My TRU has been emptied of the 50th stuff for at least a couple of months now. It looks promising.....I'm not gonna buy all the new stuff, but I'll get most of it.

Anyone seen the new 50th stuff show up?
I'm becoming concerned. Nothing in Alberta as yet. |

Did 2 TRU today, one had some Retaliation Roadblocks the other was empty. :( Even asked a clerk and nothing was going to be on the shelves soon.

I wouldn't be optimistic. Most TRU's I've seen in the GTA still have bunches of Wave 1 two-packs and vehicle packs.

Because of the excess Wave 1 50th inventory, I'm doubtful we'll see anything. At least not before September. All the Joe stuff is on clearance now and I think any new things may accidentally get lumped into clearance so probably won't see any until at least they've cleared enough and took the Joe stuff off of clearance status.

The few stores I've gone to around here aren't drowning with stock - one has nothing left but some retaliation play masks, the others have about four or five of each set. What is kind of worrying is the Wave 2 two packs never made it to stores.
The stuff seems to sell well online so you'd think having the stores pack up and ship back their excess stock to be sold online would make sense. Glad the wave 2 2-packs never came, hose were some real ugly figures( I hate BATs). I think seeing international labeling on the previews of the 2-packs for 2016 is positive, after all, what other country would really carry these? |

Don't wait on the clearance stuff - I saw the Wv 1 two-packs at Toys Toys Toys today, meaning they're probably buying up TRU's leftovers and pricing them at $20. |

This happens for every line- Star Wars, avengers, transformers, g I joe. They order the first wave up the wazoo and then they have to sit on it and clearance it. By the time we get to the later waves with anything decent in it they won't carry them anymore. So frustrating. Especially since bbts isn't even showing the 3packs. |

[QUOTE=Lifeline_MD;4866660]Who runs their ordering department? Seriously.

By the time we get to the later waves with anything decent in it they won't carry them anymore. I wish I didn't have to agree with this, but it is true. For a place called toys r us, they sure don't like to have a regular stock of anything to pick from. Majority of isles I see are 1/2 filled or less. I wish there was another toy store option in Canada, as TRU really doesn't cut it, and walmart is a joke for toys. |
