Since a few people have said their TRUs are restocking POC, I went after work and while there were no old new stock out, the last 30th wave and all Retaliation single figures were on sale for $7.00 each.

(mods, if this is old news then you can delete.)

Isn't that figure tough to find? I've been out of Star Wars for a VERY long time now, but a buddy of mine was just showing me that figure.

Haha! I'm beginning to believe this. That Alley Viper might as well be a PDD. That's how much I believe any of those are still hanging out in any TRU

I would drive a considerable distance to find a TRU that well stocked.

I hope he was able to score a bunch of them.

I went to my TRU looking for Shock Troopers and found only Renegades Scarlet, Ripcord and Firefly, as well as Retaliation SE, SS and RB.

Picked up a couple of Red Ninjas for $7 @ a TRU in Traverse City, MI. Didn't even know there was a sale going on. Nice to not "be in the know" for a change....

We're just a bunch of jealous old men.

You're the best! If I remember, you hooked me up with one of those Sand Serpents from Ross. I love that thing!

Nope, I live in the semi-baron wasteland of Rhode Island where we get 2 Bastilla Shan cases to share amongst all the stores.

And we don't get nice weather all year round.

Distrobution in your area should be the norm, not the exception.

So, like Python Puckman said, I'm a jealous old man.

Distribution here in NC is wonderful.

Recognize.

Nice! Wanna trade some Bumblebees for Dark Knight Rises figures. Batman is overwhelming the TF section and the 'Bots need some reinforcements.

Walmart here got a single case of that wave and I was present when it was fresh. It has been one of my lucky scores. That's Bastilla Shan.

For Retaliation Joe Troopers, Ninjas, and CC are always taken when I arrive.

Around here, I've seen very few black ccs, mostly blues. Guess the distribution is random.

I went to my TRU today hoping to find a few POC. Instead 18 ROC Neo Vipers, a single eRetaliation Roadblock, and a Ren Firefly.

Tru in Canada is stocked up on retaliation and last 30th,but I'm having to pay $11 & $12 each. And all the CC figs were black.

The other weekend I was out and saw a blue CC at TRU and a black one at Target.

On another note, I picked up Retaliation Zartan, along with another Renegades Tunnel Rat and Ripcord for some customs. I was pretty alarmed by how awful this figure is. The only other Retaliation figure I picked up was the Joe trooper, and this one was okay. But none of the heads even really fit correctly on Zartan, and the paint apps are terrible. The Zartan head looks like some creepy old guy, and there isn't any articulation in the ankles.


I hope future Retaliation figs are done better, or I'm going to have to sit out this entire line.

I cleaned out 2 trus to the tune of $98. I bought exactly what I had bought at walmart and I didn't find everything. I dumped it all on my local walmart for a $125 refund. ha ha they got almost a year to get rid of all that crap. LOL

Wow, you must be proud for $27.
Hope that Walmart doesn't get any of the waves 2-4 Retaliation figures and you're stuck paying TRU and online prices.

Nah, he has the aisles set up at his house. If you're nice maybe you can get him to take some pics of the 80s reproduction aisles, lol. ;)

So, now you just have $98.00 of crap?

You're a douche and our walmarts already have red clearance tags on the joe stuff (regular price--only had the big RB/SE and bikes left). I already cleaned out all the figures, now some other folks have a chance at them without paying $10 a pop over at target.

FYI $27 is more than I make in 2 hours at work, so yes, nice little bonus. I can buy a few more troopers with that. ASS

Pretty much. Maybe TRU will do a 2/$11 and price match soon.

JediJones

Guess some people never heard of price-matching, price adjustments and a 90-day return policy. If he stood in line for 10 minutes to return them, then he was making $162 an hour. Nothing to sneeze at. You'd have to be stupid not to take advantage of every cost-savings measure the retailers offer. Criticizing that isn't even logical, it's just idiotic. If he didn't buy and return them to Walmart, then the same figures would still be sitting at TRU and now back up to $9.99 each, more expensive than Walmart. As for me I took all the Joe figures I had bought recently back to TRU and they let me return and repurchase them at the sale price.
