You know what is weird, since last week, ALL the MU figs from my Target were bought out except the older comic packs.

I think they got the new wave and some duchebag scalped them all....or rabid parents bought everything for Christmas, which I hope is the case!

I talked to a retail store owner before Christmas about how that happens, and he said that he's not sure about big chains, but he has to pay taxes on his entire inventory at the end of the year, so there's a lot of incentive to get rid of stock in any way possible before Jan 1st.

His plan was to donate 50% of the stuff that hadn't sold in 6 months to charity.

Could Target be doing the same thing?

I've noticed the exact same phenomenon at mine. More than half of the crummy stock is just plain gone, replaced with nothing.
