Just got home from TRU.
The only stocked up figure I came across was the TRU HHH. While thinking if I should purchase it, I was looking at the rings and found an E23 HHH hidden behind a ring! Since I was at this tru earlier this week I didn't think they any e23 come in. I was thinking they had the rest of e23 in the back, so I asked and the guy tells me that there is 3 more figures from the same series sitting out on shelves. I went to go look and there wasn't any! So I had to hunt, move boxes around and no luck. I am very happy to add e23 hhh to my collection but I wonder who is hiding in the store. Now hunting for that undertaker. (Hope he wasn't hiding around)
All my tru had was
E18 wade Barrett
E 22 Tensai
And the shelf warmers Tru Sheamus. There was like 6 of those.
Anyone ever stash figures so you can get to it next visit? It's evil haha

If I see a figure that I want and need to wait a few days to buy it. Hell yes I'm hiding it. With all the scalpers out there lately these days I'd be stupid not to.

I don't want to make it sound like hiding figures is a bad thing, but it's evil when someone's hunting for it knowing it's there. Haha And it does beat the scalpers. Wish someone would scalp those sheamus figures

I don't hide figures, but I do enjoy when I find hidden figures. If they are ones I want I buy them, if not I put them right in front of a peg. It will either make them stop hiding stuff, or make them find better places to do so.

I always have money available, so no need to hide. But I do find some that are hidden sometimes

I sure would be angry if I went into a store looking for a certain figure, and I missed out - because it was hidden by someone who didn't have the money to buy it....
I'd be really angry.... this is a bad practice. I have a hard enough time finding these things with the poorly stocked stores - I don't need other "collectors" making it even MORE difficult.
When I find hidden figures - I place them back on the shelf.

Hiding figures is pathetic lol It's always adults that do it too, I've personally seen a guy grab every figure of a new series, run around a corner and be back with nothing a few minutes later to look for more figures. Also, there's all the figures I uncover and return to shelf whenever I go shopping, even if they're hidden in another department. Crony collecting is not helping the state of our hobby lads. if you can't afford to buy it on behalf of your friends, just leave it for someone else to enjoy, they'll appreciate it and the stores will replenish the figures like they're supposed to. |

Yes, I do, but it's a last resort. More than once I've hidden a figure and come back a couple of days later to find the shelves reorganized and the figure gone. Obviously, I have no moral problem with it, but it isn't always effective.

I usually don't go out to look for figures unless I know I have money to spend. So no, I don't hide them for me. If I actually got asked by a forum member to hide something I would, but not for me. I see it, I buy it.

I buy em if I see them. Only time I've hid a figure is for another member to go get or for me to go back later and get for a trade. It's more of a hassle to buy it then return it if the person changes their mind imo.

In the past I did back when I had to buy ra, da, classics, two packs, three packs etc. on a good day, there would be so many must haves that I could have easily spent 300+ those days are long gone. I'm lucky If I can even find one figure that I want now. Forget about 10. Also, my finances have improved to where if I ever got so lucky as to stumble across five or six elites at one time that I really wanted, I could just buy them on the spot with no hesitation.

If I know I have to wait a few days, I take what I want to the cashier and ask them to simply hold them for me until X day (my nearest TRU store is happy to hold items for up to 4 days for a customer)

I have never hidden figures for myself but I have hid figures for other members of this board. Especially if they have a far drive ahead of them.
