fuck target. In Nyc in a Queens target, I ratted out employees who took money from scalpers to give them the toys. I caught the thing on video and sent it to corporate. I cannot show it here. But the reason I caught on to them was because back in January I had seen one of those guys take cash from a dude asking for McFarlane Multiverse. And I saw the exchange. At the time I didnt care. Fast forward to late august and I am hunting for the target exclusives and I see the same guy tell me they dont have the toys even though it says they do on popfindr and in the store. So I let it go. I come the next day and asked for the guys name from the tag and tell them Im here for the toys. The other employee opens a drawer where they had the 3 beachheads from the day before that the guy told me they didnt have. Thats when I fucked up and told him how come he told me they didnt have them yesterday and then the guy is like hold on let me ask. And he gets the supervisor or manager. The supervisor comes and gives me this huge story of how those arent for sale. And that tipped me off. I stayed around and about 15 minutes later in comes a guy and I start filming, he hands the manager cash, I dont know how much, and he gets the Beachheads they just told me they cant sell. I caught the whole thing on camera, though not the part where the manager told me they werent for sale. But still. I was on to them. When the guy who wasnt in on it was going to give them to me, the manager stepped in. It was the managers racket. I reported it to corporate and sent them the video and everything.

Kind of impressive that they found absolutely no takeaways to act on from the first CI fiasco. Unless they did some stuff behind the scenes to get more figures to the stores, they basically have plugged their ears, huh?

Anybody got the DPCI numbers for Firefly, Viper, Zartan, and Infantry yet?
No matter how much the announcement that Target will be rewarded for their idiotic handling of the W1 CI release we all know damn good and well that we'll be buying these figures. Let's skip to the part where we start looking.

I'll go ahead and say that if I come across any extras I'd be willing to ship to other members for retail price+shipping!

I feel like we will be sitting there just before 5pm waiting, a horn will blast and someone announces, “ And now," cried Max, "let the wild rumpus start!”. BOOM! And we will be off and clicking.
Thinking about this some, even if we get to pre-order from Target now, who is to say any of us will actually receive them? How many times have we seen accounts by folks who ordered the figures in July are either have not received them yet or their orders were just canceled? Too many for my taste. There is another thought I just had. Does anyone think there is a possibility with only two CI figs announced, a case with say two Firefly, two Vipers, and a mix of previous Cobra Island figs. |
