Finally tracked down a Baroness. So, glad to get that out of the way. Please, Hasbro, no more exclusives.
Saw a stock change on Popfindr at a local Target this morning that had none last night. Like a bat outta hell, I raced over there to find an empty shelf. I very politely asked the associate working the toy section to help me "locate a toy I can't find that should be in stock." At first she gave me the line about "if it just came in it'll be a few hours before it can get off the truck. Again, very politely and humbly, I mentioned that the kiosk indicated it should be on hand, and I showed her the spot where they should be. I faked like I was a little confused which sometimes triggers a person to try to help. She then pulled out her scanner thingy and looked it up. She went to the back and came out with a case of 3 which is what Popfindr indicated. I took 1, left the other 2, and cheerfully thanked her for her help. I also asked for her name and I mentioned I was going to leave some very positive feedback on the survey on the receipt which I did as soon as I got in the car. Guys, you have to ask for help. You see a change in Popfindr that shows multiple in stock they have to be there unless someone just beat you to it. Popfindr seems to be timely and accurate for the Classified figures at least. Baroness went down to 2 by the time I got to my car and checked. Next, I almost always ask someone. They don't go bring them out. They don't go look. One yesterday didn't even LOOK at me. Scanned the tag, "we don't have it", walked away. Kiosk said they had 7 under #3310. Funny, because the other customer that spoke spanish, she couldn't have helped him more. Me, speaking english, barely got the time of day. Went back today and asked someone else; "We don't have it." "The kiosk says you have 7." "It's street dated. It's not on the floor or in the back." "Where are they ?" "We haven't got them yet." This store has had 7 listed for well over a week. This is the type of employee I run into. Oh, and Popfindr ain't that great. Check 087-16-1950, Marvel Legends Punisher; street date listed is 1/1/1970.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but, why are there 'in hand' snake supreme figures for sale on eBay, if that figure is an exclusive that hasn't even come out yet?

Factory workers, drivers, inventory receivers and the like all see this stuff months before it gets to the store.

If I try DCPI or the TCIN for the individual figures in this wave I get no stock showing and a November date listed . Last edited by JackKnight73; 09-11-2020 at 01:57 PM.. |

I realize the original reference was just a joke and I don't mean to make a theological debate out of this, but in truth by replacing the one true God with a "toy God" you've created a false idol. Not good. I figure it's best to just give credit where its due. Last edited by Stygian; 09-11-2020 at 03:24 PM.. |

Noticed on popfindr several Target yesterday showed increased stock of 3310s. I was stuck at work all day. Only 1 target's numbers didn't drop before this morning. Headed there. Hanging on the pegs, I repeat on the pegs, was a case of Wave 2 (minus Red Ninja) and 1 each C.I. RB and BH lol. Most figures I've seen at one time since they came out. I grabbed a CC and a GH. Mildly disappointed that I "missed" the Red Ninja, I started to scour the other shelves. Lo and behold, some one stashed it on the bottom shelf behind some Transformers. Nice try...

Why do people stash figures and not just buy them?
I'm having trouble understanding the point unless there is a limit (which there hasn't been consistently for Joes).
