Are street dates on sets good or bad for the community.

Seems to be a Target thing as opposed to a Mattel thing. Though it would seem the vast majority of stores didn’t sit on Legends 8 due to the street date. Seemed to only be an issue if someone asked them to check stock. Once they were put out they weren’t locked out at the register.

I want to say the Network Spotlight set also had a street date for the first series that Target got. Or maybe I’m thinking of the Royal Rumble set.

Street date or not, the employees have the power to sell or scalp

If I was still looking for L8 and their inventory showed more in the back I would go.

I’m going in less than an hour, if I don’t see them on the pegs what number do I give them to look in the back? Do I mention the “street date” being today or is that our slang?

I had them take legends 8 away from me at checkout because of street date. Same with some Star Wars two weeks ago. They shouldn’t put it on the shelves if it has the street date.

Even though they have the same dpci ones in the back (New assortment) are supposed to flagged in their system when they come off the truck. I think it has to do with the barcode on the case. And those are supposed to be held on their reset pallets in the back. But sometimes there’s an employee who unknowingly puts them on the pegs so they will ring up without an issue. It’s only when you ask them to pull it from the back will they see the street date in their system.
