Don't the employees get mad when you open the cases though?

yah they do! Just don't do it front of them, and put the box back on the pallet and not laying around in the aisle..ha

Or you could hang/shelve the items you don't want for them.

I've done that before and they still got mad. They act like your stealing it. If they're too lazy to stock the shelves why shouldn't you get it yourself, and with as much as Starscream costs no employee should have any complaint that you're really want it that bad. Hope my Starscream arrives in the mail Tuesday...

I normally ask before i touch any of the cases and the 2 WMs i go to, they don't mind.

I was at walmart midnight last night scoring Masterpiece Starscream which required me to ask an employee to open up a case from a tower of boxes on a pallet. She pretty much dropped what she was doing and helped me get my beloved Screamer. I am VERY grateful.

Yeah, the stockers there are helpful if you ask them. I was at a WM tonight and the lady mentioned to me they had 5 cases and they went quick, she helped out by checking the pallets and even went out of her way to go out to the trailer in the back.

She said that you could ask to have them ordered and maybe they'd be able to hold them for you, its worth a try if someone is interested.

I also found out that if you were caught opening stuff from pallets, you could get kicked out of the store. I suppose, it depends on what store your at and how the employees feel about that sort of thing. If anything, ask before you do anything, which is what i always do unless the case is sitting in the aisle..

I would say that there is a great deal of variation here. . .some are great, some could give a damn.

Actually, thus far I've heard unanimous reports at tfw2005.com that Starscream was limited to 18 figures (6 cases) per store which won't be restocked. Talk with customer service, they'll have all the info.

I read that as well and heard they are non replinishable, which means that its up to the department manager to order more if they run out. IN all honesty I wouldn't worry.
