Similar thing happened to me with that first Deluxe Aggression Jeff Hardy with face paint. That's the only time anywhere said they couldn't sell something though. Quite often, I get a store where a figure won't scan properly, like at Smyths, (until recently) new figures never scanned on the first day or two. They'd always just input a code or scan an older figure of the same line.
It really sucks though to have a figure you want in hand and then be told you can't have it, you have my sympathies.
Once, I bought four WWE figures on eBay from a clearance seller after calling them to confirm which ones they were (as I didn't want to end up with four identical figures). It was meant to be WMH 1 Cena and Undertaker, and elite 1 CM Punk and Undertaker. When we picked them up, it was actually one WMH1 Undertaker and 3 WMH Cena. The guy on the phone obviously checked eBay in more detail at some point and decided he could get more for the elites -- but because he'd only confirmed on the phone rather than by eBay message or the listing, I couldn't do anything about it. He did refund me for the two extra Cenas that I didn't want.

That sucks Mike, which target was it? If it was Medford the manager has been a d*ck to me. I found a E22 Rock with no belt and brought it someone, because I'm a teenager and in a store alone, I got accused of stealing it.

Man, I'm really sorry to hear that. There's no good reason for him to block your sale.

No joke I would start crackin skulls if I even got approached by loss prevention.

Thanks guys. Just wrote a long winded email to Target explaining the whole situation. I even went as far as to tell them I think the guy who asked if I was going to sell it might look to buy it himself to make a few dollars. Ive just never had an experience like that before. I was also purchasing The Blu Ray of Pacific Rim for my son. The was so mad about the figure I put the Blu Ray down and went to best buy to purchase it for two dollars more than what target had it for. F@CK them. It may sound stupid but if they dont do right.by me in some form or another they lost a customer for life.

I had a similiar issue way back in 2010 with the Carlito/Primo 2-pack that I found at Wal-mart. They wouldn't sell it to me either because it was marked as a "re-call" for some reason. I guess it makes more sense to not sell someone something you think is supposed to be re-called over something that just isn't in their system. hang in there though, I'm sure you will find Kaitlyn again. I found the Carlito/Primo 2-pack shortly after this incident.

Target is garbage man, I don't know about in the States and stuff but in Canada it's a disaster trying to deal with customer service. Not really worth the time as a customer as far as in concerned.

That manager deserves to lose his job for what he did.

I would look up the district manager - if you navigate through their website you should be able to find an e-mail..... this is unacceptable. I would be absolutely irate if I found a figure I was looking for and this happened....
I can't believe a store manager would refuse to sell a wrestling figure to a customer just so he could keep it himself....
I'm even more shocked that they would do that for a Kaitlyn....

This has happened to me several times. Its an internal issue with their system. If they cant scan it, they are instructed not to sell it. Unless you get a manager that gives a damn about making a sale and not some absurd corporate policy that he has the ability to over ride, you are SOL. Though if they took your info, there is a good chance they will call you. 90% of the time when it happened to me, I would get a call in a few days and could then buy that figure. The other option is to just open the figure in front of them.

They are idiots. Next time just buy two figures so that they can just scan one of them when the other one doesn't scan.

Ok heres an update. I figured I would go up there again tonight and lie my ass off. I took my daughter and went to customer service. The woman there just got in. I told her they were holding a figure for me. She looked and couldnt find it. Wouldnt you know it right behind me on line was the manager who asked if I wad selling it on ebay. He was.off duty and was shopping himself. He told the woman it was in a locked drawer. He asked if someone called me and told me to come up for the figure. I said YUP I got a call a little while ago. The woman got the drawer unlocked and handed me the figure. I walked around the store for a little while then went by the blu rays. I picked up a movie for myself and one for my wife then as someone suggested on here earlier I went to electronics to pay. Sure as Chocolate Shark the Kaitlyn didnt scan. The guy asked me how much it was. I told him $12.99 he rang her up for $10.99 and my daughter and I walked out the store. Crazy to get your hands on one figure but it all worked out in the end. Thanks everybody for the responses and feedback.
