A friend of mine, who is a store manager at TRU, told me about a shipment that was there yesterday of the new Mattels. He told me to come early this morning. I did not listen and came around 4pm. 3 cases.....GONE! All that was left...1 Evan Bourne. So I got 1 of the top 2 of the basic I wanted. So it could have been worse. But Mattel's are hot.
He explained to me that he has nothing scheduled for WWE Mattel for the next 2 weeks. He said 1/1/10.......probably wont have anything new by then either. He checked the warehouse and said it was empty. Just a piece of info. for those who are considering a figure hunt on 1/1. RSC might be the best ticket.

Nice man.
My local TRU in Raritan NJ actually showed me a computer screen in the back by the bikes today when I gave him the UPC and it said they were gonna get them on 1/3. I found that odd being that 1/3 is a Sunday...I am thinking that they will probably be there on 1/4.
Luckily I already have the ones I want (in theory).
And I thought you were banned from TRU for being a Samoan?

And I thought you were banned from TRU for being a Samoan? LOL!!! First off.....I am not samoan.  Not that there is anything wrong with being samoan.  Secondly, I was banned by 1 TRU. TRU headquarters said that store managers make those decisions. And my buddy is the store manager at 1. I wish he could help me with the other....but its no biggie. Deskjet checks that one out for me. |

Off topic, but a Filipino friend of mine got so used to me calling him Samoan that he now refers to himself as...you guessed it, Samoan. |

That sucks. But I guess you learned a valuable lesson...when your body is the store manager and tells you to come to the store early you do.

Probably right and if I was truly dying for them, I would. But its not like he had the 2 packs, which is what I want. Serioulsy CM, your buddy coulda held at least a cena back somewhere for ya couldn't he have? I know one thing, Im about tired of people scalpin this stuff up like they've never made these characters before...I mean seriously He wasnt there.  I dont care about the scalpers. I just wish they would be willing to scalp to me. Dont just show up, buy and not offer to sell to me! In addition, I dont think its scalpers. TRU is EMPTY! They have very little in wrestling figures on the shelves. Hell, they had like 200 GI Joe ROC figs 2 weeks ago. Now they have 20. Only cuz they put out the new wave today. Yesterday they had 4. |

My TRU usually gets stuff late but I'm sure they'll have stuff on the first and luckily my mom said getting to TRU right when they open on the 1st is top priority

Yeah, Ringside would be the best bet to secure the new figures. Hopefully the site won't crash when everyone will be ordering. Happy Holidays!
