Oh man, so I went to Target yesterday morning before work. No Marvel Muggs - On a whim I told the toy attendant that I called the store and the new Marvel Mugg stock had arrived but was in the back. He called the stock room and after 10 minutes they told me No, and that I had "mis-information." Ok... so I come back after work (same Target) and there's 1 Doc Ock and 1 smashed Thor sitting there. So I was right! If only they hadn't lied to me and brought them out in the morning...

I went to one of my local tru's that I've scored about 6 or 7 stormtroopers from in the past few weeks. When I went there yesterday I saw a horrific sight. They had 18 star wars mighty muggs. All of them were regular Luke and Obi Wan Kanobe. I didn't like seeing that because they definitely won't be putting any new ones out and maybe they'll decide to order less or not order any at all anymore. Oh yeah, I've also been getting a lot of crap from some target employees. I've gotten two different stories from two different targets. Both of them had star wars muggs in the back so when I asked the guy to get them from the back one told me that they can't bring stuff out until the next day and another told me that they can only pull out the same one that I had scanned. Pretty weak.

Pretty weak. what a bunch of bull crap.... you need to talk to a manager. I never waste my time with any stock worker.

I always find my ways in getting stock down in Target. I have a few friends that pull stuff down for me, and if they're not working at the time, there's ways on getting around the "collector policy." Just gotta experiment, and know your business.

I feel the pain with most of these woes. One I haven't seen on here is when I go to a walmart or two 30-45 minutes away from my home and find a dozen Muggs, but my own home walmart (which is 5 minutes away) doesn't even carry them!!! There's not even a spot designated for them to sit!!! And they've already gotten their "fall shipments" in!!!
Woe is me.

It is too bad when you go to the store, mugghunting, and you see a mug you need, you grab it only to discover the box is crushed..................and it was the only one of that guy left. I have had that happen twice. is too bad.

do any of you just run into a piece of paper walmart usually leaves out with the diagram of the isles? i have ran into this a few times and it will outline what toys go where but i never see new muggs being placed into those spots.
probably the biggest mugg hunt woes is scalping by employees.

What's up with all the Hulks? Did they make more of them because of the movie? Everywhere I look there is a shelf full of the little green guys.

Newest ane woeiest of the woes. I am now up to two WalMarts near me that dont have shelf/peg space or pricetags for ANY Mighty Muggs. The one WalMart has a lone Lando hiding in the 'we can't sell this miscellaneos crud so we'll throw it all on one shelf' shelf. It's so very depressing.

FReakin scalpers man, seriously. Ok here it goes
I get up early and hit walmart, and theres these three i always see, and it seriously pisses me off and this happened like at least ten times this week. I get there right, andy then I find them buying all the muggs, and then i head to the target near by, and the same three are buying muggs, so i head to a tru and the same freakin three, and what pisses me off severly is that when i get to the store and they arrive at the same time they start to walk faster and end up running toward the toy section, and im like WTF. Freakin A man, damn scalpers and the thing that pisses me off theyre at my collectors society highjacking the prices up and im like thats some f'd up bs man. THIS IS THE WORST
