[Trivial Psychic]

Just picked up the order I made this morning for Rogue. I decided to roam around the store for a bit and look for the shipper, when I noticed it nowhere on the floor. Curious, I pulled up the figures on my app, and the "pick up at store" option was still available for all of the retro figures...so I inquired about the rest of them with a Target employee. She explained that they were in the back and not on the floor, and happily went to the back and grabbed them. As she handed me Gambit, she quickly explained that they weren't on the floor simply in an attempt to try and control the supply flow and enforce the "one per customer" policy for the ad, due to some abuse of it in the past, and thanked me for not being pushy or rude about it. They were also able to give me the BOGO with my pickup (which is actually buy 2 get one free) so I was able to get a free Cars Hauler for the kiddos.

Whether or not this is something only being done at my local store is unknown, but it's worth noting. If you are hunting in person, and don't see the shipper in the aisles, pull up the ad, show it to an employee and ask politely. While stuff being kept in the back always raises an eyebrow with collectors, your store might be trying to battle scalpers in a similar way by keeping them on an "ask only" basis, and of course, you're always more likely to catch flies with honey over vinegar.
