Ok, so I was browsing through a website that posts Star Wars figure related news, and I came across this- which is related to WWE figures. www.jeditemplearchives.com/content/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=17732#shadowbox/0/So Target is now putting up signs in the WWE figure aisle with strict guidelines about buying figures? What!!?! Now, I don't live in the United States, but I frequently go to the United States to shop (Very short drive from where I live in Canada), and there is a Target right by the border. I shop there somewhat often. If these signs are at that target, I'm gonna be mad. "Store members cannot search the stockroom for guest requests" ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I've gotten so many figures from that Target store by asking employees if they have them in the back. At least it may help control scalpers though. Thoughts?

Man they don't search the back anyways, but haven't seen this but then again not that many people that hunt for wwe in my area. Sucks if this is happening everywhere though

That's what I call customer service! What I see is 'Don't bother us with your silly requests because we will not help you'.

I remember they posted something similar when the HOF series first came out. Nothing major. Just find someone willing to help.

Hell the only time they ever did to me was back when Hasbro had the DC license and had a Target Exclusive 9" DC Superheroes Superman and Unmasked Batman figures. They had Superman on the shelves but I was looking for the Batman so I asked an employee to check and they said they were Collectables and they couldn't look in the backroom while pointing to one of those signs. So I asked the team leader who went into the back and got me one. This was at the Target in Woodbridge NJ across from the Menlo Park mall.

Yup. Been seeing that for years. I know many don't like it, but it doesn't affect me much. I very seldom buy multiples.

They should add. We do have the right to limit quantities sold, except for four horseman and Tito Santana.

Target employees grab WWE stuff from the back for me all the time, they are usually very helpful.

Target has been doing this since the mid to late 90s when the 3 3/4 Star Wars line first started up again. I believe it was 1995.
Not only that, but some Targets had employees take hole punchers and put holes in the cards of the more rare figures... That way moc collectors would pass them up and kids and other buyers would have a chance to get them.

It's not a problem unless you're the type pf person who is planning to buy 8 Finn Balors. Just be nice to the employees and not harass them everyday about certain figures' availability and quantity.

I've seen pictures of that sign posted on message boards for years, but I never actually saw one in a store.

I think the last time I actually saw the signs was when the last of the prequils to Star Wars hit.
