It's not true. Certainly not in the case of PTE toys. There has been a bit of talk about this for years, but they still sell these toys in Australia, and we have some very strict regulations on this sort of thing.
Besides, I think the story goes that it was lead in the paint on the figures that was the problem. Just so we're clear, it's not a problem.

Never said PTE. It was actually some "Elite Operations" toys, and while the A-10 apparently wasn't part of the recall, the timing of it not being sold at TRU is coincidental with the timing of the recall (2007). It is interesting that the "elite operations" label is still sold at TRU with the chinook type chopper.
It's funny that you mention the lead paint. Last year's & probably this year's too PTE boxes have some sort of lead warning stickers on them. "Elite Operations" is no longer sold at TRU. If yours does have some then it is probably ancient stock.

I didn't see any jets or any buildings either. The watchtower now comes in tan which is pretty cool. Maybe that's old news, but I've only seen it in green.

They (Big Lots) have Halloween stuff out right now and getting rid of the summer stuff. I think the big PTE stuff would be out just right before Thanksgiving.

Yes the good old days of KB and Toy works. The prices were always a little higher on Joes and PTE but at least it was an option. You should check out ToyZam in your area. We have one here but it's only open during the holiday season. However they carry PTE and Joes. I always seem to find off the wall PTE items that never turn up at Big lots. Last year I found the motorcycle with side car sets.

Is the gray TRUE HEROES F22 still being sold? I just returned to my parents house and my little brother got into my stuff in the garage and lost the wings to my black one. I wanted to display it with my new and old Skystrikers.

Big Lots usually has the PTE stuff out way before that. The employees I spoke with said that they begin their holiday toy reset in September. From my experience, everything is on the shelves by Halloween.
