Our very own Runamuck has posted this news from the Toys 'R Us where he works:
Participating Toys 'R Us stores are going to be taking Preordres for collector oriented figures like Neca, DC Direct, Diamond Select, Mezco, etc. It seems they will be ticketed items, meaning, you bring the ticket for a certain item to the register, and they will take your order like a preorder. this is great news for collectors to be able to get more collectibles at retail! We don't know all the details yet, but stay tuned, we will keep you informed!

Oh, no question about it...but this'll give me even more reason to visit TRU (if it becomes a reality). Shipping costs are a big factor in some of my purchases... |

This kinda sucks for the little guy. I always try to order stuff like that through my comic shop. He gives me decent prices and I get what I need.

Well, getting it from a CB shop is a bit different, IMO. You can still buy direct through them and disregard shipping as it's baked in to the initial price. For those without CBs in the area, this'll be a huge cost savings. |

Duuude...that sucks. I can't imagine life without my comic guy. If it wasn't for him, I'd never have found the 25e Anniversary Joes....or half my collection, to be honest.
I've got three comic shoppes on the walk from my house to work (all ten minutes of it)....I dunno how I'd fare without even one in the entire city.

I was thinking the same thing. A very good and very local(2 minutes from work) comic shop gets stuff that I ask for and at good prices. This place had the Watchmen figures for a couple of bucks less than TRU. He usually has most new stuff for MSRP.

I just discovered one in the area (thanks to the help of Conquest1). I'll definitely be spending a lot of money there.
