Scored all three sets at the Target I was at this morning. Had been waiting for the door to open from 7:30am, went right for these first thing. Got a set for myself to keep MIB and another to open, the third is for my friend Chuck who always helps me with the Disney Droids, so he can help collectors overseas.
Got accosted by a “white knight” collector with a New York attitude, while I was at the self checkout register, because I was buying them all, he even called over the manager who, for a few minutes, I was worried would cancel my purchase. The manager made some remarks about how he hates having collectibles and how scummy eBay sellers come and clean him out whenever the items hit the shelves.
I am tempted to call Target Corporate offices and file a complaint against him, this guy used to be the manager of a store 40 minutes North from me and is a total jerk.
I didn’t engage with this guy until my purchase was complete and I explained to him I never sell on eBay (which I don’t) or specifically buy to flip online, and that I help other collectors all the time. Hate it when stuff hits and it’s the summer season and the North Jersey and New York collectors are here for the week renting out a beach house.
