I went in yesterday, and they had 2 E19 Zigglers on the rack, and not a single other elite. So I scanned the Ziggler and it said "in stockroom: YES" so I go up to an employee ask if there are more in the back, and he goes, I'll scan it. He scans it and goes "the system says all we have are what's on the floor". So I scan it on the price checker right Infront of his face, but before I can show him that he's flat out lying to me, some rude lady cuts me off and starts asking him where the soccer balls are. By this time my wife has had enough. So I gave up. Pop in the next day, and what do you know? A freaking lone E19 Bryan...so missed my chance to get Liz & Brock. But the thing that pisses me off the most is the fact that Target employees think I'm an idiot...I mean if your store has some dumb policy where you can't bring stuff out, just freaking tell me that! Don't lie right to my face! So this problem happen to anybody else?

My Walmart is notorious for only putting out a one or a few figures from a elite case. Ive actually seen a pattern here as well other places..

I went there today and they had the damn Rumbler Rampage crap, Power Slammers junk as well as that glorified dog dish they call a ring for the Slammers, the Devastadium and the new Raw and Smackdown rings. No new Basics. No new Elites. Same 6 figures that have been peg warming for a month or two.

That sucks bro. I would of got another employee or asked for a manager and explained the situation. I've never had this problem at Target before. I have had employees who you can tell were lazy and didn't want to go to the back but they did it because they know it's their job.
I remember when Elite 12 came out they had none on the shelf but I had a the UPC from the bottom of one of the boxes. So I scanned it and I told the guy who was clearly lazy and looked to be under the influence. You could tell he didn't want to do it and after waiting nearly 15 minutes thinking to myself "this guy is gonna blow me off he isn't gonna come back or he's gonna come back and say it wasn't there". Finally he comes back out with the a full case. I grabbed the ones I needed and left.

My target has been out of Elites since mid December. I finally asked an employee what the deal was and he told me that they will order in 3 cases...here's hoping they get in E19 Liz...

The price checker could be wrong... This is the reason why I usually show people on the PDA when it says there's none in the back. Nobody's gonna intentionally be a dick to you...

But the thing that pisses me off the most is the fact that Target employees think I'm an idiot...I mean if your store has some dumb policy where you can't bring stuff out, just freaking tell me that! Don't lie right to my face! So this problem happen to anybody else? You likely missed out on Liz and Brock before that even occurred. Most stores work out what they have to wherever it fits on the space provided. If Bryan was the only one chilling on the peg, then he was likely the only one back there. Target tries not to keep stock in the backroom so you're likely flipping out over nothing... aside from a lazy employee. Technically, it's Target policy to not check the back for stuff like that, which is a policy put in place to prevent scalpers from getting the hot ticket items and leaving the peg warmers on the shelf for honest guys like you and I. Walmart is usually far worse when it comes to stuff like this... half the time they won't even check for you and tell you that there's a case back there but they can't go get it. So you end up torturing yourself over the fact that you know there's something there, but you don't have access to it. My buddy and I have become friendly with a couple Walmart employees in the toy section though so they are more than happy to help us out when it comes down to it. Edit: Also what Smurf said.. the price checker that customers are allowed to use aren't always 100% accurate.

Target sucks, but I hit a walmart 2 hours away today because I was in the area. They guy working in toys was about 130 and told me if they had any wwe figures they would be out. The pegs were completely empty. A few 2 packs and that new junk that replaced force flex was all that was out. I said well can you atleast scan the tag and check? He said if we have it then it would be out unless you can find someone I don't remember the name. So in other words he said no I don't want to. So I go to customer service explain and ask if someone other than that guy can help me. The guy at customer service says yea I'll go look. I follow him till he turns to me and says I'll go out back and look for them. Ok where I'm standing i can see electronic section. He walks back there talks for a couple minutes I look at my girlfriend and said look at this and poit it out to her. Then he walks back and says no the back is a mess they are unloading the truck still all I found back there was legos. What a joke.

I know some people on here has said were Target was selling the WM Heritage line for cheap because they are not in the system. Mine was not in the system but they would not let me buy any either. The funny thing is the girl said "We ordered these last july and just now got them in. That is why they are not in our system anymore." I said ok thank you and left. That Kane is awesome and I had to leave it.

I very rarely ask employees for help or to check in the back. Walmart usually has no one around. Target sometimes has people walking around but i don't really bother and just look to see what is out.

It was pointed out earlier, but it's true. Target doesn't clog their shelves like Wal-Mart. If Wal-mart has more product than they can put on pegs, they usually just stack them unless there's a good employee working (I used to work a different job with the lady that stocks my nearest store and it's the only tidy toy section in town). It's highly improbable that a whole case sold in a day. That Daniel Bryan was probably on a shelf in the stock room on his own, because when they opened the assortment originally there was no room. Most targets after the reset only have 2-3 pegs for Elites now.

A couple of Walmarts I went to this week are resetting, if that's what they call it. So far all I've seen are cases and cases of Lego. Multiple pallets of Lego. Anyways, I can't remember many helpful Walmart employees, messy stockroom was the usual excuse, even when they offer help, I decline.

I loathe Target. I have 2 in my town and they are both misery. The only place I ask employees about boxes is TRU. Everywhere else I'll just end up suplexing somebody.
