you know hasbro doesn't build TRUs right?

 

*blinks* They're umm, out now. I went to toys r us yesterday and picked up the pair. Anyone who really wants them should be out pounding the pavement now, as every TRU in america is going to get precisely one case of the figures and then that's it.

 

Hi, welcome, and whats your proof of any of that?

Of all the exclusive shops, TRU is usualy the most heavily overstocked. So please, evidence...

 

proof.

Actualy I was talking about "every TRU in america is going to get precisely one case of the figures and then that's it."

Toys R Us is notorious for overstocking exclusives, so again I ask, whats your proof?

Ah well, no proof, but rather an educated guess. when I rolled in last tuesday, there were precisely four arcees and four

ratchets, indicating one complete case. as animated is already winding down, I see no reason for them to request more.

finally, I suppose it's a difference of experience. while tru may over stock exclusives in other parts of the country, in my

neck of the woods they only ever get one case of exclusives. going back to other tru exclusives like Rid Scourge, (another

'after the line ended but highly sought after left overs' case like arcee and then commerative powermaster prime, the

release windows have been limited. but, again, that's just my experience. perhaps where you are from, they will get about

30 apiece and struggle to move them for the next ten months.

i sense a tone of arrogance.:mwahaha

 

What, me? sorry. Leige wanted proof, I thought he meant that I had the figures. when he clarified he wanted proof about my other claim, I admitted I had none but did explain why I was drawing that conclusion. and my original post, (which Leige quotes) only meant to warn that in at least several parts of the country the figures are out, so don't wait!

OK, when figures are being seeded, one case per store is average. It just means that they're starting to trickle out of the warehouses.

Aint no need for nasty people

Next time just don't post an educated guess so boldly without declaring thats all it is, or having proof to back it, other wise you fall into the catagory of being "that guy".

 

Alright, lecture over and thanks for the heads up. Just remember, theres alot of information filing in here from alot of sources, from even more places. Specifing something as fact, oppinion, or even joke, saves alot of trouble.

In the Milwaukee area we only have a couple TRU stores and all of them STILL have exclusives from last year, and some have em' from 2 years ago. The only ones that come close to finally selling out are Perceptor & the Insecticons set.

 

Not that I think these new ones will last. I'm planning on finding them as soon as I can. So far no luck :tfevil But of course I had no problem with the Wal-Mart exclusives last week :doh

 

One of the reasons I don't normally shop there, (TRU) they don't have much room left in the Transformers isle for the new stuff. Great though if you missed things in the fast selling stores if you can wait for months. Which I suck at :tdown

 

Who said Kay-Bee was gone !!!

KB in alot of areas have cleared out. 90% of the ones in Jersey are closed. They've filed for bankrupcy a couple times and are expected to be completly shut down by the end of 2011.

Around here KB was useless anyway.

 

I'm also looking for these exclusives though, and have the same past stock issues in my TRUs. I'm hoping friday brings better luck as sadly TRU is all but cut from my hunting routes.
