Sorry, it's me. I give them wedgies and dunk their heads in the toilets when they don't have the figures I'm looking for.

And why would that be considered a problem?

Retail stores also know that when it comes to toys, not everything is going to sell. If they let people come in and ask for the good stuff from the back all the time, only the junk nobody wants gets put out and customers stop shopping there out of frustration.
I dunno. There are lots of reason, even if it is annoying to the collector. I litteraly saw a kid pick up an IM figure yesterday and his mom blatanlty told him "NO YOU already have that one put it back" and the kid started crying cause he wanted something new and was just picking up what was on the shelf available to him in droves of the same figure :( |

I don't buy these, but I keep an eye for some local people. I saw two AIM soldiers and some jerkass bent the cards. They were both bent the same way and were on those cardboard end display sets that Targets get. Those were the only figures bent, too.

I'm personally offended by the "problems with collectors" bit. Mostly because that's not the only store who's said the exact same thing.
What fucking problem do they have? They'd rather sell 1-2 figures intermittently to kids, or have a collector come in and buy the whole wave? Which is better for business? Do they not want to sell? Judging by Wal-mart's stocking issues, I'd say yes. Do they have a problem with a 38 year old man walking in and buying toys? Fuck them. I earn my money just like everyone else and can spend where I please. It's not like my wife can ever leave Target without spending over $100 every time. EDIT: I'm not done...the crown and coke I've had tonight after a stressful day is burning to let more out! When I go to my local comic/collectibles shop at least the guy knows me by name, knows what I am most likely to purchase, and sets stuff aside for me. Unless you know someone who works at the big box retailers I can almost guarantee they won't do that. Shit, the guy knows that I'll buy my daughter the next My Little fucking pony from him as well. I'd rather pay an extra buck or two per figure to get that service and support those businesses that offer good customer service. Whether it be at the comic place, or the hole in the wall diner that serves the best hamburgers in town. Phew...this thread is like a stress release ball!

I think this anti-collectors policy was first put in place mainly for Hotwheels collectors though... those ****ers are rabid. LOL. I wouldn't want to help them out either to be honest. Quote:
