The toy buying landscape in Canada has changed vastly since this was started. TRU used to be a collector haven and now it's fallen down the ranks to last place on most collectors' minds.
The point of having a SKU was to make it easier to find out new toy in stores (or by calling them) and getting rainchecks if the toy was not there.
But since then, TRU removed their price match policy, and rainchecks are no longer a thing we need since:
- They are the most expensive retailer, so discounts are not as enticing. Gamestop's standard constant Edge discount is the same or better than waiting for a discount from TRU.
- Their stock is not what it used to be, Walmart and EB Games get toys before them.
You guys are free to use this thread if you wish, and keep jotting down SKUs, but I've personally given up on TRU as a main option.

Totally agree, big thank you MapleMegatron! You have saved me and for sure many other Board members much money over the last 5+ years of maintaining this thread.
