Now that I have your attention, here's a little nugget I am not sure anyone is using:
Take the barcode from a 30th Anniversary figure assortment (any single figure) with you into your TRU, especially if they don't have any displayed. As a team member to scan the Barcode and check for stock. I have done this twice since last Thursday, and both time the team member found one box in the back NOT stocked on the floor. They had no idea why it wasn't put out, and it had been in inventory for a few days. SOmething is amiss in the TRU pull-through inventory system. That may be why we aren't getting them. This happened in the San Diego are, at stores in two of the far reaches of the county. Both times the clerks were HAPPY to get the box, and let me cherry pick what I wanted. The case packout is two Vipers, two Troopers, three HazVips two IGs two SBs, and one stalker. I know this might blow my chances of completing my Viper fire team, but this is the reason we are a community. I hope this works for you, as it has for me. Now you know...

Nice!
I think I read somewhere that "street date" was around Sept 20... I could be wrong, but it could also explain why they haven't gotten out everywhere yet. |

I've asked and they won't help you find something to buy. They act like helping customers is too much work. I don't know why they even open up in the morning.

I used to work for Tru about 10 years ago, there was really no system, the stock rooms were usually a mess, and finding anything would usually have me climbing boxes to get to them.
I am sure it is more organized now...but employees (usually teenagers) really just don't care to look. |

I would try this but the two TRUs near me have restock with a case of ROC figures and a case of POC Wave 2. I don't think I'll find any new figures at those two anytime this decade.

Who cares?? If other people really want new Joes, they would do the same thing. Since he is the first in his area, he should get first dibs.
