So yesterday my wife and I decided to drive 2 hours to the closest metro area and go figure hunting. We were looking for various legends(especially series 4), DM HBK, Jakks Velvet Sky for my wife, and the new Rumbler figs for my sons first birthday. After 3 TRU's,2 Kmarts, and 2 Targets we had found nothing. We decided to head home. There was 1 more Target and 1 more Kmart on our way out of townso we stopped. As we were going down the figure aisle @ Target, my wife suddenly charged past me almost knocking me over, almost falling over herself, and knocking numerous toys off the shelf. I looked down the EMPTY aisle expecting to see someone trying to kidnap one of our kids or something. No. She had spotted the Velvet Sky fig and and couldnt wait to get her hands on it. We also found the DM HBK there. We were happy and almost didnt stop at kmart but wanted to just check what they had. In the figure aisle we found the Rumblers that we were looking for but not much else. As we were headed to checkout I spotted 2 large WWE displays. Not expecting much I looked and found Legends 4 and various other new series. I picked some out and went to the registers. We were then informed that they couldnt sell them to us. After 15 minutes arguing with the cashier, the floor manager, and the store manager, and my wife going into full Bitch mode, I got my figures. They were definitly worth the trouble.

Nice pickups. What was the reason for them saying they couldn't sell them to you?

They said that they were not supposed to be sold until today. Somebody messed up by putting them on the floor early. they were not even coming up in the system.

I had the same problem when I bought my 2packs 8 Khali/Hardy set at KMart yesterday. They weren't in the system, but luckily someone knew what they were doing in the toy dept and figured it out and sold them to me. Nice story-I"m on the hunt for that Velvet sky myself. Sadly no one seems to carry TNA figures around here anymore.

Other K-Marts are selling them all over the place, why couldn't this one? Anyways, nice finds bro! Glad you got your figs! -

They said that they were not supposed to be sold until today. Somebody messed up by putting them on the floor early. they were not even coming up in the system. That happened to me last week when I found the display at 2 different KMarts. One store the Legends 4 weren't in the system, so they punched it in manually when I told them the price on the tag in the aisle for the other Legends. And then at the second store the Series 8 2-Packs weren't in the system. So the manager went into the back to check the price and about 5 minutes later she called the front end and said try it now and they rung up.

Nice pickups. I have yet to find legends 4.I asked the manager if he could check in the back and he acted like he did not know what i was talking about.
