Hail to the King, Baby.

We don't have Target stores in Canada, so I guess all I can complain about is not getting the Target exclusives (but I heard that Hasbro Canada will try to get said exclusives to Canadian retail at Zellers). Hasbro. (sigh) You parents out there will know what I mean I say that I feel not so much angry, but disappointed in Hasbro. As bad as they mess up, I love 'em and I'll keep buying shit from them, no matter what (Transformers, GI Joe, Nerf, Star Wars... the bastards have me by the sack!). That being said, their QC, distribution, screwing of Canada, and batshit retarded decisions (Breaker-without-his-'Breaker-gear' with the RAM instead of Rock N Roll? Steeler without his Tank Commander helmet? Urban Camo Cobra trooper instead of a HISS Tank driver with the Target exclusive HISS?) piss me off. |

I know what you mean. I remember taking a bus into downtown Montreal, then getting a subway to the end of the line, then walking about a kilometer to an non-connected mall (the kind where there a buildings and you have to drive from store to store rather than the building with a bunch of shops in it), and spent a whole afternoon walking around looking for Joes. I left empty-handed and wasted the afternoon and transit tickets. That sucked. Now I only go out of my way to stores to get stuff if I have confirmation that there's stuff there. I made a similar run to pick up the first wave of Classics 2.0 when I read and got confirmation that they were at a walmart in Montreal off a busy highway. It was worth the bus/subway/walk to get them figures! |

I only have one Target in town (surprisingly), but I have another one in a town an hour north, and I have 3 or so in Myrtle Beach, SC, about an hour south. If it wasn't for their exclusives, I would never step foot in Target. The anymosity they show towards the collecting community is disgusting. What I don't understand, is that it is very apparent how they feel about collectors, but why in the f*ck do they continue to persue toy exclusives? As far as the employees themselves, you get that everywhere no matter what company. Your town, Cuy, just appears to be filled with douche bags that like to work at Target. |

I know, I was so pissed that I bought a bag of candy on my way out of a walmart just so I wouldn't feel as bad going home with nothing. What sucks more than crap stores, having to travel to get to crap stores, and having doucheholes working at crap stores are exclusives you want at said crap stores. And man I hate exclusives! |

Damn, Boss, if you replace Target with Walmart, you got what it's like out my way. I got 5 Walmarts near my house; 2 are 5 min away, 1 is 10, and the other 2 are 30, and they all suck for toys. And 3 of those 5 are REAL hostile towards collectors. Hell, I've seen some stockers open cases of new toys just to start throwing and kicking them up and down the isles. Freakin' sick man. As far as zombie employees at Target though, yeah got 'em here too. And not just for the toys either, last week I was lookin' for the brand of diapers I get for the boy, and the shelves were bare. When I finally found someone, it was like pulling teeth to get the freakin' diapers, it was insane. I mean, I know working for the public sucks, but come on. My kid needs his shit catchers, it's not like I'm asking for you to solve the problems of the world. UGH!

Numbers that sums up my travels to target 99 percent of the time.
My local walmart I don't even bother to ask the employees anything. The wall would answer quicker. The one in Lancaster I mentioned, their nice and helpful. The targets, holy smegging shit. I would rather my balls twisted in a pair of tongs while being boiled in bleach, then ask them something. They look at you like your asking to tell the future or some shit. The Lancaster one has some really helpful people, but still crappy on toys. All in all paris hilton is smarter than employees at target.....     |

Bingo! Yeah, I just get tired of hitting stores only to be sold out. Plus the fuel, plus the time, which I find I have less and less of every week. Not only that, but the price increase from retail stores, it all about breaks even now with ordering online. |

No no, the Ultimate Battle Pack, the one I've been spazzing over. Shameless copypasta: The pack is a Target exclusive (one of you fine gents will please to being help me get one!) and contains 3 vehicles and 7 figures. Vehicles: - Red HISS - Cobra Commander's Personal Blue Trubble Bubble - MOBAT (still motorized, bitches) (There's also a JUMP in case you count that.) Figures: - Cobra Commander (Battle Helmet with stripe) - Sword Destro (no cape, but chromey vav-metal helmet) - HISS Driver - Cobra Vehicle Gunner (Grey and Red Trooper) - Stalker w/JUMP jetpack unit (he used to use it often in the comics) - Steeler in beige outfit (not sure why his stand isn't 'correct' like his Armadillo release) - Short-Fuze (Original 13, bitches!!) Needless to say, this pack is godly. Link to pictures: http://www.cooltoyreview.com/story/front/Hasbro_GI_Joe_Ultimate_Battle_Pack_Coming_To_Target_117882.asp |

Ok, starting to hate Target just a bit out here lately. Nothing new at all, but my faith may be renewed when the new Classic Combiners are released. They're Target exclusive. |
