[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3591410, member: 2067"] More than likely, no one buys 'em. Most Borders employees have a vague sense of a bunch of plastic things over in the "anime toys" section, but it's not something that's crucial to job performance, like, say, knowing if we have the Secret in stock or knowing how to push the little red member's card. ;) Well, it could easily be that way if they're not selling many. You could always try to get them to order a set for you. There's no instant gratification, but a half-decent Information desk worker should be able to get you what you want in a week or two. On the plus side, if people start ordering sets, there's a chance they may begin stocking sets better. Falling out? I doubt it. I work at the busiest Borders in the nation, and just got a call a few weeks ago from Wizards wondering if we had any stock of the SAGA edition Star Wars book. We keep getting the newly released D&D books. Etc. More than likely, like my store, yours just doesn't sell a lot of minis. Even if you're buying them, your lone service doesn't warrant much shelf space for the things. So, either get more folks to buy 'em, or start bugging the booksellers at the Info desk to order 'em for you. They'll be confused at first, but have some patience, they should be able to get ahold of them. ;) [/QUOTE]
