So this'll teach me, Yesterday I was told by the closest Ross that their truck would be in later that day & that toys/home goods were the first to be stocked and to come back around 1pm.
I came back around 12:30 and saw that there were a few new toys already but no Joes (or even spaces for them) I asked a different lady and she said the truck already came and they already stocked all the toys.
So then I get the idea to hunt smarter, not harder (Thank you Scrooge McDuck) So I start calling the area Ross stores rather than drive all over 3-4 towns......all come up empty. Many of them saying they didn't get toys on the truck today. OK no worries, I'll try a few again tomorrow on my way to work.
Then an hour or so later I get a call from a friend that he found a few sets (no Bubbles) at one of the stores I called and this morning I have a PM from another member telling me there was a set found at a different store I called yesterday who told me they didn't get any in that day.
Now it's possible the second store's reported finding got a truck after I called, but the one that my friend called me from seems to have just lied to me over the phone (or didn't know what they were talking about)
Either way, color me slightly annoyed
Same thing has happened to me I dont know why people promote the idea of calling first so much. I tested this on myself, rather I had a hunch. I called TRU about some Marvel figures, the lady on the phone said no nothing new, just some Iron men and Spidermen...(the pegs were empty last time I was there) So I was about to forget about it but something got me to get in the car and go there and wha-lah the new wave was out! I even recognized the lady from the phone and called her out nicely on it. I dont ever call stores anymore, they either dont know what they are looking for, dont want to help a toy collector, or dont want to be bothered and will say anything to prevent them from looking for something.
