Funny you should mention that. I found them today at a TRU (Full Peg, which was 6 of them) I hit while I was out and stood there for a good 5 minutes while a few employees looked at me, looked at the 2 Undertakers I wanted to buy, looked at the register screen, looked at each other and repeated. I'm guessing some sort of "Do Not Sell Before ____" Prompt came up on the register. After all of that they did sell me both I had which they said they had to since I had them at checkout then. The best part was as I was leaving one employee got on their radio and said "Someone get back to the WWE section and remove the 20-0 Undertakers from the pegs NOW!" And the first thing a person on the radio said back was "Which Undertaker?" I found the whole thing hilarious, and even better that there were Vendor Reps for toy companies there (Lego was one) that witnessed them dropping the ball with a dated toy. I don't think it's treated like a do not sell before a certain date figure but instead they were supposed to save it for a promotion. Probably the yearly spend a certain amount and get the Taker for free. I would keep all receipts since you can probably price match and get it for free, etc. You are probably right. For whatever reason, I'm almost positive this figure wasn't supposed to be put out until the Big Toy Book sales were active. I'll see what I can do with my receipts too. If it is anything like last year with The Rock, TRU won't have any additional Undertakers well before this is over.

If there's a don't sell before a certain street date...they won't sell them. There's been plenty of times I took figures to the register (all three Movie Masters lins, Movie toys) and everytime they wouldn't sell them. Luckily for me they'd end up putting the figures I wanted to buy in their office for me until the release date and then get them for me that day.

WHy couldn't he have come with his entrance gear? If Mattel is going to give him a chair at least put the WM XXVIII logo on it. Cool looking figure nonetheless.

MDT stated that they didn't have enough time to sculpt it. Another Taker will probably release in the Elite like next year like E23 or something.

I think mattel did an awesome job in getting this figure out so fast, but I don't understand the general frenzy about it. It's basically the same Taker figure they've been doing just with a different head. I got much more jazzed about the DM Taker & SDCC 2010 Taker. If I can get this one free as part of the TRU promo then i will pick it up. If not, I'll save my $$$ for when they put out a different Taker somebody new, like HonkyTonk Man who was shown @ RingsideFest.
