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.

Yep I have one and just traded a Legacy Dagger for a second one. These are long gone now. Only place to get one is by trade with someone or ebay. People started buying them up when the Dragonzord was announced.
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.

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. |

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

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.
