*Up to 40%. "More stock coming in daily"
Just lies upon lies to get people in.

Had a look in today as I was passing, WWE stuff is at 30%. I think they must be digging out everything in storage as there were some toys (non WWE) from a few years back, sadly nothing exciting. 90s style slap bracelets with names like Edward and George... perhaps those were actually from the 90s.
They seem to have found a whole case of Emma figures that weren't there last time... or at any other time I've been there as I recall. Otherwise nothing of note but it might be worth checking your nearest TRU on the off chance that they might have unearthed something worthwhile. Maybe not.

I wouldn't get too hopeful, I can't imagine why they'd hold on to old stock in their warehouse, perhaps they might have a couple of old boxes that they'd forgot about. I guess excessive stock they can't shift gets passed onto the likes of TK Maxx, B&M and Home Bargains etc.- at least I think that's how those stores work.

Of course I know there's more chance of winning the lottery than finding those series in TRU. Be interesting to see if any stores in the country, and across the US once they close there too, manage to unearth a ridiculously old case of something.

Just got a shelf peg for 50p
They are selling some displays, might be nice for a collector?

Went in yesterday and there was barely anything left. There was a shelf with a load of random stuff on it and a sign that says "Price as marked" one of the items in there was the Bellas two pack for £19.99 with the card missing from the packaging! Literally the figures in the plastic bubble, taped together.
Also they were selling their stationery, paper clips, staples, first aid kit refills, eye wash and even a 'bodily fluid disposal' kit.

When I was in mine the other day I enquired about the huge Star Wars banner thing, hoping to maybe get my hands on the Rey part. Apparently it's all one thing though so there's no way I'd be able to fit that anywhere even before discussing price.

Went into the Gateshead one for the final time today, felt like a morgue would have been more cheerful as the whole place was deserted.
Had a good run and it's a damn shame it was mismanaged for so many years.
RIP TRU.

Well I've just doubled my collection Mattel Elites! 4 days left at my store so I decided to pay one last visit out of respect; shocking state to see the store in - most of the store is cordoned-off, there were maybe 300 items max left on the shelves, and things like ladders and monitors are on sale for £20. All the stock was 70% off, with an extra 30% off at the tills. The only WWE stuff they had left was three identical figures of Sycho Sid Elite (I don't know which series, but it's marked as 'First Time in the Line'), so since Sid is from my era of fandom I felt compelled to buy one last wrestling figure from TRU. I chose the card in best condition, but all three were pretty wrecked - debating whether to open him or not, I guess he'll never be of any particular value either way. He was marked at £14.99, and I paid £3.15 after all the discounts - slightly cheaper than the new Hasbros cost there when I was a kid, which I suppose tells its own story. So Sid joins the Isaac Yankem I got at Comic-Con last July in my Elites collection - at this rate, I'll have the full set in no time Can't imagine visiting that shopping park much after this - no less than three discount/pound stores around TRU, with other outlet stores, a Costa and a Carphone Warehouse on offer; not quite the glory days of TRU, Children's World, Comet, Currys and Habitat. Sad to see.
