Rather odd find at TRU today

I poked my head into TRU for my weekly disappointment and was instead surprised by finding this there for $8. Long after they were cleared out.

It actually ended up being released around March of 06 for clarification.

Probably a return, at Walmart we got a Sigma Strike Duke (which we haven't carried since a single case last fall) returned, and it wasn't even from Walmart as I saw the sticker residue that was bigger than our stickers.

And the Code Lyoko figure, which we never carried to begin with.

And last year's Spider-Man 2 Bump and Go (not available at WM since 2005 at least, we got one late 2006)

I actually found several of these at Toys R Us on Monday for the same price. I believe they came out of the back room, probably pulled from the shelves when Sigma 6 took over the peg space held by the DTC line. I bought one for my Snow Serpent brigade, but decided it looked a little too futuristc. I gave it to my Arc Troopers instead.

I think my TRU refuses to carry the 25th line until the Dragonhawks finally clear out.

LOL...it's funny how synchronized Joe fandom is, and how we all seem as if we are one mind just in different states! The reason I say this, is that I found this very vehicle after a random stop at TRU last night, and wondered the exact same thing everyone else is left thinking- where the 'h' did this thing come from!?

TRU has nearly zero Joes throughout the holidays and definitely zero right now, but this lone VvV Joe vehicle pops out from the storeroom somehow?! Wouldn't it just beat all if it were in that storeroom for like two years, and everytime someone asks if they have more Joe stock in the back the TRU employee working the floor says the rather inane refrain of late: "What you see on the shelves is all we have". I'd like to punch something really hard for all the times I've heard that as of late.
