NECA - General Thread

My primary Target is terrible about this. They had a display that they were supposed to put out the week of SDCC last summer (July). The figures showed in stock and I went daily for a bit and would always ask about certain ones. They'd confirm that they had them but said they were all shrink wrapped on a pallet and they would get to it on their "next reset" and refused to try to get anything out of if until then. I heard others ask about these figures also. After a few weeks I just gave up on it. They finally put the figures out from that pallet in November after I had already bought them elsewhere. LOL!
 
I too got one of those $25 off $120 purchase today. Basically I just wanted Super Grover and updated Pee Wee, which I assume are $40 each. Are the Sakai turtles $40 also? Might just have to throw in one of them or Herman Munster, since if they're all $40 that's about 60%+ off of one of them.

Grover, Pee Wee, and both Munsters were $38 in my neck of the woods; assuming it's the same for you, you may have to throw in a banana or two to get yourself over the threshold if you find 3 figures.

Fair point. It's getting harder and harder to shop anywhere that isn't run by or supports awful people. But with the toothpaste, at least you can wash the bad taste out of your mouth.

Also, now that Amy Madigan won an Oscar for playing Gladys, can we get a figure of her? Feels like now's the perfect time.

As long as Madigan Madness is sweeping the nation, I'd also like to request a McCoy from Streets of Fire.
 
Went into a Target today and found a gentleman by the name of Tony stocking the shelves in toys.

I asked about the Haulathon stuff on a whim, and my man hooked me up. Went to the back for a second, then came out and asked me like he was a drug dealer "What are you lookin' for, man?"

I whispered "Super Grover, Art the Clown, Tiger Claw". Ya know, to keep it all on the low-low.

"Aight, bet", he said. He disappears for a moment, and I think "He surely won't be allowed to bring the stuff out to me".

But lo and behold, Tony came out with those three things. I told him how awesome he was several times, and went on my merry little way. Didn't want to get too greedy, so I passed on much of the Turtle stuff for now, but...

Thanks, Today Target Tony!

Had one of those as a youth seeking BTAS Harley and Machine Gun Joker back in the day.

The real heroes.

I had a homie like that from the local TRU days. My man was mute and deaf, and people treated him so awful, like a pariah. Would ignore him, pass him by, not spend a second on him. Do what they could to get away from him, and I hated it.

Not me. I took the time to make sure to speak directly to him, facing him when we would speak, and enunciate my words (he read lips really well), and what he wasn't picking up, I always wrote down for him.

And in turn, he would go out of his way to help me out and hold things for me.

Dude was so nice, cheerful, enthusiastic about helping out. He'd get excited every time he saw me in there and would come running down the aisle to me to see what I was looking for.

That was my man who hooked me up with the then sought after Movie Maniacs Ash Williams. I miss that TRU, and I miss that dude so much.

That's a great idea! Had no idea about this figure. Thank you!

Used to have a "Tony" at my Target. He long ago left to a better job, but it was really cool when he worked there.
 
Weirdly, my first roommate and therefore a chunk of our friend group all worked at Toys R Us, and I almost never took advantage of that. Maybe because I was trying to be "cool" and throttled back on the toy collecting in those years. Too bad it didn't take!
