Just got back from roughly 6 hour round trip Joe run, hit 2 TRU, 1 Target and 1 Walmart. Only store that I bought anything from was both TRU's.
The first TRU was the better of the two by far, had way more selection for everything! Bought the only Snow Serpent and 3 Bench Press figs they had. SV and CWOF, I got you covered.
Then I went to the Target, had a nice minty Rescue Mission set and Rhino in my hands. I asked the Target employee if they had any of the new Target Wave 2 Deluxe sets in the back somewhere. I told them they were supposed to be out and have been selling like crazy at other Target locations in the US and Canada. The guy came back and said nope, everything we have is out on the floor and what is in back can't be put out yet. Does that mean they have them in the back and won't put them out until the last remaining Wave 1 sets are gone or could it be the Past and Present Rockslide set? Maybe stuff for 2010 PoC lineup? So, kind of ticked about the way he said that, I put the Rhino and Rescue Mission back and walked out.
Just to cover all the bases, I checked a Walmart there to, no playsets! The last remaining RoC 2 packs were clearanced to $11 each though! Didn't get anything there.
Headed over to the second TRU and got one of each Cobra and Joe 5 pack sets. I had printed off a coupon for the 25th/ME TRU 5 pack sets for $9.99 but didn't grab any of them. I asked an employee there if they had any of the newer TRU RoC exclusive figures besides the 1 Bench Press that was hanging on a peg. He asked me if I was sure I didn't mean one of the RoC keychain figures and I said "not even close!" As I grabbed the Bench Press off the peg to show him which figure I wanted (Snow Serpent), I noticed this Bench Press just didn't look right.
No wonder! It's a repacked Hawk in Bench Press cardback! I told the guy that someone had bought this, taken out the figure and repacked it and returned it here with a different one and they accepted it and restocked it. The guy looked kind of guilty and said, "whoa, how would someone do that and us not catch it? Are you sure?" And then he walked away looking back at me as he turned the corner.
I should have bought it and sold it on ebay as a rare error carded screw up from Hasbro for $100 buy it now!
