A couple of days ago, I happened to find a pre-order on Amazon for the Fantastic Four boxset. It said it was a TRU exclusive. Here is a the link for a look: www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0001ZZQXA/qid=1093938120/sr=1-6/ref=sr_1_6/104-8320930-6319161?v=glance&s=toysYet tonight, I was at the Walmart in Howell, MI and found 2 Fantastic Four boxsets for $30 each. Now I feel kind of dumb for telling a friend of mine a couple hours prior that the set was exclusive to TRU. I wonder if Toybiz told TRU that it would be exclusive to them and then changed their minds, or if TRU got bad information.

TRU likely got bad info. But you never know. A couple years ago, I got a Wolverine two pack, with a resculpted movie Logan, and comic Wolvie. Right on the side of the box, it said: TRU exclusive. Well that's fine, except that I bought it at KB.

As did I. Never once did I see it at TRU. The story I've heard a couple times, but can't confirm, is that it was a TRU exclusive in Canada, and didn't exactly fly off shelves. For whatever reason, KB purchased the surplus, and started to sell it in their US stores. I guess they just didn't feel the need to change the packaging. In any event, I wasn't going to pass it up for 4 bucks.

When I worked at KB we used to get a lot of old TRU exclusive stuff. They were just old stock that we bought out from them.
