Maybe if Target would stop going on a clearance rampage 2 weeks after they get the stuff, and be more like Toys R Us who never puts anything on clearance, this shit wouldn't have happened.
Now we have idiots all over the country hoarding & stockpiling these thing just so nobody else can have any. These were originally cancelled because the previous sets weren't selling well enough. (Hence why they were clearanced) |

I remember around here wave 2 was hard to find. It was selling pretty well. The Jetpack & Snake Armor were hard to find, didn't stay on the pegs very long. Then after they marked them down on clearance they put out a shit load of them. Every store was flooded with them. Maybe they should have put them out BEFORE clearance??? Of course the crap isn't going to sell well when you hold it all in the back. Same thing happened with the Rhino & Wedge's X-Wing. Never saw'em on the shelves until after they hit clearance. I remember seeing a bunch of X-Wings marked down on the clearance endcap but never saw one in the regular toy aisle. I didn't want the Rhino but I kept checking it anyway. The DPCI number said YES they were in the back room. But there were none on the floor. They were in the back for weeks. Rotting in the back room when they could have been selling. Nobody even knew they had them. Last edited by Steelgrave; 12-26-2010 at 07:37 PM.. |

I never saw Snake Armor wave at one particular Target until the Mass Clearance of Joes back earlier in the year. Up until then, it was just dozens of gliders and ninja cycles and the same guy telling me that was all they had in the back too everytime I asked...
I think what killed this idea was the assortments. Always two fairly desirable troop builders and two alright primary characters in equal allotment in the case itself. The assortments should've always favored the troop building in a 1:1:2:4 ratio. But that's just me. |

Yup! Same thing happened here. Maybe if the dumbasses actually put them out BEFORE Christmas so people could buy them they wouldn't have canceled wave 3? |

There is some truth to what you guys are saying. Working for target the last fifteen years I have witnessed first hand the things your saying. The rhino for instance is a prime example. It was an exclusive that was originally supposed to be an endcap item. Many stores in my area I would go in and it was not set. It really depends on how good and aggressive the department head in that area is. Things get taken down off endcaps all the time and have no home in the aisle, so they rot in the back.it is a sad thing.
