EPIC Indy Toy Fail
Anyone been finding Indiana Jones stuff today? Here's my tale so far. -
"WWWWAAAA!!!!!! Went to a Super WM about 15 mins away this morning, walked around for a bit to find an employee, found one in housewares and asked for a Toy Dept. person. She said the main toy person wouldn't be in untill 1:00 today. She called the stand-in woman three times, she never came. She called a old man named Zeizel, who told her they wouldn't be out untill Saturday. (I first argued with her that May 1st starts at Midnight, and a release date for may 1st midnight means April 30th/May1st.) I then walked to the end of the isle where he ended up walking by me. He asked me if I was Indiana Jones person, I told him yes, and that the release date was the first of May, and that I was glad I didn't come at Midnight. He told me they had them, but he "had way to much stuff out to release them." And that they would be out Friday. (What happened to Saturday old man?)
Left that WM and called my local WM. The lady told me her boxes said May 5th, and she wouldn't put them out either way until then, because of the Toy reset for Iron Man and Hulk. I went anyway, and made the sporting goods page the old woman anyway. She came and stood at one end of the isle, while I stayed at the other end, and yelled at me on what I wanted. She told me the same thing, but the only reason I had her called was to mess with her either way.
Called Carlyle WM, and asked if they had any Indy toys, its to far away to go anywhere this morning anyway, but I got the answer of "Uuuuuuuu, ummmm....Ya, we got a couple."
Called MT Vernon WM and got into an argument on the release date. I said the release date was May 1st, the lady literaly shouted "NO, its the 9th!" :angry
Called Fairfeild WM, and the lady said "How'd you know!? I was putting them out right now!" which is an hour and half drive away.
Called OFallon Target, and they also had them, but again, and hour or so away, and price is also a wee bit more than WM.
But oy, Wal-Mart employees....Of corse I relise calling isn't the best to find out what a WM has, but still, I can't go an hour away this morning :angry"
So much for cherry pickin' 'em today.
