So I went to my Target for some pet supplies (got 2 cats and 2 dwarf hamsters) and I decided to check out some figs. Now I never planned on buying this Cody as I was content with my fixed up E13, but after I saw sale tags all over the WWE section reading "Temporary Price Cut 8.99" and that it had the updated correct kneepads. I had to bite. Now it rang up at 20 bucks so I told them about the signs and a worker went and checked for me, he said that I was correct and gave me this awesome fig for less than 10 bucks. Stores must take blame for having tags in incorrect places, and I'm glad they did that for me today. This figure is awesome. I personally think the jakked body mold works for him, he is pretty damn defined in real life. The amazing coat/duster accessory and the addition of the perfect Kneepads makes this figure one of the best elites of the year. Just as his E13 figure was last year.  Here's the two best friends!  Here is E20 compared to my fixed E13. I think I'm going to do a headswap as I'm not too fond on his goofy smiling look  |

That's awesome, went to target today also, didn't find any E20 other than Punk. They were selling elites here for 12.99 though.

People sure do seem to feel proud about themselves when they lie to save a few bucks on a toy. Just because the tag is on the wrong peg, if you actually READ the tag it says that the $8.99 price cut is for figures regularly priced at $10.99, so in other words, NOT Elites.

My nearest target is merchandised and all the tags are correct. The other one in town, though, has merchandise on the wrong pegs, and sale tags for 8.99 on the Elites. The tag says basics, but that would be down to employees to make sure it is on the right product, otherwise, regardless of the customer knowing or not that it's incorrect, it's the store's responsibility.
I'm not saying to be that guy and willingly rip a store off, but it should be down to the store and specifically the employee who was tasked with tagging the shelves that night. A simple 'hey, employee A, there were some incorrectly stickered items in the toy department. Please be more careful in the future." Nobody gets in trouble and s*** gets done right. These threads have popped up several times. I can vouch that many stores have tags on the wrong products. Happens at my local TRU a lot as well. I don't like people ripping stores off, but I also don't like employees who do half-ass jobs and take home the same pay that hard working ones do, and that is definitely a huge factor in these stories.
EDIT: To distill this down and not sound like an a-hole, I mean all this to say that this is an entirely preventable problem. Sticker the correct item and then the fault goes on the scammer. Sticker the wrong one and you can't. And I have worked several retail jobs that had me placing sale tags. Slow down, pay attention and stop texting and facebooking (these are all things that I've seen other co-workers guilty of) and it'll get done right 99.9% of the time.

so is the knee pad a running change? Indeed it is. And what a difference it makes. It turns the figure from a 5/10 to a 9/10 in my books. |

My Target has a couple of these and I forgot to look at the knee pads. I may go back tomorrow and snag one. If I do, it will be the first full set I've ever gotten. I want an updated Rhodes to go with Sandow and the tag titles. But I was thinking of just going with B27. I'm over Team Hell No by the way.

How is it lying? Most stores policies say they will honor incorrect price tags.

How is it lying? Most stores policies say they will honor incorrect price tags. If the item priced is the Same sku. A basic tag on an elite is not something they have to honor since sku and description on tag is not what is on hooks. If the tag mistakingly said elites 8.99 then yes they should/would honor it. If it says basics 8.99 but had elites on the peg they would not / don't have to honor it. |
