How many people here have been to a TRU since this promotion began yesterday, and they didn't have the display?
Long story short, I don't have a TRU in my town, but today I was able to have a 3 hour window from work where I went to one an hour away, and they never received the display. I asked the assistant manager and he said they have not received it yet, but they might this week.

My TRU told me they were putting it out tomorrow. I'm not sure why there is a delay at some stores.

Get someone who cares about their job. I've been asking the MANAGER at my TRU the past week about the display. He was clueless. Today, a regular worker went to the back, ACTUALLY checked and had an idea what I was talking about. A few minutes later he brought it out for me and I got the figures I wanted. It depends on the workers... and I think all stores should have the display.

I went to 4 TRU in SoCal yesterday and none of them had it. I was in the area of my nearest TRU again today and went in but still nothing. I asked for new Elite figures and they brought me a fresh case...Of Elite Series 3! So I explained to them about the Vince promotion and the pre-packed display. Someone in the back looked and found it but it was buried so it won't go out until tomorrow or the next day.

Went to 4 TRU's today that were fairly close to each other and 2 didn't have the display. One of which had it in the back but the manager lady refused to bring it out saying it was for NEXT week WTF? Of the 2 stores that did have it one was picked over but the other had it in the back and 2 employees brought it out for me. Dont have any pics but it was awesome getting for dibs on the figs. So i picked up ryder and Miz - then Macho and Bam Bam plus Eve since their were only 2 of her. So Vince is going to be on the way soon!!
Long story short it does depend on the employees and how much space the store has in the main walkway as well. If there is too much crap in the walkway they won't even bother making space.

The guy I talked to seemed pretty helpful and I am sure they don't have it. I am going to another one an hour in the other direction (about 80 miles away to the north, and another 80 miles to the south are the closest TRUs to me) so I am hoping they got it in late too, and put it out Wednesday morning just before I get there.

Sorry to hear that so many people didn't find these yet, but hopefully I will find the figs tomorrow.

So I visited my second TRU in 3 days, this time the one 80 miles to the south. Got there today, walked around, asked someone to check and sure enough - they didn't get the display yet either, and didn't know anything about it. Grrrrr, this sucks. I don't know when I am going to get the chance to drive 90 miles away again to a TRU that is near me, although if they open a TRU express where I live, like they did last year, it would be perfect, as they would get the new stuff there. Hopefully.

It is frustrating simply because I don't live close to a TRU - if this was at Target, Wal-Mart, or K-Mart, OR able to use TRU online receipts, I would not have an issue with it. I live in a town of about 60,000, and we just don't have a Toys-R-Us. There is one south of us 80 miles, and a few NW of us about 90 miles, but none closer. Last year we had a TRU express that did extremely well, so I am hoping for that here, or I may just take a day vacation and go on a toy run, but I would hate to use one of my vacation days for that. Plus the promotion is for only 2 months. It seems like most other similar promotions are 4 - 6 months. Don't mind me, just venting a little bit.

Can I say I was massively disappointed by the display? I was expecting something pretty big I guess. It was all out of Elite 9 and most of the Legends, but they had MVP so thats 1 of the 2 I actually wanted.

I am hoping that stores that get the display, and sell down on a lot of it right away, will get replenishment of that stock. So if they sold out of Elite 9 within a few days, then maybe a couple weeks later they get another case or two of it. Hopefully that isn't it for the stores.
