So I went to 2 different TRUs this morning.
First one I get to has the display up, it was 100% full & untouched. They had multiples of every Elite Series 9....except Miz
There was not 1 Miz among the group.
Went to a second TRU shortly after, there were 3 Elites missing from the bunch...again no Miz left. I highly doubt someone would only buy 3 Miz', unless they were just a crapty scalper.
I'm a little worried though...why would TRU have a display packed by Mattel but NOT have a full set of Elite 9?
anyone else run into an issue like this?

They just sent TRU the cases and a display TRU has to put it together. Is there another case assortment for Elite 9? We know Series 7 & 8 had at lease 2 case assortments.

As I just said in another thread I think the displays were just filled randomly. Some are missing people while others have everyone but in different amounts. Kind of stupid if you ask me. They should have all been exactly the same.

PJ, I could be misreading you but the whole display is completely set up on the pallet. There is plain brown cardboard box covering it, with something like WWE Promotion stamped on the side. All the guy has to do is make a couple cuts and pull the card box upward. Voila, new wrestlers. When I first saw it, it was over by the bikes near a stockroom door. I asked one of the guys if it was going to the floor, he said yes, and slid it halfway across the store to the figures aisle. He didn't even use a pallet jack.

I was at one TRU today and they had just pulled the display off the truck(at my request) and it was preloaded and strapped closed. All we had to do was cut the plastic straps and take the 'lid' off. It was fully loaded with everything. I do think TRU was shipped cases of product to refill the display during the promotion.

My Toys R Us put out the display on Friday and there was not 1 Miz there either but multiples of others.

I have seen only 1 Elite 9 Miz so far during this promotion and no Luke Gallows at all. MVP and Kofi seem to be the most plentiful followed by Orton and Ryder.

I got the last Miz at TRU in Brandon (Tampa). No Ryders. Bunches of Orton and Kofi in addition to Legends Series 5. Also had a few Basics of Daniel Bryan

I got there what couldn't be too long after they put it out, and there was only 1 Miz, Luke & MVP. 2 Ryders and the rest a ton of Ortons/Kofis. Miz was the last one I picked up, so I got him and Ryder. I'll go back to get Orton and Kofi at a later time.

Someone that works at TRU might have grabbed them before putting them out.

I asked one of the guys if it was going to the floor, he said yes, and slid it halfway across the store to the figures aisle. He didn't even use a pallet jack. That's what I thought at first also, because the Green Lantern pallet/display came directly from Mattel already assembled as well. Maybe I misunderstood my guy this morning, but he said "It was still in the back on a pallet and needed to get set up." But like I said in my thread when I went in there was zero Elites on the pegs and no display so I asked my TRU guy and he checked the store inventory on the computer and the store inventory was zero and I asked when the next truck was because people were finding that display at their stores. He then said that doesn't come with their warehouse trucks it's a special item that comes from the vendor and that was why it wasn't showing up on their inventory when he typed Elites into the computer. He then said I'll check the back to see if we have anything yet. When he came out he said "There's a skid full of product in the back but it hasn't been setup yet." He then asked who I was looking for and came out with them a few minutes later. But he left the display back there so I figured it needed to be put together.

Yeah, the Vince Display Stand is definitely not put together by TRU.... all they do is take a large cardboard box off, stick a WWE sign on top, and that is it.
It is the same way KMart got their displays that had Legends 4... I had a KMart guy 'unload it' for me and it had all of Legends 4(multiple Warriors, Demolition, etc.) but didn't have ANY Mr. Wonderful's!
They must throw those things together at Mattel without counting perfectly. My TRU display had everyone, but it was pretty disproportionate (except for Basic 11... they were packed exactly as described on here)
But TRU certainly doesn't set it up.

Off topic: Is TRU closed tomorrow in the States? Just curious.

My TRU had an even number I think besides Gallows? 2 Miz 2 MVP 2 Ryder 1 Gallows and then it seemed like maybe more of Orton and Kofi? Not sure but they definitely had 2 of Miz. Interesting to hear they were packed unevenly. The Basic 11 sets looked like correct breakdowns with 2 full sets, Eve is 1 per I think and there were 2. I didn't pay attention to the L5 breakdown.
