However, something still isn't right here. The cases may SAY that date on them, but how strictly is it enforced...? Like I said before: in the past, some stores would not even allow the transaction of some transformers movie toys to register until the activation/release date that is printed on their case, but yet I was able to legally and officially buy the retaliation single-carded figures today without incident, 12 days before their printed release date. This must mean (at Target at least) that it's a printed date warning rather than a computerized activation. The fact that I checked Target's inventory status online (which said 'available'... But this is also irrelevant because 3 other targets I called told me they couldn't pull them), then went to Target myself and had 3 employees cooperate to pull the figures for me from the stockroom apparently must mean that I just got lucky.
It does appear to be only a printed warning on the case itself. That's why when I called and even when the guy at electronics pulled up the DCPI in the handheld it was listed as available.
I'm also wondering how much this is enforced. When the deluxe TF Prime figs first came out, they had a 'street date'. A couple Targets said they couldn't pull them before then, yet, I was able to get them 2 weeks 'early',no questions asked at one or two.
I mean, shouldn't they just be happy they're selling stuff even before hitting the shelves rather than risking them just sitting there for weeks or months on end?
