This is a tad bit off topic but I feel since it pertains to Mattel that it belongs here. Are the wrestling figure aisles messy in other places or is this just a PA thing? I go to Wal-Mart a lot and I always go to the "boys action figure" aisle and find the figures all over the place. No brand is safe, Mattels are opened and thrown on the ground and in the place where Star Wars figures should be and vice versa. The other day I went in the aisle, and started cleaning it. I suppose it's because I was tired of digging through unorganized piles of toys. I re-shelfed everything appropriately, thought about buying a Cena but decided against it, and then left. Has anyone else every done this? Probably not but I'm just asking....

I have done so in the past. It annoys when people don't put things back where they should be, I do it more in Supermarkets than anywhere else though.

Heheh, yeah, I end up cleaning up the WWE section whenever I can. For the most part, it's ok with the occassional figures littered around the area. I usually pick out the best figures and put them at the front of the pegs. I've left Zack Ryders, Eves, Natalyas, Wade Barretts, and many cool figures out for people to find.
I started doing that ever since I found some scattered E4 figures at a Target in PA. I put Kofi Kingston at the front and then I heard a kid shouting as I was walking away. I looked back and this kid was holding up Kofi, telling his mom how much he wanted him and how hard to find he was. The mom laughed and told him to put it in the cart before Kofi ran away. This kid wouldn't have found Kofi if I hadn't dug him out, so it felt nice to help out!

You guys spend a lot of money in your local retail stores. IF you go into any aisle in Walmart Target Kmart or TRU and it's a mess complain to the store manager. The dept. heads in the Toy area are responsible for keeping things neat and easy to find.
Their boss will definately get on them about it.

i have mild ocd i find, or just lack of lazyness where i like to organise things how they should be. either way i find myself doing this in various places, around the house or in the shop. if im round someones i feel interferring in a way but if there's a notice of it i say "ocd, you know " but ive dont this with figure isles before also, but hey they're kids i suppose not every one was told to put their toys away properly so they decide a mess is good enough

I do that in my TRU, when the flex force are put on basics and everything is in shambles, I swoop in to clean it up For a while I was doing that at Target. I would always see Flexforce, elites, and Legends on basic pegs. This was during the period when my target was completely sold out of basics. So I always "fixed" everything to try to show the employees there were no basics. Many times I see employees randomly place items on the pegs. One time there was a baby doll in the action figure aisle at my Target. It sat there for days. Are you telling me not one employee noticed that?

I clean the certain isles I browse. Wal Mart is esspecially guilty of messy isles though whenever other companies have messy isles I still try and keep it clean.

Depends on the store, but sometimes it can be pretty sloppy. I've organized things from time to time, figure if I can help make someone's day a little bit easier with just a little bit of effort, why not go for it

There was a point in time when I used to go to Wal-Mart, get a figure, clean the aisle, and they would let me pick a free soda! ;D Now I do it because no one else will.

Yes, I always rezone them to make sure everything is in the correct spot otherwise I feel it won;t get researched properly and new stuff would never come in.

I put things back in order. Like at my nearest WalMart... instead of restocking the Basic 2-packs... they filled up those pegs with the Smash Scenes figures. So I just take them all down and move them. lol.

Sometimes I'll find a figure at the end of an aisle or in a different aisle and I'll put him in the right spot but thats about as in depth as I'll go.
