I went back to the same store today. Same story, same employees. I called the customer hotline again and escalated the call. I told him I wanted someone to call the store to tell someone to sell me a toy. He was aware of the situation and tried to tell me about the the release on the 26th and the store date of 8-1 and the online release on 8-14. He called and got put on hold and they never came back to him. They have to call the same number the customers do to reach the store. He sent emails to the store's leadership about the phone call and the release dates. He sent another email to corporate leadership about fixing the problem in the hand held devices. He also stated that numerous emails have been sent to all the stores regarding the actual release dates and that if employees would look at their email instead of the device, they would know the actual situation. I went back in. The same employee had done some research and admitted that this was all messed up. She went to get everything from the back to put on the shelf. AAAAAAND its all gone. She said there were supposed to be 5 cases of figures in the back. Nothing. All gone. I advised her that at least one staff member is putting them out the back door if they aren't being put on the shelf and no one is buying them. She took my name and phone number and is going to call me IF they get more figures.

Stopped by 8 Targets on Saturday. None had any out for sale but all had pegs. 6 of the stores were willing to check in back and verified there were 0 at the store (but would have sold them). 2 of them were going off of the 8/14 release date and refused to even check (but their scanners showed 0 in back, 0 on the way) and neither seemed to be swayed by the sources of the bumped up release date or the fact that they were already showing up on ebay. 1 of the stores had already put them out earlier in the week and sold out, but also had an estimated restock dates for Roadblock and the Cobra Trooper (arriving on separate days). That employee was super cool and said they wouldn't get put out until the next day. I'm not sure if I will try to get those as this has been a lot more frustrating than fun.

Randomly stopped at Target today.
6 Roadblocks, didn't look for tags. What is the case assortment on these if all that was left was 6 Roadblocks? |

I went to three Targets in West Michigan on Saturday and inquired with an employee about the fourth location (saved myself a trip). None of them had any stock and the employee even told me there were none on the way. I was quite disappointed and frustrated once again since I am seeing these figures pop up on EBay at 3-4x the retail price.
Similarly, I went to Walmart to look for the new MOTU Origins figures which also had a street date of 8/1 and no luck there either. I'm really not fond of the toy industry at the moment. I feel they care very little about getting their products into the hands of fans and that they are satisfied with just having the sales. |

I just jumped into collecting because of this line and it has not been kind.
Is it always like this with Hasbro exclusives? |

I had a Target tell me today that they have 6 Cobra Troopers in the back but they are for "8/14 Preorders". Ridiculous, stupid fib. Still need Roadblock surprisingly and as it's been said, no sign of Baroness yet.

My 2 closest Targets only ever got Roadblock in. No Beach Head, no Troopers, just RB. Even without the whole street date fiasco, there still wouldn't have been proper levels of product out there for people.
