I went to Target yesterday morning because the one near me in Pflugerville got series 49 of course by the time I found it Emma was gone and there was five of everybody else so I go to the other target that's by my house and have somebody look on their little hand scanner if they have any more basics since they usually get the same thing the other store does just a day later the ladie Scans for me and said they don't have any...I go well I'm early I'll come back in the morning I go this morning there's still nothing out I asked the guy just and he's like we got 52 in the back and they've been there for 2 weeks well of course the one lady has no clue from the day before but that's okay.. cause I'm going to be first to get these new ones so go grab them from the back for me so all they have on the shelf or 25 basic 44 just Shelf warming....he returns from the back with three boxes a Battle Pack 33 Box..and 2 more boxes of basic 44 so they were about to hang up another 50 basic 44 and I pretty much told the guy I don't even put these out there not going to move you have 25 that have been sitting here for three and a half months why do you think putting another 30 to 40 of the same one out is going to help you and even his manager was like wow that does seem a little excessive...so I don't know what's more frustrating that I went there the day before and the person completely lied to me cuz they didn't know how to do their job or that the person who was there And did do their job had to bring out the same ones that have been there for 4 months

Its target.
People need to stop losing their mind over the employees there.

People need to stop losing their mind over the employees there. not so mad about the employees mad that things that should have been out for 2 weeks have been sitting in the back and now you're going to break out toys are going to sit there and shelf warm and you will not get any new ones for like 4 months because your inventory won't go down I know it's not the employees fault that's why I really don't care I care when you have a scanner you scan and you just say oh no they're all out when they clearly weren't all out |

I have gone through rsc for just about every other elite series and I've bought about 4 exclusives from them.
I also go through retail. Target mainly, but also Walmart and tru sometimes. Oh, and occasionally on Amazon.
This is part of what I like about the hobby a little. It can be strategic or just preferential where and when you buy.
I've been hunting exclusively target recently and now the reports of sting at Walmart will have me hunting there. I also have 2 stings on preorder from tru (25.99+free shipping). I have e37 on preorder from rsc and I'm waiting for e36 at retail.
I do like the service rsc provides in all tho and I'm very glad they're an option

And people wonder why I was so glad not to work at Target anymore namely the customer service desk. When you already got to deal with the usual crowd of housewives trying to return used items for discounts or money and collectors calling every 5 minutes looking for toys (because Target sells more than WWE you know), that desk was a nightmare. I get people are looking for toys and want to get it before it disappears but stalking won't make them bring it out faster. You want results? Go complain to the shift manager or store manager. If you ever been in the store warehouse of a Target, that place is a nightmare with new stock coming in regularly and old stuff getting lost in the mix. Also not everyone in the store knows how everything is stocked.

I'm not seeing in your post how RSC is better than Target?
Also, aren't these all the Targets that have had the Hall of Fame/Horsemen sets that you've been buying for everyone that has been hard to find for most? Because they've now not had something you want you're going to crap on them?
B49 has just slowly started to come into the stores. Coincidentally, @barrettbarrage texted me and picked me up an Emma less than an hour ago from Target.
Also, to touch on what bootxparty said, its Target, its not WWE Toy House Junction, they may be imperfect or spotty when it comes to stocking figures. Also, the employees, unless they're WWE fans themselves could care less, because I'm sure Nerf/Lego/WWE are all the same to them. In fact, I haven't seen any store in the US really stock figures the way Smyths does in the UK.
Its like people in the Sting/Wal-Mart thread, take a deep breath, you'll find your figures.

so I don't know what's more frustrating that I went there the day before and the person completely lied to me cuz they didn't know how to do their job or that the person who was there And did do their job had to bring out the same ones that have been there for 4 months They DO THEIR JOB! The problem is people like you have to make a scene about it being a peg warming set. The stores do not pick what series they want, they simply just get autofilled orders of figures in. If its a basic wave, it'll just be a basic sku, same with HOF having their own sku, elites, etc. Employees at retail do not get paid enough, nor the respect they deserve when people make a scene and act like its their fault they don't have a wave that literally just popped up at retail. These people, which most of the time have NO IDEA what wwe figures are, let alone half the crapthats out in todays stores, but they try. Though some employees can't be interested in helping, thats understandable, but sometimes, they have things they are working on, or have to do and don't have time to check. |

With the way Mattel's distribution is anymore, you're better off buying from RSC

I have yet to not see at least 2 of every figure at retail from elite 25 until now, and I have a stressful full time job, girlfriend and pet. Rsc is a last resort for me because after tax and shipping exclusive hbk cost me $36, I don't go to retail unless it's easy for me to go look and I use my brain. Also target employees don't care about wrestling dolls just like they wouldn't care if some random house wife wants to know why the target across town had grey hand towels and this one doesn't |

Everything I really want I order/preorder through RSC. When I go to Target its not because I'm really looking for something (other than the HOF series) it's just to see what's out and to pick up figures I was on the fence about or had no intention of buying. I never get my hopes up when I'm searching at retail.
