Never had an issue with any order from tru us, never ordered from Target. I've also never seen a peasant wearing a £65 Polo Shirt, I have however seen many wearing the £10 a pop Ralph Lauren from Dagenham Market Peasant lol. Very middle ages.

A nice sentiment, but Mattel and WWE are global blue chip companies. Fred Perry is a peasants uk clothing line All of a sudden its popular with a few people and it's prices have shot up. Why on earth would you buy a Fred Perry polo over a Ralph Lauren one? I've got Polo's in vegas and Florida for 20 dollars a pop. They are at least 75 in Bond Street, and they are different class to Fred Perry. In the us, every person wears ralp lauren. Everything fits baggy. Fred Perry on the other hand, have a more classic style, fit and in my opinion, are better made. Been wearing since 2004 and hate not being able to find anywhere, but online. That is not not due to Ralph Lauren, its due to the average American historically dressing like their mum bought them clothes to grow into!!! In the last few years I notice young Americans dressing much better. More european stores and tailored fits. They do a custom fit and a slim fit polo, and dress shirt nowadays. Im slim but 10-12 lbs overweight and the slim fit is great. You dont feel like you are going to take off with a gust of wind!!

Its a fad. Their clobber is pony. Hahah. No jeckyl Fred Perrys down there!?!!' No demand.... Ralph do have a lot of pony clothing as well. (Jeckyl and hide = schnide Pony and trap = crap Todays cockney lesson for the US)

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet or not, as im at work and cant sit and read all the comments but for the british guys that are saying about the lack of places to buy exclusives since wrestling world closed down, ive recently discovered amerchandise.co.uk, again they are pretty over priced and but they are good for exclusives and some past line stuff

They put me off buying Mattels for the longest time. Then I found a Smyths and realized the WWE Line wasn't all '£28 And up' for a single figure.

Tbh I tend to only use them for things I can't find anywhere else in the uk such as exclusives or old lines that aren't in stock anywhere, I got a sweet deal on a flashback triple h elite, think it was like £12 so it's not all bad

I've gotta admit after buying basically all my figures from wrestling world for years, it did take me by surprise when I saw a new elite for like £18 in a smyths. I thought it was a mistake at first!!

I live in Alabama, my internet runs off of pigeon carriers, and Walmart was built out of logs with straw roof. I preordered from toys r us and they sent me the figure 3 months after hitting store. Target and Kmart online ship me anything but what I order. THANK GOD for RSC or I'd collect pine cones instead of figures. RSC in my case is worth paying double at times BC paying $3 for an elite is pointless when they mail me a broomstick. #SECfootballisallthatweoffertheworld

Didnt bill or someone say that an overseas store would carry these? I don't know/remember if he did or not...but JokerFC asked me to look for a TRU exclusive Cena for his nephew last week and I told him I haven't seen it since Nov, but would keep my eyes open but he told me two days ago to forget it because he ordered it from the UK TRU.com...so they are getting the TRU exclusives overseas.

There isn't a UK toysrus.com, but we can order some items from the US site. The U.K. site is toysrus.co.uk and they don't have the exclusive Cena.

TRUs suck in the US because they jack up the price on everything for no reason. If a figure is $9.99 at retail, they mark it up to $14.99. And then they tell you all about how they will price match anyone. You have to price match with other stores just to get normal prices. Screw TRU, I haven't been to one in years.
That's weird about Target cancelling your order, that sounds like something ebay sellers do, as individuals who can pay attention to all their sales, not something a big faceless company could do. I wonder what that micromanaging position is called?
