I just made a quick trip to TRU and was checking out the pallets, which by the way there were about 20 of them. Anyway, i talked to the guy getting ready to stock the action figures. There were about 8 cases of joe items, some vehicles and some figures. He told me that he is not allowed to open them during store hours but to come back tomorrow. He also said that TRU is stocking for X-Mas early this year. During the summer, our TRU got 1 truck a week but now we are getting 4 a week. He also said out TRU has increased orders for lots of items, but also joes. I know this is just typical holiday stuff that happens every year but i was excited to see 8 cases of joe stuff on the pallets. Couldn't see if any was wave 10, but i am going to check tomorrow morning and see what we get. I just wanted to pass this along to all of you, and i hope your TRU's get the same kind of volume of product that ours is getting...

Yes, your right. TRU is going to be getting in 4 trucks a week till Christmas. If you have a worker look up an item number, they can tell you if its coming in on the next truck. The computer will tell them there is a "Pending Manifest," if the item is on the next truck. It will also tell them on what day it arrives (ETA).

"Everything we have is out! We don't know what we're going to get until it is put on the shelf blah blah blah." Even if I give them the item number they won't look it up in the computer. I tried all that in the past. |

If I ask an employee about that I'll get the same BS answer.

Wonder if I should hit my TRU tommorrow. There is one TRU about 15 mins from house where I have bought most of my Joe Stuff. They have a pretty big space for them. Recently all they have had is Revision cases, but I be defitnetly be hitting it tommorrow to see if I have any luck.
Thanks for the tip Viper |

I don't buy this TRU claims until I see it with my own eyes! And 8 cases will be snagged up faster than a blind bat comin out of a cave.
