Target making it even harder to give them our money. ;)
Over the past two plus years. I have been trying to figure out if acquiring Target exclusives is more Counter-intelligence, Electronic Warfare or a Psyops Campaign. Just waiting for the day that customs starts pulling Joe's out of my bags when returning to the States the way they do to check Lenca Pottery and stone statues. Crystal Ball is running the Psyops team at Target corporate. |

I just got back from my comic store. Finally picked up my pull account for the past few months. Can finally catch up to issue 300.
They had Tomax and Xamot both on the shelf. Only $30 each... which is a good deal, imo! Anyhow, I was talking to the store owner - and he says he's started taking action figures on consignment from a local guy. He was telling me how the guy has given him the story about how he searches all around the Columbus / Central Ohio area daily... and picks up anything that 'is worth it'. No wonder I never see anything in Target. So, He starts telling me about his pricing for consignment stuff: The Comic Store keeps 25% - and the scalper dude gets 75%. So, that means that the scalper is only getting $22.50 a piece for Tomax and Xamot. HOW does that make any sense for this guy to spend his time and gas money to search around at all these stores - just to scalp them for what he paid? Add in sales tax, and he's losing money. *edit thought. I hate scalpers. I really do. Lowest form of life in this hobby. * unless he's flat-out steeling them. Back-door dealing with buddies on the inside? Or walking out the self-scan aisles without paying for everything. What comic store is it? I live in Columbus and it?s a pain to find things here, I did find Xamot on Friday at Graceland shopping center Target, lady checking me out said she would price match the lowest price on the internet which ended up being GameStop at $18, I?m still looking for Tomax but might try amazon tomorrow, I also need to try hobbies galore in north Columbus, he gets in tons of figures before target does.

I really appreciate COBRA recognizing The Old Line State with Maryland Viper.

Here's a picture from Oct 3rd, showing Spirit isn't even in their own system. And I could post others, and from other toy lines. Some stuff is either not entered into the system, or it's taken out later. Quote:

Looks like my second PP Viper is about to ship from Pulse. My Target one arrived on Saturday. Kind of overwhelmed with the number of stuff that has arrived in one week.
