Hey guys,
What do you think about looking for figures at Toys R Us? I used to find all my Jakks WWE toys at a TRU in Torrance, CA a couple of years ago, but it seems that, aside from the initial launch of the Mattel line, they just don't stock up on anything new there. Every time I go, I see the same Shelton Benjamin & Ted Dibiase toys that I saw on those same shelves 18 months ago.
I haven't been collecting regularly, and I haven't been visiting this board lately, so did I miss anything about TRU not stocking up regularly, or is it just the TRU in my neighborhood?

TRU was a waste of time for a good chunk of the WWE line last year, but now they seem to be getting everything and it's nice again. I still buy most of my WWE stuff at Walmart though, they seem to get stuff fastest.

The problem with my TRU is that they get waaaaaaaaaaaay too many cases of the same series. So we are stuck with the same series for awhile. I never expect to find anything good at TRU.

I think it's great. I have found the Nexus 2 packs, Extreme Rules, Legends 6, WM 27 figures & the Elimination Chamber there recently. I'd say it's been the best store overall.

TRU has jacked up their prices to absurd highs...and all they stock are junk....anything good (like Elite 9 for example) they get a case in. Yet there were literally 7 cases of Wrestlemania 27 Elites stocked within a week recently.
They skip series, they don't stock anything in order. It is an absolute NIGHTMARE shopping for WWE figures at TRU

They are better than they were this time last year, but still have a lot of improving to do. Their prices are simply not competitive any more unless they have a sale. BTW L6 Eddie and Warrior are on the website for $12.99. The Von Erichs are sold out or not yet put in stock.

I like TRU when they have sales like this past week. I bought 2 Wrestlemania figures and got 1 free. I bought another basic and upped my total to over $30 and was able to get the WTWM Rock for free. That is basically 40 bucks for 5 figures, not a bad deal at all.

The WM line pretty much killed TRU for me. Outside the Vince promo set-up and an odd wave of basics the majority of the stock they have all year are the WM figures.

TRU got really good around April this year. First store to get B10, 11, 2-packs 10, Elite 9 and 10, and some Legends set. Last year, TRU was crap. 2011 was a big turn around.
