Dude... So our TRU is closing, they are opening a new Mega-Tru a block over in Oct, but ours is going through liquidation / closing..
Go in today looking for PoP gate set, hoping to get for $5-$6... Dude. They are getting loads of stock from old TRU warehouse. It's a complete blast from the past. They have an entire shelf packed of the 1984 SECRET WAR roller vehicle, all mint, in the box. This is insane. I couldn't believe it. I talked to the sales dude who laughed, said they couldn't believe it either, thought it was some retro throw-back packaging. But nope. Real deal. Know they had a few of these on the website awhile back, but to see them up close and the real deal at a store? 25 years later? Crazy. Also had an s-ton of old Marvel comic packs from the '90's, old Web of Spiderman and other stuff crammed in bags for $19.99 for a bag full. Strange stuff. Can't wait to see where this close-out goes. And for the haters... Pics attached!

That must have been awesome walking in and seeing that. Too bad they didn't find a box of Joes from 1984 imagine walking in and thinking it was 25th on the pegs and having it be arah figures.... I've had dreams like that!

They are the same price in the store as they were on the website awhile back - $59.99
That's a joke. No kid has that kind of cash.. Once they start liquidating to 20 & 30% off, I may pick one of these up.. Heck, some of the '90's comic packs might be worth it just for an evening of throwback fun, I even remember buying some of the exact same packs in '92 w/ my allowance @ the TRU in annapolis. I do have dreams like this though... But they are the dreams where TRU had a whole alley of boxes, with joes galore, and every trip there led to new waves of joes I didn't even know existed yet. Ah.... life before the internet was one long christmas.
