Lol in those situations give them the 6-digit R Web # listed under Additional Info with the item on their site. That way when they are lazy like that you give them that number and it will tell them if they have them. That way they can't lie to you. I hate lazy employees with a passion.

When elite 3 first hit, i walked into my target to find 1 Cena sitting on the pegs, I had to go through 3 employees who weren't worth their paycheck, before i could get someone to look for me. The last person I spoke to was a manager. I told him how it said "more in the stockroom" on the scanner and I'd like to buy the whole set. And he swore up and down that "it's only going to be 1 figure back there". Sure enough he goes back and radios to the girl employee I'm standing with and says "which one does he want there's 4 of them". I said I want them all. and he brought them out. I got all but Christian who I guess an employee bought. I can't stand when these people straight up lie to you.
KB Toys was another one. I'd go in on truck day and they'd have the back room LOADED with boxes, and I could see boxes that said the series on it that I wanted just glancing in there like "Ruthless Aggression 25". SO I'd go to the front and say I'm looking for new wrestling figures-and they'd say "whatever we have is out", then I'd bring up that I could see a box of them in the back room, and they would say "You shouldn't be looking back there, it's the same stuff that's out on the floor that's why it's back there". I just gave up. I hated those lazy fukcing KB Toys employees with a passion. So glad they all ended up jobless and the store closed on them. You treat people like shit, it'll come back to get you in karma, and their karma was being unemployed!!!

They are useless. Idk why its so much work to get them to help u find the items ur looking for. I don't get it. When I worked at KB Toys back in the day, I loved being able to help somebody find something or make somebody's day. It wasn't like I was asking her to MAKE the figure or drive to another store to get it for me. All I was asking was her to get it from the stockroom. I guess people don't like to be asked to DO THEIR JOBS at work, lol. But it was pretty sweet satisfaction that she had to go and get the Triple H for me anyway, clearly caught in a lie, lol. I also worked at a KB back in the day and enjoyed helping people. I think a couple were sleazy scalper types, which I didn't enjoy, but being able to help customers is what the job entails! So good for you getting your fig.

I've been using the Toys R Us website to see when the Exclusive Triple H would come in stock at my store. It finally showed as IN STOCK on Friday. I went there after work only to find NONE on the shelf. I asked an employee if they had the Triple H and she said no. I showed her on my phone that it said that it was IN STOCK at the store. She tried to tell me it must have been an error and they they didn't get in any WWE stuff this week. I went home really aggravated and decided to go on the Toys R Us website and just for the hell of it order the Triple H and select in store pick up just to see what would happen. About 45 minutes later I got an E-mail that said my order was ready for pick up. I printed out my papers and headed back to the store. I walked back into the store and specifically went up to the same girl that told me they had no Triple H figures and I handed her my papers and said "I have an order I'm here to pick up". She comes back from the stock room with a Triple H. I look at her and go "Well look at that, looks like they were here all along, isn't that funny?...she didn't have any response. I also used the SAVE15 code online, so I got the Triple H for $16.53... It took THREE TRU employees to find one case of figures last month for me...and to top it off they had them ON SALE, with NO figures on the shelf. The guy who actually brought me the case was like "well I might as well put these on out.." I was thinking "no shit, eh?"

My mom was out of town over the weekend and checked a TRU for me. She got that HHH and then they had Punk and Cena for Build Heyman series. She asked if they had more in back, they did, and some other guy brought the box out to her. She said she still needed a Bryan and Lesnar and the guy tried to hand her one of them and didn't have a clue and she was jokingly, "That's not Lesnar, this one is. I know my wrestlers." The guy got pissed and stormed off leaving the whole box with her. She said he smelled like booze and the worst BO ever. She did good that trip!

Is this at all unprecedented? One of my two Pick-Up-At-Store HHHs was a COO head swap! It must have been an inside job, right? There's double tape on the package, but it was delivered to me in the clear plastic bag at customer service. At first I thought it may be a factory error, but now I'm sure it's not.

I haven't even found this figure yet - and today, truck day - I thought might be the day. Instead, they removed the tag that said "WWE EXCL" or whatever... now it just says it's for regular Elites.
Does this mean they're not getting it? Or they're just tired of having one empty row? It was still empty, anyway....

If I had to guess, they probably won't put them out yet until the Big Book promos start. I've only seen them once at 2 different stores 2 weeks ago and haven't seen them since. Just give it a few more weeks.

I had a lady at walmart lie to me Sunday. That's one of my biggest pet peeves right there having worked at retail. I legit SPAZED on a woman the other day because fellow member msd posted in the mass findings that there were several cases of e23 but only two machos. Seeing as the store is a decent drive away I figured id call the Walmart to have then hold it for me just incase. So when I call this nice sounding lady asks what I'm looking for, I tell her toys dept. and she then proceeds to ask what specific toy I was looking for ( which I ing hate when the customer service rep asks that, it's not like they will be the ones looking) so I tell her elite macho man randy savage flashback. About 5-10 mins go by and I'm still on hold, the same lady finally answers back and says "hello this is Walmart"meaning she obviously completely forgot to even patch me through. She then said "uhh yeah we don't sell that, try back around Christmas" which is when I went apecrap. I flipped out on her screaming how a buddy of mine just found cases there and how she just lied to me point blank. She pretended to be stunned and said oh I'll go look again to which I said you and hung up. Thank god there was still one there when I got there. With traffic it took an hour but well worth it. Needless to say. I hate when I'm lied to by a retail worker.
