I remember when I was a child you could ask the ToysRus store clerks to check the stock and they'd go into the back room no problem and reemerged with the toy you so tirelessly searched for like some kind of magic.

Those were the days.

Now I can have one in Dragonzord Battle mode and one in regular Megazord mode. Best part is the 2 of them cost me $130 total! Bought my first one on ebay back in Dec for $60 shipped!

Oh and now Legacy Titanus is coming out.. Looks awesome even if it's $200, still getting one.

At the comic con they had a titanus in box for 250 I was so so very tempted.

I get how the warehouse works, I've worked in retail for 20 years (some of it in distribution centers).

The problem is actually two-fold
1. They can request product be shipped to them if it sells more than expected and then they get priority on the product based on the stores volume.

2. If it appears that they sell out of a said product, but he inventory system states that they still have it in stock, no shipment for you!

That being said, TRU's toy focus is on Lego (that is their largest selling category) and it gets restocked more frequently than the rest of the other categories. It isn't great for us collectors, which leads us to HAVE TO shop online. There's a way to fix the system at retail, but when the bottom line runs retail it doesn't matter.

Been in retail just as long. If there are still some in stock you need to tell the employees so they can adjust the stock. Stock should flow also you need to do surveys. It helps, at least it does for me.

Although I have all 3 Megazord, Dragonzord, Titanus all mint and displayed. Courtesy of my paper route back in the day. Also have all the rangers mint as well.

If you get word of one, just one. I want it. Cash or trade. I have a sealed 2010 version available.

I want to purchase all of them though I wish they would have made the other four rangers in the current style of North American Legacy figure than they could fight He-man figures.
