It seems like some Ross stores get a ton of stock and others don't get that much. I've never seen shelves full of Joes at mine - although I have seen a fair bit of SW. Maybe we have some collectors/scalpers who hit the stores early or have a backroom insider helping or more likely my store only gets one case at a time. There seems to be some variability in not only getting stock but how much they receive.

Went to the nearest Ross. The toy section was pathetic! There was hardly anything for sale. Most of it was olllld junk, it didn't look like it had been stocked in months. Only GI Joe toy was some of weird preschool-looking ROC Cobra Commander toy. So definitely no Target Exclusives. I'll give it a few days before I check again.
Strangely though the store was the cleanest and best-organized Ross or Marshall's I've ever seen. |

Here's a hunting story. I've been out of town all week on vacation. I got back to GA around 8 pm. I left my house @ 845 and went to 9 Ross stores. The last store I visited was just wishful thinking as it seemed that most of the stores I visited had bare toy sections. I got to the last store with 10 min. before closing, and scored 2 ram cycles, and 3 whirlwinds. What a way to start x-mas.

So this'll teach me, Yesterday I was told by the closest Ross that their truck would be in later that day & that toys/home goods were the first to be stocked and to come back around 1pm.
I came back around 12:30 and saw that there were a few new toys already but no Joes (or even spaces for them) I asked a different lady and she said the truck already came and they already stocked all the toys. So then I get the idea to hunt smarter, not harder (Thank you Scrooge McDuck) So I start calling the area Ross stores rather than drive all over 3-4 towns......all come up empty. Many of them saying they didn't get toys on the truck today. OK no worries, I'll try a few again tomorrow on my way to work. Then an hour or so later I get a call from a friend that he found a few sets (no Bubbles) at one of the stores I called and this morning I have a PM from another member telling me there was a set found at a different store I called yesterday who told me they didn't get any in that day. Now it's possible the second store's reported finding got a truck after I called, but the one that my friend called me from seems to have just lied to me over the phone (or didn't know what they were talking about) Either way, color me slightly annoyed |
