Ok so my quest for Ryder continued yesterday. I went into a TRU and saw they had E9 but of course no Ryder/Miz. I asked 1 of the guys working there when they were going to get a shipment and he checked and said possibly today (Friday). He said of these go quick cuz these "collectors" come n grab em. So me and a buddy of mine decided to get up early and Woo Woo Woo bring home Ryder!
We get to TRU around 930 and there are these 2 Fat dudes already waiting outside, and me and my friend both had a bad feeling about this. So we wait and get in and there are just mattel boxes everywhere, so me and my friend race toward the WWE section and start tearing them open as do "the other 2 guys." They already know whats in each box and they start opening and pulling out all the all the Slater/Christian 2 packs.
As I'm opening the boxes I spot a B11 box and open it looking through it for Eve, and sure enough they go who u looking for, I go oh i'm looking for Ryder. They're like oh ur not gonna find him in here. As I pull out Eve they go She's only 1 per box.
I ask them if they are collectors and they go "yeah something like that." These guys knew what was in each box be4 they even opened it. So I took Eve, not cuz I needed her but I didn't want them to get her. So sure enough (like they said) no E9 boxes or L5. I ask a TRU employee if they could check the back and he goes whatever is out here.
So we left and decided to hit 1 more TRU. We get there and on the shelves they had another Eve and 1 Slater/Christian 2 pack. I grabbed them just incase those guys showed up. I went to Customer Service to ask them to check to see if they had any E9 and the lady was very helpful. She said they didnt have any but she could check other stores for me. And as we are waiting who else shows up? None other than the 2 Fat Chumlees.
As we are waiting they are trying to see what figs I had in my hands. So the lady checks the computer and says that 1 store had a case in the back and sure enough it was the TRU I WAS JUST AT!!!! They told me they had none in the back when I was there!!! F***!
So as the dudes are walking out empty handed they go I told you ur not gonna find him. Good Luck.
Now I'm irked. So while the lady was calling the other TRU to see if they still have Ryder and the dude comes back in and walks up behind me and goes "Oh I have a Ryder in the Trunk If You Wanna TRADE for the Slater 2 Pack." I gave him a dirty look and SAID NO! He goes "Ok Fine" and walks out. Once the lady got off the phone the other TRU no longer had the Ryder, I wonder who got it! HMMMM. I don't think ppl just randomly drive around with Zack Ryder figure in the trunk unless ur probably Zack Ryder!
I know ppl can do what they want with their $ and buy and sell figs, but to buy the entire stock with the intent of selling only to make money pisses me off. No wonder I can never find these figs. It was their demeanor that pissed me off the most. That they tried to trick and discourage me so they could get what they want and make $ while some1 who clearly needs it won't get it. He knew I wanted Ryder yet the only way to get him was to trade him a 2 pack (which costs more). How about u just help ppl out. Screw them! No matter how bad I wanted that fig they obviously needed the 2 pack more and I refuse to help scalpers.
Anyways I hate scalpers and I know there are bunch of you guys who want these figs so I'm selling them to you at RETAIL PRICE + SHIPPING. Not Looking to make a dime so if you need an Eve Torres or Slater 2 pack PM me and I will charge you exactly what I paid. Sorry the story was so long but I had to share this with u guys!
