 Message battles are so silly. Lmao! Glad you finally got your cookie. I personally wouldn't choose any of those. But that's just me! But seriously yeah they are, all I'm saying is if it was a problem with the store then they would of said "sorry we can't hold them" but they didn't, so it really doesn't really matter. I hope you found E22 Giant. |

Those cookies do look sad.
I ordered the Giant from RSC, then a week or two later he's at every store.
It was just really annoying seeing him in store and not being able to buy.

I only ask them to hold one of each figure I want not two Cesaro's etc. cause I want someone else to have chance to get them but, I also don't want scalpers out there buying two of each and then I am outta luck. But its not against the law to ask the store to hold a figure or two for you.. I am just shocked E23 is out so early, I wonder if it was a mistake or something |

I went from not being able to find Giant anywhere to less than a month later only being able to find Giant. It's crazy. Sets are selling out of everybody (well, maybe not Kane at all places) but Giant is still hanging around. I think collectors have had lukewarm feelings about the figure and kids don't recognize this version of Show, since he's always been bald since most kids have probably seen him. I'm mixed about this figure. Because the eyebrows aren't sculpted, they could have painted them a million different ways to have made them look better, same goes for the eyes. There is a great scan in there somewhere, and the hair looks good. The painted on singlet's not a big deal because I collect loose and I'm never taking that nWo shirt off. |

Then you should of called first. And it was 9ish when I called them. They close at 10 and I live 24 minutes from that TRU so there was no way of getting there in time. Especially when I don't have a car of my own. So..I don't see why it really matters. Its a TRU in Illinois, if it was a store in your state then I would understand why it bothers you so much. But again I called first and I asked about them first so... Its really a first come first serve type of thing. Should have* |

I have about 20 stores (between TRU, Kmart, Walmart, Target) but I think The Giant is now sold out. The last round of cases were all Big Show x 2. I agree about the scan and I also like leaving the shirt on. |

I don't have an issue at all with something being held an hour or two. That is fine. Overnight is a bit much.

This thread went from:
1. E23 at TRU
2. Calling stores to hold figures
3. The Giant
4. Language rules
...and somewhere along the way, the Cookie Monster got involved.

Lets say i go around looking for these, but they're holding them behind the counter over night for someone that hasn't paid for them. They're not supposed to do that. Only until store closes, or maybe when store opens. Honestly, the holding stuff is starting to piss me off. When E22 started shipping, the first two Giants I saw were being held for someone by the electronics counter. They should get their asses off the couch and go to the store. Luckily, I didn't have to deal with that for E23. The couch? Perhaps they were at work or in class. |

What he said ^ I call stores all the time to find out what they have, then of they got em, I ask them to hold them and I pick them up within a 30 minute window. This saves me gas $ and time as there are like 50 retail stores working the Phoenix valley that carry them and I'm not about to drive to every single one looking for 1-3 figures. I call to find out which has it and that's the one I go to. The only time I randomly stop in a store is if I'm near one already |
