I used to live in dtla and I would go on runs to that Burbank tru and te los feliz tru. There seems to be a lot of collectors/scalpers in tht area. The manager of the Burbank tru once told me that on the days they get new joe shipments, there would be the usual crowd at the door at opening. Same ppl would later return items that didn't sell well on ebay. That's how they ended up with 20 + renegades cc awhile back.
Moving to the west side was the best thing I ever did for my joe obsession! Let me know if you guys want me to pick up extras for you. I would send them to you at cost. I did pre-order several 50th things from TRU.com when it was available, but there are still a handful of things I'm still looking for. Hopefully I'll have some luck. I might also end up with a extra Battle Below Zero set, since I got that at the local TRU not realizing I'd already ordered it. I'm not sure if I'll trade it away (at the cost I paid for it) or if I'll just return it. I'd love to keep the extra one but money's tight. Greediness is definitely ruining toy collecting, though. It's the reason I'd never go near the SDCC Hasbro booth again. It's the reason I never bothered with the FSS (well, that and never again trusting those idiots with my credit card info). Just come on people, leave some behind for me! :P |

TRU la cienega score! Well, I got the last danger at the docks but they also had five mp prowls. I got one. Also had a few sunstorms. They're kept at customer service so you have to ask them. One of the employees told me he collects them too and that they didn't have any prowls. My distrusting nature prompted me to go over to customer service and ask anyways. Sure enough, there they were.
TRU culver didn't have any danger at docks as of just now.

Well, learned a lesson about ordering from TRU.com - my Viper's Pit three pack and Battle Below Zero arrived... and both were seriously damaged package-wise.
Did some "hunting" the other day - the two-pack with Blowtorch and HEAT Viper (Heated Battle I think it is?) could be found at all three of the TRU's I went to - the one by Sherman Way, the one here in Burbank, and the one up by Woodland Hills. Woodland Hills also had one or two Battle Below Zero sets, and a spot for Danger At The Docks but that was all empty. Oh, and the ROSS in Woodland Hills had a few of the Retaliation toys - the plane looking thing with Duke and two bike things... and even at a discounted price, I wouldn't want to go near 'em. |

I'm surprised to see the X-Men wave of Marvel Legends at TRU. I thought they were an online exclusive. I'll have to be on the lookout.

I was surprised to find the 50th two packs in TRU recently. I'd been checking for their clearance stuff repeatedly, and I had pretty much written off GI Joe as a brand entirely since Hasbro didn't seem to care. I think they look awesome, and am now much more excited for Danger at the Docks then I was at SDCC.
Since you will probably all appreciate this more than my wife currently does, here's some recent finds at TRU, Target, and SDCC. I'm loaded down with LEGO for YEARS at this point >.< |

As of yesterday, Woodland Hills TRU was fully stocked on 50th Joes, minus the Lowlight/Night Viper pack. There was at least 3 of everything including the vehicle packs. They also have the Masterpiece Prowl and SunStorm. Basically last Friday they got in all of the stuff that was at the Entertainment Earth booth at SDCC (Power Rangers, TMNT, Star Wars, etc), so there's a lot of new stuff at TRU right now. Go get 'em!
