You've probably seen videos like that before, whether it is on
YouTube or
TikTok: a collector goes to a superstore, looks behind a box of
dog food in the pet section and finds a bunch of
NECA TMNT 2-packs. In another video,
G.I.Joe Classified Series figures hidden in the
fruits and vegetables section. Those collectors are really
lucky, right? Surely, it couldn't be
staged...
ToyFarce investigated...
A few
Target employee told us about a recent interaction they had with a collector (
who will remain anonymous), who was caught hiding figures all over the store, before filming himself "
discovering" them: "
We used to see him every few days. He'd come, grab a couple of action figures, then put them in different places", a Target employee said. "
Then, he would hit 'record', and act like he had just found them by accident while doing groceries."
"
It was fine at first, we thought it was just silly. But then, he started to move entire shopping carts to different places, and sometimes, he would not put them back after he was done", another employee explained. "
That's more work for us, then, and that's not OK. He would do this for hours, probably filming videos for several weeks..."
"I've even seen him do that with his own toys once! He had an action figure from another store in his backpack, and hid it in the light bulbs section", a third one told us.
"
We reported it to our manager, and watched several occurrences from the security cameras, and the manager agreed that something needed to be done. He is now banned from Target in the whole state."

Wait... WHAT IS THIS UNDER THE SHELF? SOMEONE'S STASH?!

Oh maybe next time move the whole damn store to another location lol. David Copperfield would approve it for sure!
Oh I was accused of this when I found someone else's stash which by the way was hidden in the toy department.
I know it is annoying but having your security thugs harass innocent customers is not cool
I think he even followed me in the toy department
I complained to corporate and he was gone as were those stupid "collector warning" notes

I hate it when people do this and it's become so common. If you don't have the money to buy the figure, just leave it alone - very annoying!!
