My TRU just got in a case of the JR set. It'll be a while before it gets the Bearer set. Trying not to weep... same here, except mine still hasn't even put out the JR series yet!! and they want to do more BAF sets with Heenan and Jimmy Hart?! Christ,I'll never,ever find these! I've had to buy the last three sets online at scalped prices. I can't bring myself to pay $100+ for the Paul Bearer set. I have ZERO want for the four figures that one has to acquire to build the one desirable figure. I'm almost about to call BS on Mattel's BaF line. It should be Elite only, every Basic set rots on the shelves.

I honestly wish they'd stop doing them. at first they were great,but now they've become impossible to do, either finding only some of the figures,or none at all. there's other ways to include these figures into the line, whether it be BP's, mail-away's,RSC exclusives.etc. just drop the whole BAF concept because Toys R Us' distribution sucks beyond horribly!

The closest tru has mostly old white cards /boxes on the shelf, with the exception for the new case of e28 that was stalked, after the random e24 restock. You'd think that they'd want to make a move and get rid of old product and have only new and current stuff. Kinda disappointing for being "the world's biggest toy store"

Just throwing this out into the either...what if...instead of TRU, Mattel distributed the BaF's through Amazon? The world would be a better place.

The world would be a better place. that too! just some way other than TRU, and really Target and Wal-Mart can be just as bad when it comes to exclusives sometimes. even just stagger them out throughout the year. this year saw 3 BAF lines, one for Jim Ross,one for Paul Bearer, and one this fall for Corporate Kane. so that's 12 figures total, 4 for each line. well,you've got 12 months in the year, if they're not open to 4 exclusive figures at once, release one per month, and it will give people something to build towards. this TRU "can't get them in stock" BAF bulls#$t has got to stop! hell, I never even found all the Heyman figures at retail,only Brock and Punk! rest had to get online!

Every time this works it's way back up to the top of the page I check, hoping, just hoping it's someone saying "Hey, I found it!"
Wouldn't that be nice?

I still see tons of Heyman and even some leftover Johnny. Waaaaay too much Booker, a lot more Teddy than there should still be, and maybe like one case total of JR.
