So in your example, it could very well be the employee just didn't want to go back and look, or it could be that they might have just stocked them from an internal shipment and put out the only figures they received.
Just a follow up to my Wildrider hunt from last week. Well finally got him last night. I do believe Tf-fan that it may be the case that Target may not always get full case packs, btu I now know, this one did, and I was simply lied to by multiple lazy employees, and just had to fins an honest one to do the right thing.
AS mentioned previously, they got the whole case last Thursday 9/15. Unfortunately this particular store only has 1 peg at the moment for Legacy Deluxe (because they got an influx of S7 taking up 3 or 4 pegs)... Anyway, we all know a deluxe case has 8 (in this case 2 of each for wave 2). When I went on Thursday mornign they had an old W1 Primce Arcee, 2 Tarantulas, and 1 Elita from the new case (leaving 2 WR, 2 Knocktout, and 1 Elita n the case in the back).
When doores opened, the lady said "I dont backstock toys" which was a clear lie. Later in the day both my son and daughter asked different employees who told them simply there were none on the back.
Fast forward 6 days to last night (09/20). I went in shortly before closing. ON the one peg was a Knockout, Elita, Tarantuals, and the old Prime Arcee (meaning in 6 days only 1 Tarantulas had moved) There were no employees around, so I asked an employee in electronics to page Simeone to toys. Instead she volunteered to assist me herself. She scanned the tag, and asked specifically for which one I wanted (meaning there were obviously more in the back). She came out with the WR case fresh, no issues.
I'm glad I got it, but its mind blowing the games you have to play. I know the employees dont care, and its not their job to know what sells and what doesn't, and obviously there is some room for variance in the plan-o-gram since every Target and Walmart are different. Every store should have at least 2 pegs (which fits a whole case of
for Generations Deluxe mainline, but I guess that's just me.
