Wed my wife gave me a StormShadow for my b-day from the ROC line. Not bad. A good looking Ninja with very little leg movement and a hand that needs adjustment.
So Friday we were shopping at KMart and I spotted a Cobra Commander and picked it up. Needs a new head. Then Saturday I read on here that TRU was doing a 2 for 10 deal. Heck that is easier than waiting for them to hit the discount bin after Christmas. So we loaded up in the Volvo and headed to Greensburg, PA to the nearest TRU according to the internet. They had almost nothing but CC and BBQ. Crap that. My wife decided we could find the Pittsburgh TRU out of sheer luck late Saturday evening. We got lost, then lost some more. Never did find a TRU. Finally made it back to Indiana, PA late in the evening. This morning my wife gets up and says, "Let's go to the Johnstown, PA TRU." That's why I love her. We got there after lunch and they had a BUNCH of figures. Great selection. I snagged a Destro and a Shipwreck(her favorite) and a couple vipers for good measure because they were half price. On the way out they rang up way higher than I'd want to spend. The sale went off yesterday. But the sign was still up. So they sent someone to take down the left over sale sign, but honored the sale price...so I picked up the last 4 2 for 9.99 Joes at TRU this week. I'm up in PA for the summer taking some classes. These six action figures will have to keep me company the rest of the summer in the dorm room. |

My TRU had a decent amount of figures. Mostly Vipers, BBQ, Desert Duke, and camo Heavy Duty.
Oh and Accelerator suit Ripcord. |

State to state varies but the retailer is generally obligated to honor the advertised price. Their loss, your gain.

What 2 for $9.99 deal? I keep going to TRU and Walmart because people here keep talking about this deal, but none of the employees even know what I am talking about.

I used to live in Pennsylvania. In the area in which you are...there are a tremendous amount of stores you can visit. From Indiana you can travel down to Greensburg where you will find a Target and a Walmart right of of Rt. 30 at the Rt. 30/Rt. 66 Intersections. When you wnet to the TRU in Greensburg, you could travel another 10-15 minutes towards Latrobe for another Walmart. Travel east on 30 and you will come to another Target in Irwin, PA. Travel up 66 towards Indiana there is a Walmart in Delmont, PA. There is also a neat little store behind Westmoreland Mall, the big mall next to the TRU in Greensburg called Cash-In Culture that sells vintage toys as well as newer toys. They are right next to the Buffalo Wild Wings in the little plaza behind the mall. Good luck hunting near my old stomping grounds!

By the way...I visited 3 TRU on the Eastern Shore of Maryland for the past week. The had the same assortments with Desert Duke, Vipers, Destro and Shipwreck, Zartan as well as the Firefly and Barbeque. I swear hey never restocked the entire week...I did not see the wave with Helix or PP Snake Eyes. I'm sure with the sale over, we will start to see the other waves put out.

You know, you could have saved yourself gas and time by just ordering them from TRU directly.
The sale was online too. |

I was in an apartment for most of the summer. This weekend (amid Cobra hunting) I moved into the dorm. I'm only going to be here 2 weeks and don't want to mess with mail. So I couldn't order off line.
Besides, I prefer the hunt. Online makes things to easy sometime. I now have about all that I want of the ROC so far. I have SS, Destro, Shipwreck, CC, and a couple of the vipers. I'm good until the next sale and I can pick up a few more vipers to have at their command. |
