>>10097386I work at one and trust me it does happen, but they get caught they usually get canned. Now stocking it to the home and buying it after work is a different story.
Main thing is anything you would deem collectible (neca figures, motu, black series, lightning collection,etc.) come in so sporadically that it can be weeks to months between new cases coming in.
Only action figures/collectibles that come in on a semi regular schedule is Jurassic World, funkos, and Mcfarlane stuff.
Another issue is full time scalpers whose entire daily routine when not selling shit online is going to every store to buy up and/or steal anything they could possibly make a profit on.
Also assholes that hide figures and pokemon decks and only come get em when they're marked down or theyve sold said item online.
Fact is toys are the redheaded stepchild of departments 10 1/2 months out of the year and action figures/collectibles even more so.
