toys r us is a terrible chain now, it is not the awesome store it used to be Only thing is they will be sure to have a ton of their joe exclusives so we won't have to worry about finding those figures, It is almost like they don't understand the toy business yet they are a toy store, I recently talked to a store manager that thought gi joe had pretty much played out, i promptly explained to her the 25th line was probably the hottest selling action figure right now and that she needed to get on the ball and stock up, sure beats her empty dust collecting shelves where the joes belong, I have no fondness for tru anymore, they just don't stock there shelves with new product for any toy line, sometimes stuff sits on there shelves for two or three YEARS and they don't clearence it and bring in new stuff.

The TRU on Battlefield right Viper 48?
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they went out of business because they haven't restocked anything but Hanna Montana stuff since Christmas. I don't bother checking them anymore. At least our Target is pretty good about figures.

TRU--you want to go get another joe figure? me.heaux--if you have one i need, certainly. TRU--probably not...i think we have two of them. well joes...there was ONE, a buzzer. so yes, Viper 48 you are in similar company. |

perhaps TRU should stop selling $350 navigation systems and start ordering some toys. Seriously, who buys a navigational system at TRU? Never mind a $350 one...

I asked a friend that works at TRU about it awhile back, he said they get about 1 case and that's it. He had no idea why that is though.

The pegs for figures is always empty and i only see comic pegs, no single figure pegs...

I asked the guy at my local TRU and was told they are in the middle of a reset to get ready for the Iron Man toys that will coming out. maybe all TRU are doing the same thing and will restock the joes after the reset is complete.
