So I got bored and decided to share with everyone what my TRU has and has not received since Mattel took over. It started out so well and has started getting kind of spotty. If I left a series blank, my store got at least 1 case. I just thought this would be a nice visual at what TRU has not received. My question is does your TRU follow the same pattern or have they gotten anything mine has not?
Basics 1. 2 3. 4. NEVER GOT IN 5. My store got half a case from a TRU express that closed- only Melina, Knox, & R-Truth 6. 7. 8. NEVER GOT IN 9. NEVER GOT IN 10.
Elite 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. NEVER GOT IN 7. NEVER GOT IN 8. NEVER GOT IN
2 packs 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. NEVER GOT IN 7. 8. NEVER GOT IN 9. NEVER GOT IN 10. NEVER GOT IN
Legends 1. 2. 3. 4. NEVER GOT IN
PPV 1. 2. NEVER GOT IN survivor series 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. NEVER GOT IN wm heritage 2

My nearest TRU just got in Legends 3, when I had seen them way back in December at another store. They are so hit and miss I can't even tell you what they've missed out on. I can't really count on them to find anything, so I feel your pain, my man. The golden age of WWE figs showing up regularly at TRU (the Jakks era) has long since passed. Those days were a lot less frustrating/exasperating/fruitless.
I think my local stores have had pretty much the same (lack of) selection that yours have had. No Basic 10 yet, though. I've never even seen Basic 8 anywhere in my area. Did find Tag 9 at Wal-Mart today, though. It's a real crap shoot these days.

My TRU is loaded with Legends 2 packs, Legends 2, WM Exclusives & Basics 3! The newest thing they have is DM2 and they have a ton of them!

I wanna play too! Since there are 3 TRUs that I was visiting weekly...they all pretty much have been the same story
Basic 1- multiple cases (all) Basic 2- multiple cases (all) Basic 3- multiple cases (all) Basic 4- one case (only 1 of the 3) Basic 5- one case at each Wrestlemania 26 Basic- 5 cases at each Basic 6- one case at each Basic 7- one case at 2, 0 at the third Basic 8- nothing yet Basic 9- nothing yet
2 Packs 1- multiple cases (all) 2 Packs 2- multiple cases (all) 2 Packs 3- one case at each 2 Packs 4- one case at each 2 Packs 5- at least 2 cases at each Wrestlemania 26- at least 4 cases each 2 Packs 6- none 2 Packs 7- one case at 2, 0 at the third 2 Packs 8- one case without Khali/Hardy each
PPV 1- 3 cases each PPV 2- 2 cases each PPV 3- 4 cases each PPV 4- 1 case at one, none at the others PPV 5- 1 case at one, none at the others PPV 6- 1 case at one, none at the others PPV 7- nothing yet
Elite 1- two cases at each Elite 2- three cases at each Elite 3- three cases at each Wrestlemania 26 Elite- four cases at each Elite 4- one case at each Elite 5- nothing yet Elite 6- nothing yet Elite 7- nothing yet Elite 8- nothing yet
Legends 1- at least 5 cases each Legends 2- one case at one, none at the others Legends 3- one case each Legends 4- nothing yet All Stars 2 Packs- at least 3 cases each Legends 2 Packs- at least 6 cases each
To say that it's been all over the place is an understatement. I actually miss Jakks some days JUST because of their perfect distribution....it was like clockwork. Every store got at least 2 cases of every series. No skipping ahead. Once and awhile you'd find an older series stocked 1 case which was cool if I missed something...but most of the time the pegs were well stocked and I could always get what I needed.

TRU is the land of the dead these days. It's pretty sad. No wonder Walmart is the #1 Toy store in the US.

Instead of posting what they haven't stocked, I'll just post what they have gotten since the Mattel launch.
Basic - Series 1, 2, and 3. Elite - Series 1, 3, and 5 2-packs - Series 1, 4, 5, and 7 Legends - Series 1 WrestleMania 26 - All of them PPV Series - WrestleMania Heritage, Elimination Chamber, Royal Rumble Heritage All Stars - All of them
That's pretty much it. This is the main reason why I have stopped looking at wrestling figures whenever I'm at TRU.

My Toys R Us got in about the first 4 series' and then stopped. Not to mention they're like $50 dollars a piece over there.

Are you in the Bay Area? Sounds exactly like my nearest store. Glad they got Series 10, though! So I got bored and decided to share with everyone what my TRU has and has not received since Mattel took over. It started out so well and has started getting kind of spotty. If I left a series blank, my store got at least 1 case. I just thought this would be a nice visual at what TRU has not received.
