The JB at Garden City finally got in their August items, including the Gen2 redecos (all 8 still available), the first four 1986 movie reissues, the Prowl/Ironhide 2-pack, and the Shattered Glass Grimlock.
Fortunately I was there today before any of them had sold out, as ten of those items were ones I had on pre-order, but weren't held for me to collect.
So I had to get those 10 toys off the shelf (the Gen2 redecos, the SG Grimlock and the Prowl/Ironhide pack), and take them to the counter, at which time they found out that 4 other items were actually on hold for me out the back (which I also didn't get notified for)... and then a 15th item was sitting in a bucket of mixed stock behind the counter, which I was able to claim as another pre-ordered item that hadn't been set aside for me.
And that wasn't the only problem... I was at the counter from 2.40pm to 3.40pm, not only to track down the 15 items physically, but also to find them in the system across 5 different orders, with some being fully paid, some being just a deposit, and some having no deposit. And for a while, the system was over-charging the total amount by $17, and the staff couldn't figure out why... so had to cancel 3 of the items, credit them and re-order them.
Which all took an hour to do, partly because the staff member processing my order, had to keep asking for help from other staff to figure things out.
(it was also annoying that so much had been pushed back from the last 3-4 weeks, that it all ended up hitting at once, costing over $900, instead of being spread out over each week in smaller amounts)
Anyways, the other 5 items I picked up that must also be in that store somewhere, but I didn't see them with the rest of the toys - the Hotshot/Jolt pack, the Core 2-pack with Optimus & Bumblebee, SS86 Brawn and SS-102 ROTB Optimus in Buzzworthy packaging.
