So I was curious about trying to find the TRU Seth Rollins. I ended up going online and doing one of those chats with a TRU representative. When I asked if she could look up the information, she said that: "I'm sorry but this item has not yet been released. The release date is October 28, and stores will be placing them on or after that day."
Now, we know that to be a lie as many people are finding them. So, for those of you calling in to your local stores, if you can't get the employee to visually confirm that they don't have them, it might just be their system. It strikes me odd though that some stores are ignoring the release date, and just putting them out already. I didn't want to mention to her that some people have got them out of an irrational fear that she may contact someone higher up, and have the items pulled until the release date--mentioning it wasn't going to get her to tell me anything different if their system is still showing pre-order.
Basically, we're hunting without the aid of technology at this point. No trackers. No inventory checks.

Stores are apparently just stocking their aisles with this figure before the actual release date, and the system isn't being updated to reflect whether they have it or not. Makes me question how they are ringing up though. I'm not saying people didn't get it, I'm just trying to reconcile the information I just obtained, with the fact that if it isn't in their system, it won't ring up. My best guess is possibly the TRU Rep lied.

I still have mine on Pre-Order dammit! The only reason I got it through pre-order was to get it before anyone else, hence the term PRE-order. I'm kinda ticked off too, and if they are releasing them now, why can't they at least ship out my order and everyone else's orders?
Edit: I have just been informed that I am a compete moron. topkek

Pre order does not mean get it before everyone else, it means you get to order it before the stores have it in stock to actually order. pare ordering in no way guarantees that you get something early just that you will not miss it.a

I am sure some TRU have them in the back, but it clearly has a stock date and they arent putting them out till then.

Pre-order means you guarantee you get it when it's released, has nothing to do with getting it early. I pre-ordered Fallout 4 and I'm not getting that any earlier than its drop date (Unfortunately...).

Hopefully it's available in the UK, to me it could be the best figure ever (potentially) but because Triple H was hard to shift over in the UK, I never saw that Lesnar from last year. Please let Rollins be available in the UK.

As a TRU employee I can tell you the boxes are not street dated and they are not currently on a hold list. The online site lists them as coming out on 10/28. The online site is only loosely connected to the real store locations so they have their own info from what we use. Street date is programmed from the home office so if they anted the figures held they would be locked out of the registers.

Being able to pre-order them is better than store trackers. Wait a few weeks...

I might have gotten my Lesnar prior to the event or my TRU might not have had it in stock during the time of the promotion. Either way, I didn't remember it.

The.only way to spend $40 would be to buy a WC accessory. Wind up w Rollins for free so I guess it's a good deal. Even though u would be missing out on an apron of u got it from RSC

It says free store pickup on the website, but no option to choose it.
And those customer service reps aren't going to know all the ins and outs of what's going on in the stores.

So are you going to admit you're wrong now that a TRU employee said they're not street dated? Or are you going to go stalk the guy that stocks the figures at your store and offer him a Jeff hardy autograph in exchange for the figure?
