Please explain this business with the Stickers.... you showed some old figures still sitting on the shelf and said its because somone put a sticker on it? Im pretty new to Toy Collecting as an Adult so im not aware of all the shenanigans that go on.
@@christophermoody6840 so I think this is what the scammer is doing. They are already buying new figures so they have a receipt. Let’s take the Lady Jaye retrocard that was done. The scammer scanned the Duke retrocard barcode on his PC and printed it out on a sticker(formatted and everything). He applies that sticker on an extra LadyJaye he has lying around. He brings that with his Duke receipt back to target to return it. Employees don’t pay attention to the description of the item because the receipt and barcode match up. Coming from retail I’ve seen scams like this a lot.
Can't believe that black series Droid pack is at the half off store for $26 already, glad I didn't pay full price. Gonna wait until I see it on clearance.
That half off store had NECA 2 pk, and the droid 2pk. that is incredible. 😲 Dang Ollie's I need some inventory at my local store. 😉 Congrats on the Ramen Racer Art G! 🤩
@@fleesysworldYT pretty much. That Lady Jaye retrocard was a Duke barcode and that other one was a recon diver barcode. That scammer is slick printing out his own barcode stickers to return the item. It’s just a shame that employees don’t look at the box or at least have a system that shows an image of it
That Gundam Aerial was part of Hobby Lobby's sale a few weeks ago around the same price for all of their model kits. The amount of people who are getting away with returning old figures from discount stores to Walmart and Target is just plain ridiculous. Seeing your plentiful stores and deals in your area gives me hope of seeing something worth of note here in the Midlands area of South Carolina someday that hasn't been gobbled up by scalpers. TJ Maxx here had some good statues around the holidays, but the boxes are mostly likely ripped open. I was just lucky to snag a Soi Fon after seeing you find one in one of your videos.
@@XionZeros appreciate it man and good luck out there! You absolutely reminded me about Hobby Lobby! I have to go there since the sale is still going on with 40%off!
Art great hunt and finds!👍 That one scammer with the sticker barcodes is a live one I'll tell you that. Those figs I've seen on clearance for like $6-7 and he's returning them for full price 😮of a Duke SMMFH 🤦🏻 Where there's a will there's a way huh!?
@@ArtGcollection I found a red Chun Li in Target Plymouth Metting last week along with Ken. I was tempted to buy them but put them back because I have a violet Ken and pink Chun Li on the way from Jada.
Normally watching these types of videos make me motion sick as hell, Not sure if you have certain features or settings on your phone but keep doing what you're doing! high five!

@@bossprime369 a chase is an item that is limited in quantity so it’s harder to find. Typically the item is identified with a sticker on the box. Most companies do this type of thing; examples are Funko Pop, McFarlane Toys, Jazwares AEW. The chase is usually a character in a wave that has an alternate look. For example, if you see a Superman in his red and blue costume, the chase could a Superman in a green costume. The company will announce these things beforehand so that buyers can keep an eye out for
I'm a collector myself. Just a few action figures, lego, diecast models. In my opinion, the toy collecting in general is overly saturated. When us gen x, boomers, and a few millennials are gone, these crap that we have as vintage today, and modern today, will all just pile up to add to more junk in the future, as toy companies continue to produce new and more of the same lines in different versions that they could think of to take money out from us. There will be garage sales, yard sales, flee markets of the same. The point, there's too much products. Way too much.
I don't know how they are doing it but here in the Carolinas people have been swapping discounted items from Ollie's, Ross, TJ Maxx, and Burlington to Walmart and Target left and right for years now.

@@ArtGcollection Yeah I’ve heard of this but I’ve also heard that stores are also starting to crack down of fraudulent returns. They’ve started to recognize that it’s becoming a huge problem. Smaller stores are doing it like TJ Maxx. They’re tracking return behaviors and if it’s a repeated trend then they flag you to the point of your next return falls under the flagged trend they won’t accept your returns. Im sure if Walmart or Target implements this system they’ll be able to recognize the trend of returning toys on a consistent basis and flag them.

im sure it will happen
Fun hunt as always Art, love those SDCC street fighters !
thank you sir!
McFarlene figures are solid … no complains , I got all the Hero Academia figures
i used to have the first few figures from them... i just couldnt keep up. they were good

yea man they get stuff in early from wherever they buy pallets. its crazy what retailers get returns on
With them forging barcodes we now have to check to make sure the price legit.

@@4feathers he definitely slick about it. What’s worse is Target not seeing the sifference
These premiers tho!. 😂
im trying to keep up!
I cannot believe. That there is a red Chun-Li in a discount store. I have not even found a regular blue one in my part of Pennsylvania..
@@shadowbird I’m sure it will happen one day but that Chun Li was at Target. I would’ve bought it if it was at liquidation

I wish i can find the red chunli at oc

Hay art and who ever else can answer,is it me or does it seem like Ollie's went up on their plastic crack???

What's a chase ???

So is that dude forging barcodes and taking clearanced items from Walmart to Target to get full price? How is that not able to be tracked?
