Y'all, I just stopped in at Target (Here in the East Coast) and as expected... NO ONE in that dang retailer knew what the eff I was talking about.
I did all my reading of the official Pokemon posting for these codes. Volcanion/Genesect were distributed at GameStop. The GameStop associates always know what is being asked of them when looking for these codes.
Target... That is another story. Target (for those of you who do not know) is a department retailer (like Wal-mart). I went to the tech department first assuming it is near where the video games are sold. The tech associate (before I could finish my inquiry) sent me over to the trading card department. I asked an associate nearby there and he referred me to a Supervisor. I show her the official posting and she says everything card base they put in the section where all the other sporting cards are. I told her it's not a sporting card, it's a scratch-off giveaway. She says the Vendor never delivered anything.
So either she is right OR even if they get delivered, these people will not know what the heck to do with these codes. For all I know they could throw them away thinking it is unnecessary ads.
Does the Pokemon Company even instruct retailers when they send these out? They need to keep these codes at GameStop. They know best what to do. Who do we complain about this?
Anyways, I fear, this time, I may not be able to collect this Mythical Pokemon due to the poor distribution method.
Anyone else had a similar or successful story regarding this?
