The few desirable exclusives? Good luck seeing those on a TRU shelf.
I'm not sure which online retailers you shop at, but I've never found any store exclusive for less than in-store retail price online, at least not unless it was on clearance months or years after it initially came out. Maybe you've heard of "internet mark up?" It's pretty much the same markup you get at all your "local comic shops" too... But maybe you live in fantasyland, USA.
I've also never had trouble finding
any
of TRU's exclusives. Wal-Mart's exclusives on the other hand, are usually only in about half of their stores to begin with, and impossible to find unless you're able to be at the store at opening every single day, because scalpers buy them up with a quickness.
I dunno which TRU employee pissed in your cornflakes or if you're an employee of Wal-Mart, but if you don't understand why Wal-Mart having complete control over the toy industry would be a Very Bad Thing (tm) then there's not much more to be said.
