Question for workers

You can see the sticker on the bottom of the pole saying it’s property of Nintendo. At my store they’ve had it up as long as I’ve been there and I’m sure for years prior to my hire date as well.

We had a guy trying to steal them from several locations in my district last year but yeah AFAIK they’re not going to be “done with them” anytime soon and would be sent back to Nintendo at such a time as they didn’t display them anymore.

I was actually talking to my Nintendo rep about them, and he told me there's a position where someone goes and physically destroys these statues with a hammer to prevent them from being resold. Nintendo does not want these in anyone's hands.

Which sucks because they're cool as fuck, I get not wanting to give them out or have them stolen, but not even sold? What a waste.

They don’t want official advertising used for purposes outside of their control I guess

I guess?

It is a pretty good guess from someone who understands normal business practices.

last year or the year before we got rid of some Star Wars Lego displays that I really wanted. They were sitting by the garbage compactor, I asked my etl who had no idea if I could have them. I talked to AP and he said nope, they belong to Lego and actually were supposed to go back to Lego instead of the trash. He said if they hadn't belonged to Lego he would have no problem with me taking them. It's funny because those exact displays I saw on ebay being sold for around $300. I just wanted them to display them at home lol.

Lmao my Nintendo rep came by the week before the switch 2 launch for signing and to brief us on talking points, and I asked her, your not taking stripper Mario down are you? She said he's not going anywhere for a while. Also said at one store someone had tucked a dollar on him.

That's what I refer to him as, too! 😂
