Just got back from Toys R Us and shockingly found 2/6 of Elite 10, picked up R-Truth because I have everyone else except for Dibiase which I still need to find...
Anyway, is it just me or has Toys R Us slowly become the #1 store to find new figures again? I mean they have been the first to get basic 10-12, elite 9, 2 packs 10, Defining Moments 4, Summerslam Heritage, and 1 of the first to get Elite 10, not to mention the new TRU exclusive Wrestlemania series.
TRU had been lagging behind majorly for the better part of Mattel's run with the WWE line with Walmart and Target being the destinations to find new figures, but I am starting to believe that Toys R Us has finally pulled ahead, especially since Walmart and Target have been lacking lately (especially Walmarts around me)
what does everyone else think?

A few of my local stores are still slacking but sometimes they surprise me. I would agree they are slowly becoming good again but need to keep up the momentum.

DM 4 is at TRU? I haven't seen it at any by me yet. But yes, they have stepped it up.

Probably just due to the Vince promo. Not to be negative, but it will probably be garbage again soon. lol.
My TRU is the same as it always was, just for the record.

I only wish the TRU near me was that great. I went yesterday and there was no Elite 10, Basic 12, 2 packs 10, Defining Moments 4 (they still don't even have 3), WM 27 or SummerSlam Heritage.

My TRU has been really great lately too but as stated above...it may just be because of the Vince McMahon figure promotion.
I hope not though.

I'm just saying TRU near me hasn't got anything new since the Vince display. I wish I could find some new stuff like everyone else has been.

That's the first I've heard of TRU having Elite 10. I found Basic 12 earlier this week, but other than that, TRU is still sucking away here.

MY TRU was great the first week of the Vince promotion. But since then they have really "pooped the bed". I went today since Thursday is the day my TRU receives the new truck and I need two more figure to get my Vince. Was also hoping to get some Basic 12, DM4 & two pack 10 sets. They had absolutely nothing new at all. I ended up leaving with an Iron Sheik & Piper/Orton two pack (wanted or needed neither) just so I don't miss out on Vince. I would have LOVED to have walked in and found DM4 Austin or Elite 10 Big Shows. While I do agree some TRU stores have improved drastically, mine hasn't much.

Yup, TRU is usually my best bet for new figures. I try and stop by a few times a week.

As of late, I agree. I hope they keep it up, because unlike the other dept stores, they will get stuff out of the back & not lie.

Mine too. My TRU has literally not received in ONE single new WWE since the McMahon display came out on July 1st with Elite 9, Legends 5, and Basic 11. They got put out ONCE and never restocked, and now all we have is about 9 Basic 11 Sheamus figures and a lot of DM Warrior and The Rock.

I hope Mattycollector sells them or RSC strikes a deal. I don't know why TRU exclusive has to be a GD debacle, they don't even list the new figs (L5, E9, E10)on their site. /bitchin

My local Toys R Us is very good. They have a whole aisle dedicated to wrestling. Today I picked up The All-Star Jake Roberts and Orton and WrestleMania 27 Alberto Del Rio.

My TRU has been better but I am not ready to pat them on the back just yet. If they continue to stock recent releases and keep the pegs full then I will be happy with them. They have disappointed me too many times in the past.
