Ok so I freaked out when I saw Thrashard found BP22 in Lynn. I ran to my phone to call Lynn and they put me on hold for 10 minues and then hung up. So then I cal the Salem walmart andthe SAME thing happened. So at this point I was ready to drive to the locations and yell at a manager. So I went to Lynn and of course I couldnt even find any help in the fn store!! The two Cara/Reys were sitig there and I wanted someone to scan to see if there was more intheback. Wel there wasnt, but it came up tha there were FOUR in the store somewhere. So I looked high and dry for the missing two and of course didnt find them. If anyone does plz let me know!!! Im sure its Ryback/Jinder as Thrash got the Dolph and the two sin caras were still there.

I kinda wanted the Jinder and video camera as well. But if worst comes to worst and I never find it ill buy Ryback off ya. I also REALLY want Vickie and the blue briefcase, Dolphs nice too but I already have 4 dolphs haha.
I actually just spoke with a store that said they're getting in a fresh case of BPs overnight tonight. Fingers crossed its BP22!!

The place was pretty empty compared to just Saturday where they had two full cases of E21... those were all gone except the Rey's and Orton's. The place was a mess, I actually found the Dolph/Vickie pack somewhat hidden, but still in eye sight so Ryback/Jinder could have been there, but I searched pretty good and saw no indication of it. |

Damn Thrashard you find everything huh?!?!?!?!
It's funny cause usually I'll go to Walmart Lynn on my lunch break on Monday. The one day I don't go and they have that HA!
Anywho last week when you found Basic 30 I ended up going there and picking up a Santion, Horny, and finally Daniel Bryan!!! Thanks Thrashard!!!
Also yesterday I saw it posted in the forums that BP22 was on Amazon for store prices so I did pick up a Vickie/Ziggler and a Ryback/Jinder 2 packs. They will be here on Wednesday. So no hunting for now.
One more note. I went to Saugus Kmart tonight and they had a giant sign promoting that if you buy $30 worth of figures that you can get the Wrestlemania chair for an additional $80. It was weird seeing that giant sign hanging there months after Mania has passed.
Kmart also had all of Basic 22!!! I picked up the only Christian. There were a ton of Jerichos, Cenas, and Ryders. 1 Mark Henry left and 2 Booker Ts. Also they had the Kmart title series, only Kofi Cena and 1 Kane. Lastly they had all of Deluxe Impact series 8. 2 Morgans, 2 Hogans, 2 RVDs, 2 AJ Styles, and 3 Stings!

I know dude, I'm on a real hot streak right now, usually I don't have this kind of luck. In most cases my luck usually consists of ordering something online for a few bucks more then running into said figure in stores everywhere shortly after. My wallet is burning right now though... especially after your last post! I just ran to Kmart Saugus right when I saw you post that! I'm a big TNA fan and the line is hard to come by, especially all the guys you listed above. Wow, never though I'd see a Hulk Hogan figure on store pegs anytime soon. I picked up a Hulk, Sting and Matt Morgan. I already got RVD and AJ from there earlier in the month. I asked two different employees if they had any more in the back at various times and a guy pulled out another RVD and AJ last week lol. Those were complete cases two full ones, never seen those out there like that. I think all the stores are doing inventory right now which is why it seems like everywhere is replenishing like crazy. If anyone finds a Jeff Hardy anywhere keep me updated! There were a few RVDs left if anyone wants one, probably gonna be a while until his mattel figure, may as well get what you can. Thanks again dude! My first complete MOC series of any line haha  |

Well now I can finally shut my mouth about BP22!! I woke up at fn 7am and drove up to the Salem Walmart seeing as they told me they were gettng in a case of BPs on the over night truck. Got the only Dolph Vickie and one of the three Ryback/Jinders. The other two are still there so hurry before they're gone!

Congrats dude, I know how much you've been wanting them. What do you think? I wasn't even planning on getting Dolph/Vickie, but when I saw it in person I thought it looked worth it just for Vickie and the blue briefcase. Dolph is ok, but pretty useless if you have E19...
How is Ryback in person? The paint job looks awesome on it.

Oh man I love all 4 figures. Jinder blows his B19 out of the water. I love all Dolph basics and the Blue Briefcase looks so good on him. Vickie is perfect the likeness is incredible and Ryback is just amazing. The paint job on the singlet is flawless and it pops out so nicely.
All in all I'm happy to finally have them. Now on to the Vince/Punk BP, E22, and Ms. Rosa

My streak at Target Everett continued today as I saw these two gems on the shelf’s today… When I saw the Ryback one last week I chuckled I’ll admit, but these sitting there pissed me the F off so much. I was lingering around the toy aisle hoping to find an employee since they had a new E21 Del Rio, to show the employee what the real one looked like, but no one was around and I just left… I wasn’t gonna waste my time walking up to the counter with them even though I kind of wanted to. I get the feeling this waste of life lurks these boards as well. I wonder if they could scan the packages and see who returned them? It’s just unreal, I’ve never seen stuff like this in the area at such a high rate:   |

I know Chip… like I said I was lingering around because they had a fresh E21 Del Rio so I wanted to show someone what the real figure looked like so they could take them off the pegs, but no one ever came and they probably would have treated me like I was nuts any way.

Yeah its getting way to common in this area. What is that peg supposed to be for? Does the everett Target really charge 12.79 for basics?! When I bought my B30 Bryan there last week it wasn't that much.

That's terrible and for 1 orton says its t shirt and there is none and del Rio says with scarves ,either employees don't care cuz they don't get paid enough or some of them gotta be plain outright intellectually- disabled pardon my language there but if I needed them figures I would b pO'd to c that!! No new findings for me to report I haven't been on the hunt much lately I'm caught up untill e22 bp23 ,rosa mendes and the flashback rumblers warrior and Austin

there HAS to be some kind of shenanigans going on with these....Target's return policy specifically states: Open or defective collectibles (e.g., sports cards, special-edition Barbie dolls, porcelain dolls, action figures and die-cast cars) cannot be returned.
refund/exchange policy
Most unopened items in new condition returned within 90 days will receive a refund or exchange. Some items have a modified return policy that is less than 90 days. Those items will show a “return by” date under the item on your receipt or packing slip and in the "Item details, shipping" tab if purchased on Target.com. Items that are opened or damaged or do not have a packing slip or receipt may be denied a refund or exchange. All bundled items must be returned with all components for a refund.
how could you....as a PAID employee of a company not bother to check items when being returned. whoever did should be fired. it should not be that easy to get away with fraud. it takes literally 2 seconds to read the package of Orton & see "includes t-shirt!"....but there's no shirt in the package which clearly means it's been opened. we've got to put a stop to this, if you see stuff like that in the stores you frequent, take the time to bring it up right to customer service, tell them what's up and let it be known to them to look out for people returning wrestling figures. there ARE enough decent collectors out in our area, we gotta stop this bullshit.

These switcharoos are getting rediculous. If I ever get to a point in my life where I need money that bad and need to scam stores out of $15 - then it's time re-evaluate. I think whoever does this doesn't do it for the money, they do it for the recreation of getting away with it and then seeing there old figures on the shelves for unsuspecting customers. I think it's safe to say that Target is not going to fix this problem - its not worth their time clearly to train their employees properly.

Yeah it really is on the same level as ripping the figure out of the box and walking out of the store with it. Its all stealing. But even talking with those embarassingly careless employees won't do any good. I've thought about it before, but the kids that work retail/customer service just don't give a rats ass. I've been calling stores lately to try and save time/gas but I end up on hold for 15 minutes before either getting hung up on, or just hanging up myself. And that is through the same exact customer service workers who return these items without looking twice.

In the store employees defense, they are being paid basically minimum wage by a faceless corporate giant. What do they care if somebody sticks a Carlito in a Honky Tonk Man box and returns it for their money back. The real problem is adults thinking it is okay to do this - okay to pull this with CHILDREN'S TOYS. Makes all of us legitimate collectors look bad. No wonder why we can't get people to help us in these stores. We get reputations like this for a reason....
