I am starting to think that we are burdened with the worst TRU in the country!

Last week, they did that with the NW & Red Ninja packs and the next day they put the tags back, along with a restock and the 3-packs(that's when I got the Joe & Cobra sets).

Heads up. TRU in Park Meadows has one 3-pack left. They told me it was the Cobra Officer pack (blue).

Good luck.

He realizes they are hoarding them to sell online and the store has limited their purchase.

But, how do you compete with that? These guys start the day off with a visit to Toys R Us.

Ugh. I'm done. I'll only search for these things at my local Target and on my business travels.
Damn! No wonder I can't ever find anything in that store. I live down the street and check it all the time. They never have squat. There is a comic/toy store store around the corner called Superhero Headquartes that probably contributes to that.
Anyway I came here to try and get some help to find out what the deal is. I usually look in Lakewood, Stapleton and Westminster and everywhere in between and haven't seen anything on the shelves in a month except a couple of the same of comic 2 packs. I did manage to see a couple of figs from wave 4 at the Walmart on 6th and Wads yesterday, but that's it. Other than seeing wave 6 once a month ago it's been dry as a bone.

Wow, I found the mother load of Wave 5 and 6 figures if you're still looking. I'm going over there for something else. But, I know the figures are $7.99 to $9.99 a piece. If interested let me know and I can either pick you up some or just PM you where you can get them. But, you'll forgive me if I don't PM you until Thursday evening so I can gets me some Crimson Guards first. That's the only figures I'm getting there.

Springs TRU got the 3-packs. Don't know how many per case, but there were 2 CG sets and 1 each of the Joe & Coba sets. Grabbed 1 CG set, as I got the other 2 last week, but there is 1 set left.

[QUOTE=Gaelinic;99675]Also, Fett, I only saw the TRU Officer Pack one time and picked them up. Well, that is, I was only able to pick up two of the three packs. I saw the the TRU 5-packs sets twice, once at two different stores.[/QOUTE]

Sorry about the misunderstanding Gaelinic, I was just ribbing you guys about finding the TRU packs and not hookin' me up with one.

More than anything, I was just reminding everyone that the people who post in this forum are all true collectors. As such, we all feel the same frustration when we don't find stuff as well as the same joy when we do. I realize not everyone has the funds to buy extra product for other collectors, but we all have the ability to hide hard-to-get toys and/or post on this site the location, date and time of our finds to help one another out. I can tell you from my years of collecting Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Simpsons that only thru the help fellow collectors have I been able to make my collections complete (and they have helped keep me from having a heart attack stressing about toys).

Anyway, I WILL buy you a Crimson Guard pack shoud I see one just as I WILL buy extra hard-to-get Joes for other collectors should I run across them.

I will too...if I could ever find any!

We should all post items we're looking for (and not just Joes) so that this group can keep an eye out for each other. That might be the only way we'll all complete our collections!

If I see anything in my searches I will pick them up. I think it would be helpful if there was a list of what folks are looking for.

Found the Target exclusive vehicles at the Gartrell Target today at around 4:30. They're up on the endcap by the registers. They put out three of each vehicle. I bought one HISS and one Sharc.

Good hunting!

So, I posted my wants in my signature. I suggest you guys in Denver do the same.

As for the motherload, I didn't go today. Snow was bitch and didn't want to deal with it. But, it's far north near Broomfield. I can PM you if you're interested
