If every Target/TRU/Wal-Mart burned to the ground it wouldn't stop me from getting all my figures. I haven't bought a figure from Target since Hall of Fame #2, and then before that was Hall of Fame #1. I haven't bought a figure from TRU is months and even then it was just a pick up for a friend. Honestly the only figures I buy at brick & mortar stores are the store exclusives.

It IS stupid, but everybody has their own opinion. I personally never cared for it... like at all. I do understand they hype for it and all that, but things like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, exc... just aren't my cup of tea. Agreed! Nothing against Star Wars fanatics, but I could never get into them. For me, it's wrestling figures and figures based on video games I like. I've also got a few DC Collectibles based on TV shows I like. For what it's worth, my Dad was an Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Jim Carry, John Gooman, and John Candy guy. We watched a lot of those kind of movies growing up. Still, I gave Star Wars a chance recently and it was boring :/ |

I scored Nikki Bella at mine today. They had 2 sections at my store. Do some investigating before you leave the store. Listen you clown. I walked in the store saw the WWE figures they put in front and go straight to where they have WWE figures. The space was completely empty. It had the WWE thing hanging from the top but it was empty. I looked through all the action figures aisles and everything else was the same. Since I'm a clown, I'll honk my clown horn next time I go to TRU and find figures. I'm making sad clowny face because you can't find any. You are an Internet tough guy who would get owned in person. Please refrain from acting like a punk. I was offering up advice as all of the TRU's are moving their figures around and both near me have 2 sections in new places. Take your anger out in a healthy way. JeeZ...so angry over toys. |

I only have one TRU in my area. The one I went too didnt have a WWE section it was cleared out. I literally said in my post they had 4 john cenas in the front by where you walk in(1). Then went to the action figure area(I been there before I know where the WWE figures are because I did some investigating pretty easy investigation because the aisle was labeled) went to the same aisle(2) it was cleared out and went through all the aisles and there was none in the other aisles either.

That slap to the face... my thoughts exactly!
The 6" Star Wars Black line kicks the S--- out of anything Mattel has done with WWE. Best 6" / 7" figures on the market!
SWB is on the market? I read about cool figures like Commander Cody, but all I ever see is Obi Wan. I won't argue the awesome that is Boba Fett's figure, and Sandtrooper is probably my favorite $20 figure ever, but most of them have such gummy plastic joints that I could see them ripping/warping in less than 10 years. |

Same deal for my store in MD, which had been swimming in Elite 35 and Elite 36 figures as of just last week. Figures right when the sale hits the figures magically disappear.

TRU resets are pretty much universally carried out at the same time with the same spacing for items based on holiday expectations. I did 1/3rd of the boys section reset at my store and it was pretty saddening to see WWE go from 8 feet to 4, while Minecraft and Jurassic World were expanded. Also shocking to see them want a reduction in space for TMNT items.

Star Wars is awesome. The new figures look like crap though. I'm interested in the 6" line. I'll definitely pick-up Kylo Ren.
I will never understand the desire for SW in this scale. Ive seen lots of pegwarmers in this series, and more recently, overpriced deluxe exclusives hitting clearance (jabba, speeder bike)Wonder how the scale Tie fighter, priced at $179, will go over.

The first wave of SW 6" were great, then they made the mistake of putting out too much of Series 2 and re-releasing most of those figures in other assortments in addition to cheaping out on paint apps. That Jabba figure had a better SDCC version, but the speeder bikes were great.

Just got back from checking my tru after work, still trying to find Neville. They clearly were in the middle of a reset, but like almost everyone else, no wwe merch out anywhere -_-. Very frustrating honestly....i mean nothing!

Oddly enough, the local TRU moved their WWE section to where the DC section is supposed to be. It still has the DC sign there.
