Oh no this is BS....complete and total. Placing a limit on collectable figures is one thing but refusing to sell is another. Buying several of the same figure is for the purpose of scalping. Buying one or two of a single figure is another. They should also flag some figures as ok for multiple purchases. No, corporate should be made aware of this.

This is retarded. So now we are lumped together with a collector's #1 enemy. That's like saying we're all Joes. Why did Hasbro have to make Target exclusives? If it wasn't for that I would have no reason to hunt there anymore. Thanks for the heads up. Once I have those exclusives, MY Target days will be done.

Why stop going to Target, don't visit every day and you won't get pegged as a scalper! Limit your visits, has anyone ever heard too much of a good thing is a bad thing! Look chances are they won't even follow that rule! ;)

BTW, scalpers or resellers are in no way stealing money from Target. They had to buy the damn product at Target in the first place. There is zero logic there. In a sick, capitallisticly spoiled way, the resale takes away a potential sale. While there's a lot of ands ifs and buts in this logic, it's retail logic which never makes sense. It's the reason I left it. But anyways, they think if they have a few empty pegs then people will buy nothing and storm out. |

I think he was screwing with you. I know a hardlines team lead at my local Target personally. The only thing he has ever said about any type of toy people are
1. Nobody in the store likes Hot Wheels collectors 2. They will limit how much you can return in a given period of time (so you don't buy a bunch of crap and try to return it later if it doesn't sell). 3. It's true they won't stock if it's already on the pegs. They will go in the back and look for more if you ask though. |
