seriously? Every time I ask I get the run around, but then when I get there I don't see a single teenybopper. I end up having to ask the "older" employee's and all I get is "we can't do that" (go in the back room).
You know what I mean about the Jungle Vipers then, just too damn many! How many Shock Troopers have you seen? I've found 2 in Target. Thats it. Have you found the money bags Destro in Rapid? I have yet to see that wave, only found Shadow Tracker. Coming up from Custer I always miss out on new figs. I bumped into Kat Country in wally mart awhile back and hooked him up with an Alley Viper, he mentioned you. Last edited by Akunin; 04-30-2011 at 06:00 PM.. |

Being aware of the "hiders", I like to hunt down the hidden joes and put them on the pegs if I don't buy them myself. The mini sleeping bags and mini tents are hot spots. look behind the bigger boxed toys on the bottom row of the toy isles, there sometimes as well. Backpacks to. The targets here in scalper central dont give a shit how many are on the pegs, its what the computer says that counts. I have had long discussions with the mega mind target managers and employees, if its in the computer then its in stock. Will not restock until computer says no more on floor. If all mighty computer says that even one is on the floor they will not restock the pegs when stock is ready in back. Target is a bit crazy and weird logic is the norm. Go to any target here at 8am, when they open, and watch the hot wheels guys and joe/marvel retards race each other to the toy section. Its funny as heck. I heard one fat ass who couldnt break the 2 mph mark yell at the other guys "Hey! No running!"
fun for all. hasbro could of course just meet demand but that idea seems to complex for them.

I just found someone "stash" today at TRU. They were hiding 2 AV and 1 ST. Wonder what his face is going to look like when he see's that there gone? First come, First scored. Does anyone things that was messed up or would you have done the same thing?

Since I have to drive so far for f'ing toys I spend a good hour looking everywhere for stashed joes. I found a few Alley Vipers behind some baby dolls in the girl section and a cobra commander and beach head stashed in sporting goods. I look behind every box on the shelves through out the toy section. I've tried to get every POC figure (screw the vehicles, can't keep up) for the kid and the big scalpers/collectors beat me out everytime. I'll buy joes for the kid before I do for myself and when I ask if there is any more stock in the back they treat me like a scalper and I don't get any help at all. The "help" has even told me that "because of guys like you kids don't get any of these and you sell them on ebay"... excuse me? I've felt like taking pictures of my kids room just to show them who gets the joes. He won't even share his ROC Rhino with me... :(

Idk Seems Wrong to me. Hiding stuff is just slowing down restocking. Even if they do a Peg count, I doubt they do it everyday.
