devils advocate :
If he doesn't do that, then maybe NONE of the stores in his area get new figures. They all just sit there with 4 Lady Jaye and Cobra Commanders on the pegs. Target says "we haven't sold a single GiJoe Classified product in this district for 6 months. I guess we should cut back orders or stop carrying the product completely." Also, lets say the store he returned them to had 4-5 on hand prior - they will do nothing to get rid of those. But if they have 10, maybe they put those on clearance and get new ones in. The best case scenario is for all the collectors in his area to designate one store as "The Dump" and buy all the old figures at all the stores and return the to the Dump store. Nobody is getting hurt by having "their" store get turned into the Dump. It's not like there isn't a Target store every 5 minutes apart from each other. |

Oh, for Canadians, Amazon has Alley Vipers up for preorder with a ship date of tomorrow (doubt that will happen, but hey, you never know!).

What's even worse is Targets distributing their stock so poorly that things people desperately tried to find in stores ending up being sold off to BBTS.

Target sill gets in some of the stuff. I saw the Cobra Island Viper show up for order a few times on the website over the weekend.

And no - not everyone has a Target five minutes away - or even multiple within five minutes of each other. My 'local' store is 15 minutes away - the next closest is probably about 25 minutes. We don't all live in suburbia - no matter what people think. |

Wait - we are actually arguing that trying to screw over Target - and Fellow Collectors - is a 'good' thing? Man, I need off this planet. The lengths that people will go to justify their crooked actions is astounding.

All of Target's excuses are easily refuted and yet Target still does it. I have no sympathy toward Target if a customer decides to buy old stock, used their car to transport that product to a different store and then returns it new condition to force the distribution and stocking of new product at their local store. There is nothing illegal in the above actions. The customer is spending their own time and money to get Target to do what it should be doing in the first place. Stocking and selling product.

How does it force stocking of new product?
Many Targets just...leave the pegs empty, or move over other fuller pegs of stuff onto them. My own Target will jut put the massive overflow of WWE and DC Multiverse figures onto the Classified pegs, Black Series pegs, pretty much any pegs that are open they get so much WWE and DC stuff in. There is proof they have the new Star Wars figures...they just leave them in the back because WWE is already sitting on those pegs. hell, mine just put out the Dark Rey wave from well over a year go that finally made it's way out because the Black Series pegs have been overstuffed with WWE for a year now. Me buying up all the Joes didn't clear out new stock again being put up - Akiko sat through nothing, then the BAT wave, and back to nothing again. Target sold out of Marvel Legends and the pegs...remain empty. Literally one Walmart in all of Philly has put out any new Marvel Legends (South Philly). Rest have empty pegs. It's great if it works. But is there alot of evidence it does work? Last edited by IzzyTipsy; 05-31-2022 at 04:30 PM.. |
