These conspiracy theories about Target employees stealing figures to sell on ebay have to stop. It is believable that employees are taking the better figures to sell before they even touch the shelves. There have been many times when I have found a fresh case put out with the same figure missing each time. I find it hard to believe that one figure get bought but none of the others every time that set gets put out. |

Oh yeah it's true employees do take the figures and sell them for themselves I called and luckily they had Liv Morgan and Sonya deville in stock but I only wanted liv the lady said it would be upfront at customer service when I arrived the guy could not find it figure up there and told me his self that they had an employee there that collect WWE figures and he knew the employee that grab the item from me so I asked him to have the lady come up front and show him where the item was and she said she couldn't find it, long story short he gave me a 15 dollar gift card for my trouble there are employee scalpers.

These conspiracy theories about Target employees stealing figures to sell on ebay have to stop. I literally did this years back as a night stocker at TRU. Not to sell, but for things I wanted. So why is it so hard to believe people do this to profit? |

So why is it so hard to believe people do this to profit? Back when McFarlane SPs started I worked at TRU in the 500's..(Stockroom/assembly) and we had employees that went through EVERYTHING...hotwheels, wwe, power rangers, star trek...i was happy to get the left overs of anything that was not cherry picked...our TRU store policy was you could hold any items you wanted until payday, if at the end of close Friday, you didnt buy it, it went to the floor |

That's... pretty scummy. No wonder I never found anything at value in a TRU ever... Heck, no wonder nobody I ever knew IRL found anything at value in a TRU ever. Well, except that one time my friend found The Hurricane (The wrestler, not the figure)... |

IDK if it's an employee stash, but today I found Paige and McFarlane's Arrow nicely hidden behind some large Jurassic Park toys.

But was the guy a scalper or a collector who had already claimed it, which is his right to do as a paying customer as WELL as an employee of that establishment. |

Got an employee at the local target that 100 percent is scalping figures /Holding them for his friends .Yesterday they were putting out a brand new case of Elite 71 and he kept Paige and Ohno plus the Chase bella and Drew Mcintyre. That store is a pain in the ass to deal with .Yet I found a Jim the Anvil at another target this morning .

In a lot of retail stores you can get fired for stashing. At a shop I used to work at I'd often put items on the register shelf if a customer didn't want it. My manager informed me that those go in the gobacks bin and never to stash!

When I worked at Walmart I would work the early shift, I would always check the toy dept before I clocked in. That's how I acquired most of my flashbacks. I never resold any or scalped.
