I do something even better. Early in the morning when I see the trucks backing up to the dock, I walk over to the truck as it’s being unloading & search for WWE Mattel boxes. I open boxes (employees are in my way. Rude) & walk out with what I want.

They have the CAP 2 Crew go inside the trailer to unload it. |

I’m working here looking for figures. Rude I tell you rude. |

Man, I thought you were hardcore. Pulling boxes off of pallets? Child's play. Real ones know the only way to find anything these days is to let yourself into the backroom and start pulling boxes 'til you find what you want.

He and this guy may have been separated at birth: My story starts about 3 days after the Series 2 shipments started to hit Walmart. I secured all of Series 1 already, and had the base 6 of series 2 and 3 already as well so I honestly had the AEW line out of my head at the moment. A buddy hits me up on that 3rd day and said hey man you been hunting lately? I havent, and thats where I messed up. I didnt know that Series 2 would be worst than series 1 with people now hip to BRICKSEEK on a whole other level. These things would be gone within minutes of it being in stock on brickseek. He and another person both snagged chase Mox in seperate Walmarts so it seemed they were in the first cases that arrived. After that I started to track brickseek and as stated above, within minutes they were gone, out of stock, unless someone snagged a chase then it would be 4-5 I believe]. I resorted to driving 100s of miles into the mountains where it would just start snowing [Im a city boy] to find a few fresh cases with NO chases. I even went into the back of a stockroom to look but it was actually ON the truck and they werent lying for once lol. [I checked back the next morning and brickseek said 4-5 or 5-6 meaning someone snagged the chase, I was sick. I ended up driving to multiple states, hundreds of miles for nothing. All in all, I gave up and offered a pretty penny to about 46 people on ebay [yes 46!] for a chase Mox. I ended up getting one there, and its been about a week and brickseek has had 1 case in the whole state since. So idk if I made a good choice or not, but I can sleep at night now knowing I did what I came into the game in August to do and that was have a full Series 1, and now extended to Series 2. It was a tough fight and I feel accomplished regardless of having to give in to the darkside, ebay. |

This gimmick poster makes me wish I didn’t take Brother Love for granted. Even though he did big league me in banter that one time…

I’ve only done it once about 6 years ago…. the pallet of figures was sitting in the aisle so I opened a few boxes until I found the Bash at the Beach 3 pack of Sting, Luger & Savage….hauled ass to the self checkout with it like I’d robbed a bank or something….turns out I didn’t even need to do that because they were plentiful on the shelves for months

Opening boxes on pallets at Walmart is for crazy people, I'm not a crazy person. Also, thats doing someone elses job. I don't even like doing the one I get paid for, much less someone elses.

Amateurs. I prefer to fly to China and attack them direct at the source in the manufacturing plants. Fresh in the box, mint on card, hot off the press.

Theman, my man, I don't know how to tell you this, but you have become one of my favorite posters on this site.
Every time you start a thread, I know that whatever is to follow is going to make me laugh until I cry.
This is no different. So thanks for that.
On topic, however? I would never open a box. I'm not like that. I don't even feel comfortable asking a clerk to open one if I see it, I'll just do laps around the store until they put it out.
