    I thought he found it though? Didn't he say he found it at the Alexandria Target?

    Germantown Walmart has a bunch of wave 2 potp which is fine and better than burning garbage. Not much in the way of other stuff.
    Target hasn't done anything yet. Like nothing. They still have a halo figure with the transformers. Also no new gammorean Guard or marvel two packs. They did however have two wolverines and a purple haired psylocke. That I moved from the opposite aisle. Sigh.

    This is why brick and mortar stores are failing...they need to reevaluate their return policies so they stop losing money...I hate people that do this

    Can’t someone at least look to compare what is in the box vs the picture on it?

    Nope, it would require "specialized training". I only know this because I've spoken with managers when I find returns like this. They would have to train 5 or 6 people to know what to look for, but in doing so, would have to pay them more and it's less costly to just take a loss on the item.

    It doesn't happen enough to matter to the bottom line, and the item is eventually shipped back as defective, sold to someone else, or just junked as a shelfwarmer anyway. It's sad, but the company prefers to have returns go smoothly, instead of causing a scene. That, and how is the customer service rep supposed to prove that the customer was the one who bought the item, swapped the contents, and "returned" it? The customer could claim they received it this way. The item is clearly incorrect in the box? Well, it was given to them as a gift, it's not their fault it's messed up.

    Obviously that's crap, but the amount of time and money an investigation to prove otherwise would take (along with the simple fact that the person bringing it back doesn't necessarily have to be the one who bought the original, if both people are in on it), it's significantly easier to just take the loss and move on. They could refuse the return in the first place, but that would be a whole extra hassle, especially when the packages have "contents may vary" printed on them. It's dumb, but it's one of those things, you know?

    In other news, the White Marsh Walmart has a Rippersnapper and a couple of Wave 2 Dinobots and that's more or less it. Oh, also a bunch of Stockades and a lone Ratchet.

    Target in Columbia had 2 Alpha Trions on the peg, nothing else new.
    That said, if anyone wanted an Alpha Trion, I have an extra now

    Nope.
    Negative stuff in Bel Air Target, but Aberdeen has a sole Rodimus Unicronus.
    Aberdeen Ollie’s still has 5 TR Overlords if anyone needs them. That seems to be it however.

    Arbutus Walmart has a Hungrrr and an Elita if anyone is interested.
    Edit make that two of each. There is another set in the overstock shelf.

    Cyberverse figures have been stocked at The Abingdon Target. I picked up Ultimate class Megatron and Optimus, and warrior class Shockwave.

    Owings Mills Target had Cyberverse figures. I saw Ultimate Class Megatron (1) and Optimus (3) around 5pm.
    It also had the Marvel Studios 10 Year Anniversary Legends figures. This included Avengers 1 Iron Man, Infinity War's Iron Man/Thanos/Dr. Strange 3-pack, AoU Captain America/Crossbones 2-pack and AoU Hulk(with chest hair)/Hulkbuster 2-pack. These figures are basically the studio series equivalent for Marvel Legends figures. Also present was the multicolor deadpool 3.75 inch Legends pack.

    Liberty Rd/Randallstown Walmart had SS Megatron and Brawl. I didn't check to see how many there were. Only PotP Wave 1 though.
    They also had the pretty much the entire Marvel Legends Infinity War Wave 2 (Cull Obsidian BAF) line on the shelf.

    They do any POTP restock? I unfortunately caught them mid move of the toy section last visit.
