Anyone need a Battle Below Zero set? I've got one I'm considering getting rid of.
As for the ongoing conversation - why would you hide desirable stuff if you're never going to come back for it? Just to be a dick?

I haven't opened my BBZ set yet; how is it? As for the continued conversation, the list from the TRU stash discovery included multiple Skyline Sirens, Cloak & Dagger multiples, A-Bomb (Blue) multiples, Abombination multiples, random MU 2013-2014 figures, and a few HTF Captain America Legends... I swung by Walmart today to pickup some stuff for my wife; they are doing a full restack / toy department shuffle for inventory, and noticed they had uncovered the same stash there too! There were Marvel Legend Black Cats (I was lucky enough to snag one) and Wave 1 Captain America Legends figs... Frustrating, that I spent weeks looking for those, only to know now that they were probably hiding elsewhere in the store. I know this was the result of a stash find, since there were no traces of other Spiderman Legends line, and it would seem VERY doubtful that somehow the Columbia Walmart would ONLY get a random wave of Black Cat / Wave 1 figures...

I was with my niece, and she was having a meltdown because we wouldn't buy her one of the ride-in vehicles (the big ones w/ the battery).. I made the first mistake of being a loving uncle, and allowed her to sit in a few for a 'test drive', not knowing that a tantrum would be imminent if we did not go home with one.

I see repackaged more often than stash finds and dislike those low enough to repackage and return more than stash hiders. Equally frustrating are the retail staff that do nothing when I show them repackaged toys. They walk away and it finds it's way right back to the shelf.

Stashing stuff is dumb and immature, but repacking is straight out theft. I've shown it to CSRs at my local TRU and they pull it from the shelf. I've also found stashes there but in the past few months they got rid of all the overhead racks someone was using.
Also, my two cents on the BBZ set; it's fantastic. But I'm a sucker for the Sky Hawk.

Today I found a whole bunch of random figures that were hard to find figures from last year on pegs at the Columbia TRU. They were covered in dust, and the packages had dried floor wax on them. I know exactly what happened to these, because I saw the jerk doing this last year at our TRU.
I am calling you out, right here right now. I'm putting this out there, in case this person posts in this thread. There is a jerk in the Columbia area that frequents the TRU here that hides toys under shelves repeatedly. I saw you do it once, in passing. You cleared off all of the items on the bottom shelf, lifted the shelf, and dumped a bunch of rare figures in the space under the shelf. I know you still do it, because every now and then after a TRU inventory or reset, employees find your stash and put them back onto the shelves. I know from working retail that you were hiding them under the shelves in the bottom of the shelving unit near the floor, because the floor wax that TRU uses to buff floors seeps into the hardbacks and ruins the packaging. I know this because I used to find items that slid behind floor fixtures year later that had been caked in floor wax residue (the fixtures do not move when the floor is waxed, usually 2-3 times yearly). I know the store employees at TRU find your stash every few months because a whole rash of HTF figures will suddenly appear, covered in dust and floor wax, with the back of the cards peeled off from where they were laid on the floor and stuck when the wax dried. I am on to you. If you and I run into each other, there will be words spoken. You are a low, low human being. If you cannot afford toys, do not hide them so others waste gas money and time away from family trying to find items that you have so cleverly (in your own mind) hidden. You make everything about this hobby awful for others, you make store employee's lives difficult, and you make stores not want to carry certain lines because of this type of behavior. I saw you doing this last year, you were with one of your buddies, there were two of you total, and you were in the Marvel Universe aisle in the Columbia TRU. You were telling your buddy how smart it was as your were removing the bottom shelf on the floor fixture adjacent to the MU wall. You think I didn't see you, that no one knew what you were doing, but I was in a hurry and with my 4 year old niece or I would have laid into you and brought every store employee down upon you. If you do post in this thread, know that I remember what you look like, and will be watching out for you. You are a scumbag. You have a confrontation coming, and know it will be uncomfortable for you. My sincere advise for you; grow up. Get out of this hobby. Go far, far away and do something else with your time. Your most recent stash was just found, and guess what, it is back on pegs for kids and collectors to buy. You had a whole bunch of 2012-2013 MU figures, multiple Abombinations / A-bomb variants, the Cloak & Dagger figures, and several others. All of the MU figures you hid are gone. Anyways, I thought it was weird that just this last Sunday I managed to snag RoML: Infinite Series - Jubilee BAF Stryfe leaving plenty of Cyclops and Wolverine figures behind in case I come this week. For some strange reason, on today, all of them were gone. I spoke with the guy that worked here and told him this was peculiar since Wolverine and Cyclops are not rare, and there is no way somebody bought them all up at once. He told me about this loser that hides things under the base tray in some aisles and comes back for them later or forgets them all together. He said he found a few Captain America: The Winter Soldier Marvel Legends figures in these stashes and put them back. If you are that cool TRU employee that helped me out thanks a lot bro. I'm the dude that got the G.I Joe 50th Anniversary Eagle's Edge 3-pack, Heated Battle and Marksman sets today around 2:00 pm. If you are that loser that browses through these threads and hits up stores early everyday to stash HTF figures in places for later on, well, just hope I don't see you doing it (seriously, I don't play around...) Also, I'm seeing repackages like crazy at the Beltsville Target location off of Cherry Hill Rd. and Calverton Rd. WTF people, these figures are the cheapest things you'll buy while going out running errands. Why in the hell would you exert energy in repacking them just to get back $10 - $12 in your bank account? Do you not have a job that pays more than $10 a week?

Blackman, glad you noticed it to. We need to be vigilant in the Columbia TRU. Was soooo pissed when I saw all of them show up this week, caked in wax. The ML/ASM Skyline Sirens particularly made me mad, because there were multiples, and I had been searching for those for awhile.
I haven't seen many repacks in the past year or so around here, but have come across a few when traveling. Usually our area (Columbia / Owings Mills / Towson) is ok about that.

Someone repacked an Amazing Spider-man 2 figure with an Amazing Spider-man 1 figure at the Crofton Target but for some left the extra set of hands and the build-a-figure piece.

If anyone is collecting the Action Packs / mini-joes, they are on clearance at Walgreens for .97 each.
