The problem is that TRU's website is not 100% reliable.


In the past 6 months I have found product at local stores that the website says is sold out at that location.



So it becomes a crap shoot. Do you risk wasting time and gas in the hopes that the product is there? Or do you just skip it and maybe it actually is still on the shelves?


It's super frustrating.

It's why I do my local rounds as often as I can; in the neighbourhood often enough that maybe I can save someone a trip, even though some of the stores stock and liquidate said stock within a day that's not Friday on occasion.

Note on this. Anyone else notice that deluxes are now 42.99 again, voyagers 54.99? Leaders are 84.99 per the website.

Anyone who collects Marvel Legends, its even worse at 44.99

Here I thought the Toysrus thread was bumped because someone found Origin Wheeljack.

Yeah I noticed they had bumped their GI Joe Classified prices back up as well. Granted only slightly higher $39.99 compared to the ridiculous $44.99 they were asking before the sudden drop in price late last year.


Looks like money is tight after deciding to make space for HMV (another doomed to fail choice). So gotta bump those prices to try and recoup some of that expenditure.


After last years spending spree thanks to sales and reduced prices I thought TRU would be back in my regular rotation. However now that they have bumped the prices back up I am out again. I have been once since their last BOGO (free) sale and don't see much reason to go again anytime soon.

TRU: "Let's raise prices to address our need for more revenue due to low sales!."


also TRU: "WHY IS NOBODY SHOPPING WITH US?! IS IT JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN GO LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE AND GET THE SAME THING FOR CHEAPER?!"


It's hilarious how obviously shortsighted this is.
