Haven't seen anything there lately, but I haven't been hitting the Wal-mart - just Target and the discount places.

The thing is, my major competition is these two older guys with gray hair and huge stomachs. I've seen these two at several Walmarts and Giants scouring the toy aisles like vultures. You wonder why you can't find the Star Wars AT-AT? They bought all of them. I'm not sure if they are mainly into Joes or not but they will drop $300 on one visit and clear out the MU, Transformers and Star Wars right after the damn stock boy puts them on shelves...
Anyways, feel free to pm me guys, I'll look out and I'm mostly done with the hunt until December and everything is well stocked... Quote:
Call it whaterver you want. In case you haven't noticed everybody is buying 3 cases worth of stuff just to put on eBay and make a profit. I won't help anybody accomplish that.
You don't live in my area, so you wouldn't know the amount of Hot Wheel Collectors that just buy stuff to resale. I hear that TRU is closing and has nothing good.

Columbia TRU is closed, I was there for the last few days, just the ROC Joe keychains towards the end.. All the good stuff cleared out @ 40% off, and even then it was mostly ROC shelfwarmers.
ROSS COLUMBIA- TRU Multi-Packs from ROC (Duke Infiltrator and JOE / Law & Order Packs) are in stock, $12.99. Picked one up last night. Also have Dragonhawk (ROC), and Mole Pod. Many random ROC items (non- 3 3/4 toys), also a few ROC single cards (shirtless SS / battle damaged). COLUMBIA WALMART / DOBBIN- Picked over POC, Mech Suits, tons of Wave I IM2, nothing for MU. COLUMBIA TARGET / DOBBIN- Picked over POC, Mechs galore, all Wave 1 vehicles. MU has been spotty w/ new waves, IM2 Titanium Man and Hulkbuster spotty too.

Not that Hell is cool but you know the saying...
Thanks to JoeMama, fogger and Kushdog I wont be going to Columbia. A waste of a trip. So is there a date for the grand opening of the new TRU in Columbia right across from its closing location? I wonder if it'll be operational by Christmas season. Also, any Black Friday tidbits being rumored in our area yet?

October is what I was told, for the opening of the new TRU. No idea when in October, of course.

Agreed, October 14th was the date for the new TRU that was floated by the store employees from the one on Dobbin.. I'm hoping, and I think this was sorta confirmed, that the new store will be an Alpha level store, so we'll get more new stuff in deeper waves.
Fogger- I swung by Ross around 6 last night and snagged the Cobra multi-pack... they had 3-4 of the Joe packs on the shelf to the left, but the Cobra pack was to the right w/ all the younger toddler toys. There is really no rhyme or reason to how they have that section merchandised, it's always all over the place. Hoping they get some new SW stuff in soon, has been famine for Star Wars for awhile in the secondary discounter market. I missed the Snarler Cycle; only had the Mole Pod for $8.99 last night, would have definitely picked up one of those... Was debating getting a 2nd Dragonhawk, but have 1 already and 1's enough. Joe air support is getting too heavy Also, I picked up a few of the SECRET WARS / DOOM ROLLER vehicles MOC in box from 1984 that randomly showed up at the TRU going out of business sale, if anyone needs one? I picked up 2 for buyers that never paid, and have no interest in them. I'm not a MOC guy.

blackman2005- I hit the Target on York Rd. by Padonia Road a few days ago... nothing new there, but a ridiculous tonage of Spidey, Iron Spidey, and Iron Man MU figs..
Like a Maximum Clonage invasion of Spidey's... They did have the Whiplash IM2 endcap / 3-pack up.. Whiplash is a pretty cool fig, just not very moveable.

Were the Joe packs all in a pile when you were there? That's how I left them.
