Glad to hear your victory but I still don't understand how you let someone get away with taking something out of your kids hands. If a fellow adult even considered putting his hands anywhere near my daughter or something she was holding he'd be in desperate need of a 25th mail in doc

I was in the video game section buying him a game I knew he wanted while my teen aged daughter was looking after my boy, When they found me and told me what happened I started looking for the guy when they saw him through the windows in the parking lot driving away. I told the manager what happened and asked if they had anymore figs. in back and they did so they gave my boy first choice. I confronted the guy later and he had the nerve to try and sell me the figure he had snatched.Let's just say store security had to be called and leave it at that.

You did good but you should have misinformed him and told him that Buzzer and Shippies are selling like hot cakes.
Amazing what some people do. |

Last week I had a nice talk with a scalper who came up to me to ask questions about the Joe line. I've seen this man grab 50 Star Wars figs. of the pegs and even out of my sons hand once. So to my surprise he comes up to me and at first says he saw the Target exclusives and wanted to pick them up fo me. We had a long talk before(fig snatching from my boy)and I told him before I wouldn't pay anything but retail for my stuff. Then he starts with the questions about the 25th line, I knew where he was going with this so I tell him the Joe line is diffrent from the Star Wars lines, wrestling lines and hot wheels which is what this jerkoff sells.The Joe line is more about characters and if you try and get into it all he's going to end up with is a bunch of peg warmers becuase all the real collectors will get the good stuff so don't even try getting into this line. this guy walks away a little pissed off and little did I know a manager from TRU was listening in and tells me this guy has given them problems in the past and that it's made them change the times they put out figures.This guy thought I was a scalper too, because I'm in the store so much(I'm out of work with a back injury)long story short I now have truck days and a times when they will put Joes out. So maybe I can put a dent in these aholes profits.
F**K YEAH! |

This doesn't count as a scalper thread?

If he had snatched something out of one of my two boy's hands one of two things would have happened - The smart side of me would have found someone in management and told them I saw this guy shoplifting The dumb side of me ( and the more likely to react side ) would have snatched if back out of his hands and asked him if he wanted to pull a stump back the next time? :( A-holes, man I don't care, that's BS, you DON'T snag something from a little kid. What is this guy a moron? Doesn't he know the rules about baby bears? ................don't mess with them, b/c where there is a baby bear there is SURE to be a BIGGER bear! Douche bag. :( .

Had a SW guy try something like that with my son a few years back (my son was 6 at the time & had picked up the last SW Target exclusive...some jedi set with the bald sith chick) The guy actually said"Let me see that"!" & reached for it. I was at the endcap & stepped around the corner with a I'm going to feed you your own arm look on my face...The guy just looked at my son, up at me, turned on his heels & headed the other way. Scared my son a bit.
