Don't all the figures from a while back that don't get purchased get stored in the back? If they do, it would be cool to ask the manager if you could get a peek at some of the old waves that had a lot of treasures.

I've seen a few jems pop up months and years later but I think for the most part half the crew purchases the good stuff sometimes I can get a hookup since I'm more of a marvel u guy. I got the taskmaster deadpool set there I had the fantastic four Spidey doom set as well as the single card version of Spidey. One guy said as soon as they get aou vision hell text me to come get it and keep it in the usual spot. Small section of the bike section has a rack that lifts up where goodies are often stored.

I prefer using an old car club. You know the silly anti theft lock. The hook on the bottom makes for a good leg sweeper to insure s target doesn't escape.
