TRU isn't great for Mattels. Wal Mart seems to be the place to go. My only grudge with Wal-Mart is how they order figures per store. A store an hour away has Legends 1 and 2 with an entire end cap of Best of 2010 (there were total of 12 Cena's on one shelf...for some reason they arranged the figures by wrestler). Another 2 about 45 and 30 min away have basic 5 and 6 with limited basic 4 and Best of. My Wal Mart 5 min from my house only has stocked Best of on an end cap (same count as other store with about 12 Cena's) lots of Elimination Chambers (got loads of cases in of that), and remaining basic 4. All the Wal Marts have tag team 5, some have Elite 4, while some have Elite 4 and 5. With no Target or TRU in town, and KB closed at my mall, it's frustrating trying to find 1/1000's and Legends.

My TRU has like 49 figures of Mickie James, a few 2-packs from Series 2 and 4 (Carlito/Primo and Dreamer/Christian), a couple Elite Ted DiBiase's and Entrance Greats Shawn Michaels. It's been the same crap since the begining of the summer. Literally the EXACT same figures.
The only thing I've gotten at TRU since February is the Elite Scale Ring 2 weeks ago which I was SHOCKED that they actually got in.

I found that at my TRU the other day, and was shocked as well they actually got something new. They also got Legends Series 1 first, but I haven't seen Legends 2 there or anything else worth buying. I really thought TRU was gonna get better with Mattel over time, but they seem to have gotten worse.

I don't know. I went to TRU a few days back and they had a full case of Basic 5 out. I was back yesterday and all they had was Mickie and Jericho from series 3 (and en masse). It looks like they get only one or two cases total of Basic in and they sell out fast.

Its sucks cause my TRU is a half hour away , and I always go and leave disappointed . They are also still on Series 2 Elites and Series 3 Basics . I ordered the WM26 set off the website to avoid having to go there .

I rarely find anything there... don't think I bought any WWE Mattel stuff there considering it comes out at Walmart and Target first and I usually snatch it up then. I think the last time I made a wrestling purchase there was when the Jakks figures were marked down to like $2.23. If it wasnt for them getting in Gremlins or Back to the Future stuff, I might not ever go in one again. But i'm old enough to probably stop going in Toys R Us lol.

Speaking of TRU if you are a rewards card member check your email I just received a email with a 20% off coupon for today only on one item. For those that don't have the ESR yet this would be a great time to get it.
