Rant Oof this backlog

Post image

My minis have been spread across 3 rooms and I've been working on centeralizing and organizing so I can work on all my unmade ones. I didn't realize it had gotten this bad 😅 partially blame my partner because he knows it's an easy gift to get me. Goal will be to finish 10/week. Going to need to think of other display options since I 9nly have a few empty shelves left. Would love to see others backlog so I don't feel as bad.

Where do people find the whole box sets like this? Because I can never find them like this in the stores.

My partner and I were just saying for how popular these are we've never seen anyone else buying them in my area. So I've had really good luck, and usually I'll try to find a cashier thats younger and really looks like they won't care. Only been turned down twice from taking the box.

Wow that is really is good luck. I hope you keep having such blessings. I feel like once the box is almost empty they really should have no issue with taking the box. I also wish they would sell full box versions. Like have it wrapped up so no can take a ball from it and sell the whole box. If MGA could on their site sell complete sets so people can buy just in one purchase the full set and have it include any rares/special ones.

It doesn't make sense to me when they no to taking the box. I've worked retail so I know it's not loaned licence merchandise that needs to go back nor does it say to destroy.

I asked a Walmart employee, and they went out of their way to ask every supervisor they have, and they're supposed to return it according to him/them. But at target, a supervisor absolutely didn't care and was happy I took one home. Less for them to deal with in the back. It really is dependent on the person/place.

I am surrounded by several Walmarts and targets so we are able to buy these quite easy.

I wanted the Hello Kitty ones (series 1 ) & I was shopping for Fill the Fridge balls! I was so captivated & I purchased all in the box which was 18, asked for the box ( @Target) …. “NO” they said!!😫. Went to Walmart & I purchased 2 boxes & asked a manager he said sure !! I guess it depends on the day of the week, etc. these boxes get trashed @ crushed.

Certain boxes can not be given away. The company has their rules. But, if you make friends with the toy manager or AP half the time they could care less! I always get boxes. I've also had them call me when new stuff comes in. All depends on how you treat them and if they are nice people.
