last night i went to toys r us with my girlfriend to buy a birthday gift. when i got there i wasnt really interested in looking at little tikes toys so i went to check the joe section. pretty much nothing then i look to my right and bam! rise of cobra figures. what i saw and picked up was shipwreck 2 vipers heavy duty and zartan they also had a screlett ripcord and breaker 2 of each on these figures. so i noticed they were on a $7.99 peg. so i grabbed what i wanted then right when we were gonna pay i hand the clerk all the joes as soon as she scans the first figure she says she can't sell it! then she tells me cause these arent suppose to be released till 7-4-09 she showed me the screen and i was bummed lol. so we asked if she could scan a 25th figures and leave with the RoC figures she said no cause if they disappeared she get busted cause of some BS. anyways i know my story might be hard to believe with no pics. but if you could see my face last night after getting dissed you know what i mean. so i know next saturday i will be up early right before the doors open : )

I use to take the one up front and then tell the clerk to ring up x amount more cause I was getting more. Then I would go and get what I wanted and show them it was the same toy. Worked everytime.

The Walmart I work for has not received any ROC merch yet. I'm hoping tomorrow night as any later will be cutting it close.

Did they pull all the rest of the RoC figures off the pegs, or are they still there? I was under the impression that they can't deny you something that they put on the store shelves themselves.

sorry, but I don't consider almost buying figures that will be everywhere next week and easy to find next month is even close to a jackpot. if that's a jackpot, so is buying a TF Flint.

I don't intend on buying any ROC stuff but I feel bad for you man. Did you think about complaining to the manager as to why they would put stuff on shelves or pegs and you not be able to purchase them?
