3 or 4 of torpedo, R&R, armored CC, snow job, IG Destro, CG. Even though there was nothing for me, it was nice to see a good selection.

You must have missed them, after I read your post I went to see if they had Black SE and they didn't, but I did get 1 each of the TRU packs and 1 of each were left, maybe 1 case they got in, plus plenty of wave 3 comic packs.

doh. they must have put those out after I was there earlier. I went back and they were already gone (unless I am looking in the wrong place)
I am guessing they were sitting next to the comic packs?

[slim19722]

Yeah they were next to comic packs on the shelf. They have the sticker up and I think they only had 1 case, cuz there were 2 of each(well 1 of each after I got mine). This was about a hour or so ago.

[slim19722]

TRU got a restock of the exclusives, 2 of each and if your into Star Wars, WM on Palmer Park has plenty of complete waves 1 & 2(Force Unleashed Fig's).

So, I drive down to the Park Meadows Toys R Us and look around the Joe isle for the new TRU exclusives. I find nothing. I notice an older employee passing by and ask, "Do you have the . . ." And before I can say anything else, he replies, "The GI Joe Cobra Night Watch? No, but follow me and let's look it up in the computer."

Anyway, he looks it up and sees that he doesn't have it in stock but sees their price as $24.99. He says he's getting a shipment in next week, and it could be any day during the week. He then offers to go in the back and check a shipment that just came in today. He checks and comes back a few minutes later with nothing.

He THEN offers to look in the system and see if any other store has it. He finds 8 packs listed at the Aurora store. He dials the number since my cellphone was dead and I ask. The Aurora TRU says they don't have it and the computer is wrong.

This all took about 20-30 minutes with a break where he got called to search for a missing child. The kid got found but not my Joes. . .

Anyway, I go walking around to see if anything interesting is on the shelves for any other lines. I really don't follow any other lines, but I like seeing all the eye candy of other toys.

So, I'm walking down the military action figure aisle again. And, in between all the other military lines, what do I find? That's right. Two Snake Eyes, Red Ninja packs and one Cobra Night Watch. I used the TRU coupon for $5 off $25 and got them for $40.

I decided to try my luck and go to Aurora. I figured if the computer lies at Park Meadows than staff may have beein incorrect at the Aurora store. But, no luck. Nothing was at the Aurora store.

So, rev up your engines, boys. Park Meadows has one Snake Eyes vs. Red Ninjas pack. It's stuck on the same side as the Joe toys but half-way down the aisle about head high. That all that was left. I don't know if someone hit the store before me if they're just coming in cases with two Snake Eyes and one Night Watch.

Oh, and don't forget to use that TRU coupon I posted on the General Talk thread. I gave my remainder coupons at each store to a grandmother buying clothes for a child and a couple buying some discount clothes for their kids.

Happy Hunting.

The coupon can be found at: http://www3.toysrus.com/our/tru/prom...314/921045.cfm

Be ready to print it out when you click on the link as you only get one chance to print it.

However, I think it was only good through Saturday.

Hey, that's who went out of his way to help me find the figures! He didn't end up finding them, but he was helpful.
