a target that never pulls stuff for people, maybe their policy of not pulling stuff from the back has changed.

Wave 10, 11 or 12 are either rare where I am or are not even really out here except for a case here or there. I have seen the revision wave with Mutt that is the only Wave 10 fig I have seen. The two Wave 11 figs are the only Wave 11 I've seen.

I asked a lady at Target today to pull an UBP from the back and she was awesome about it. She even asked how many I wanted (at $63, one was plenty).
