This Saturday I went to the TRU in ( I rather not say), Connecticut because TRU had the SRO packs on sale for 8.99. So I go over to the Joes and there are a few wave one vehicles, like 20 rise of cobra DVD packs and quite a few wave one officer packs. So I look up at the sky to take a look and low and behold there are 4 sealed case of 6 each of the SRO packs. So I find anassociate that tells me everything is already down, so I have to get a manager who repeats the same thing, so I threaten to climb up a ladder myself when they finally agree to go up and get them. So after all the yelling and fighting they bring down one case and tell me they are all the same. I state that I want them to open ALL 4 of the cases, and after seeing the crazy look in my eye, they do and guess what??? 24 pcs of greenshirts, crimson guard, and blue dudes. I felt really dumb and sorry I made them go through all that so the point of my story is that it will be a while before Connecticut sees wave 2 of these SRO packs. This is the third TRU in Connecticut where I made the employees do this, they are all up to their necks in wave 1. Any one else experience this?

Sometimes the thrill of the hunt takes over and reason is a distant memory.

I know, even though I get everthing from BBTS now I cannot see paying 29.99 for these, I will just be patient!

Even the sale last weekend moved next-to-no product off the shelves of my local TRU stores. I doubt I'll find Wave 2 anytime soon. I'll probably have to wait until TRU has then on the web site in stock...

Yeah, but if you didn't ask you would have driven yourself crazy on the ride home! Any sealed box that says GI Joe I'm gonna tear into.

Huh... Guess those employees do know what they're talking about sometimes.
The IG and Air Command sets are both available and both have free shipping offers as of this post. Might be wiser than showing your face at TRU for a while. |
