He quickly pulled out a couple of figures he had obviously stashed there before. I didn't quite see what specific toys they were, but they weren't Marvel Legends or DC Multiverse like I was hunting for. I don't know if they were scalpers or if they were just stashing toys until they had money, but it's B.S. either way. I'm going to start checking those little hiding spots so I can raid their stash if there's something I'm looking for.

Every day that goes by, the more fitting I find it that we all call it "the hunt". It's grueling enough to earn the description. :Quote

Well I am pretty sure I am the customer he saw. I don't care for being labeled a slob ( I was in tshirt and shorts). I stashed a Skylander figure in the "Overstock Bin" above the section. Those are Overstock areas that TRU uses to hold what they cant fit on shelves. I check them myself all the time at almost every TRU I go to. ( I was told Skylanders were going on 3$ sale the week before by a employee). I have even taken newer stock down from those overhead bins and placed them on pegs and put old stock up there so fellow collectors can get new stuff because employees would just leave old stock on the main display. I never scalp toys. I help out a few fellow collectors, but never buy something just for the purpose of reselling or making a profit.

P.S. I have been going to that TRU for almost 15 years. I am one of the most loyal customers that store has.
