Still waiting on the shark to make it to the states. Doubt it will. My TRU received two cases of the Elite wave with the Hart Foundation, Owens and Del Rio in it today and my TRU guy said that was their last truck from the warehouse. Their distribution center is now empty. Any trucks they receive now will be from their .com and seeing they weren’t on TRU.com I doubt we’ll see it on those remaining TRU.com trucks. I was wondering why my TRU never received that wave. I hope I find the Hart Foundation when I go there this weekend, but I doubt it.  |

I think Canada will still be getting him but unsure of the USA situation. Finally got once us Canadians get a break.

The clerk at my toysrus in canada, said to me that early summer for the release of the red rooster in every toysrus in canada, just like the shark. Finally is our time after 20 years... the only thing that is sad, its there maybe 15 sharks figs at my toyrus near me, i bought one,and the rest are warmers.it will be the same for the red rooster, and if they do the same with the wendi richter fig... You guys believe random store employees too much |

Why does it surprise you that this figure is warming shelves?! The Shark sells for 40 bucks- how many people are going to pay that much for 1 figure?! I don't understand the logic here, why did they price this so high- is it because this figure is supposed to be a limited edition fig?! Network spotlight figs sell for $30 here in Canada and they are warming hard so if people are not willing to shell out 30 bucks for 1 figure then what makes TRU think that they will shell out 40?! This figure is very bland IMO, as far as the attire goes AND it comes with ZERO accessories. |

I get that non-US collectors get excited at the idea of having an exclusive figure in their country after having to chase US exclusives for years. But if we're being realistic, there's no way that these figures don't reach the US, the largest toy market in the world.
Realistically Mattel probably needs to produce at minimum 5-10,000 figures for this to be profitable. There are somewhere around 70 TRU Canada stores according their website. Do the math. On the low end that's 70 figures per store, likely more.
Bill said that they were able to stop shipment on the US shipment of the Shark before it reached TRU and they have been working to find a home for the figure. The Rooster will likely be the same situation.

My guess is either RSC or WWE Shop ... Those would be the easiest retailers for Mattel to unload them on, since there wouldn't be an issue involving national distribution centers for the big chains.
