I Hit The Transformers Jackpot At Target
I do a lot of Transformers shopping at Target. There’s one right around the corner from my house, so it’s easier to get to than the nearest Wal-Mart, and they usually keep a good stock of figures. Transformers sold very well over Christmas, but I was surprised to see that my Target wouldn’t restock afterward. Two weeks later, surprise gave way to aggravation. Three weeks later, aggravation gave way to righteous fury. Put some new stock on your damn empty shelves already!
I guess that they were holding out for the annual inventory check, which was last weekend. Then at last, I found stacks and stacks of Transformers cases of all sizes at Target. It had been weeks since there was anything on the shelves, and my obsessive-compulsive side took over. I ripped off the tape on the nearest box and peeked inside. NEW ANIMATED TOYS! I tried again. NEW ROBOT HEROES! Before I could stop myself, I had opened four cases… And then I got caught.
A clerk rounded the bend and sternly told me that I was not allowed to open the boxes. I explained, happily, that I already had, and look what I found! I asked if I could keep them, and she said that as long as I had already taken them out of the case, then I might as well take them. Big smile. Like she was going to take them away or something! But I was pretty sure that there were more cases in the back, still waiting to be looted by me. I would be patient, for now…
So I came back later on in the evening and found that all of the Transformers deluxe figures were restocked. I couldn’t decide which ones to get, so I got ALL of them. I picked up Hound (with Ravage), Cyclonus, Smokescreen (Prowl repaint), Cheetor, Dinobot, Starscream (Classics repaint), Animated Blurr, Animated Swindle, and Blazing Lockdown. I was so happy that Target finally replenished the supply that I forgave them for making me wait over a month for my fix.
