found a set of masters of the wwe universe(plus a 2nd balor) at walmart in westfield. they also had about 5 or 6 of the rings. wish it had been the ring/figure combo, but oh well. i bought the lone triple h. there were also basics ad battlepacks but i didn't take note of which ones. no elites at all

Wasn’t Aiden, but big case at my local target. Dude working there was creeping on me and said they just got it in. So either that dude is a nutcase or Targets distro centers were doing clean outs and sent cases of stragglers. There were also random older marvel legends all of a sudden on the shelf too Having seen it so widely spread (because of work, I typically manage to explore a good 40 mile stretch of stores), paired with the fact that E65 has been hitting hard at discounters, I'm perfectly willing to accept that this is what's happening. I suppose the better story is the nefarious deeds of others, but with how common this is looking, I'm finding it easier to believe Occam's Razor in this case. Well yeah I’ve seen discounters get plenty of E65 fresh cases, I just don’t understand how all these Aiden Nia and Ronda’s (no sign of EY Roman etc) ended up on a cart full of returns at the front service desk, rather than a case that came in through receiving in the back room. That was only my personal experience though. Also trying to figure out how we got a random influx of Tugboat figures on a return cart yesterday as well. And I had to bring a e73 Bryan returned with no belt to the security office. They need to just change the god damn DCPI already |

That may be either a slight exaggeration or a slight underestimate. |

Still see remnants of series 1 kicking around South Shore. Mostly Asukas but even some Jinders and Diesels.

I got a picture of Tugboat in the customer service returns area to send into corporate AP. These scumbags are about to get stopped. These are not cases being shipped to target. This is a group of individuals in the area  ing stealing |

FWIW, Mattel is sending out some weird case assortments, even if it doesn't explain the Tugboats and such. Yesterday, an employee opened a sealed case for me in Salem, MA and it was packed with four E70 Finn Balors and four E70 Seth Rollins. That might at least explain the influx of specific E65s showing up, as those are appearing en masse across the country.

Can double confirm this, one of the local ones to me (I believe Woburn but I hit enough that I could be mixing them) had the same case count on one of the ones they got. |

They are being returned loose to front customer service desk counters. This I know is a fact. |

It wouldn’t be this widespread if it were someone returning stuff and they still ask for an ID. So it wouldn’t happen |

I’ve worked a Target 3+ years and know how it works, I’m also a dedicated collector who’s sick of these little tricks repacks scapling collectors editions etc , and I’m not gonna sit here and make up conspiricy theories for the of it. I know what I’m talking about. It could either be someone who works as a driver all around New England, could be a trend that some Facebook group of New Englanders have started , regardless , I’m 100% certain these are returns. I have proof. There no other areas with this issue either. Who else in our 200 mile radius area is reporting Tugboat Ronda Aiden Nia restock at Target ? Come on guys. |

Several targets have 5 plus Nia Jax figures rotting away. |

I worked with said guy for several years. He has no reason to lie let alone even bring it up to me. 200 mile radius makes sense, seeing as all these stores would be using the same distro center. I‘ worked for target for about 6 years. Was the head of a department. I know how it works. You can only return so many items without a receipt and they wouldn’t be getting the full price. It would be the lowest price it has been in 60-90 days...so those tugboats would be getting returned and based on what store he’s going to, but be getting only $7 for each figure. I highly doubt some dude is wasting all this gas just make a few bucks. Warehouses and stock rooms always clear out this time of year and we didn’t get an assorted cube the past two years. So these figures are rotting in a warehouse somewhere |

So these figures are rotting in a warehouse somewhere None of this explains why they are all starting in the guest service returns area , and then making their way to either the shelf or a back room location. These are not coming in cases in trucks through receiving , they’re just not. Depending on the location and how many s the service desks workers give , there is no limit on how many items can be returned without a receipt. Until I see a fresh unopened case delivered with e65 or Tugboat , I’m not sure what else I can believe |

My opinion would be they’re all returns. With how much E65 went to Big Lots, definitely. Not sure why someone or multiple people would have a ton of Tugboat, but I don’t see how Target would have old cases of just Tugboat.

I'd also back the theory that Nia and Tugboat are scammer returns.
