Re: Helping other people choose the right Transformer...

after looking all over london and stratford at christmas time, i was in the pitiful zellers here looking for something new and helped a couple that were trying to find leader prime, told them which stores in london still had him, they were really happy as it was all their son had asked for for christmas

Not quite. If someone ever said that to me I would beat the life out of them no matter where we were. I think my manager would be pretty understanding once I explained the situation.

Re: Helping other people choose the right Transformer...

^lolz!!
and you would then end up jobless and in jail,shacked up with somebody named bubbles


seriously though,there's been a few times where i go to tru and notice a frustrated grandma or parent,not knowing which ones to choose for a young'un. i usually don't pipe up till i notice that the employee doesn't have a friggin' clue what's what and suggests ultimate bb for a four year old

usually i would recommend certain products according to the age they say the children are.

example would be=
1-3 years old= bumper battlers,powerbots,robot heroes,etc.

4-7 years would be= legends,scouts and certain deluxes that are fairly simple.(i still haven't ever recommended "any" of the rotf deluxes to anybody as they pretty much have mp engineering with a side of plastic origami thrown in for that added frustration level

if anything,i've actually turned some grandma's away from mudflap/skids,etc, then recommended more basic transformation molds like bb.

Generally common folk are too scared to talk to me. They see me coming and run off.
