I'm not the guy you were asking, but since I have it handy, here it is. I had to google "earthrise thrust canada" to find it.

Let's hope Runabout is not too far behind.

Great. Now that means either calling stores regularly or having to stop in there frequently for no other reason.


It's like everyone's trying to make distribution a giant, infuriating pain in the ass this last year or so.

I'd say distribution has been ass since after Seige Wave 1 released. There were tons of those figures everywhere and it's never been like that ever again.

No you don't. It's just a placeholder, there is no point to running in until an actual sighting takes place. I have already spoken to TRU and they don't have any in the warehouse as of two days ago

Yes, I think they put up those placeholders to hype up future popular releases...then disappear them before a final proper release that sells out rapidly...More Than Meets the Eye!

I think first Earthrise wave had a lot lying around, then after that I never saw any figures anywhere again lol.

I know I'm not running to check right now. I'm more meaning that if it's in-store only that's a hell of a lot more hassle to watch for than online sales because the store stock tracker is inconsistent at best and individual store allocations are often hilariously random. Just for example the WFC cassette 4-pack had one shipment made to my local TRU and that was it. I watched and waited for weeks until it got to the point that I was concerned they weren't coming and managed to buy a copy off a boardie who had an extra one from doing multiple cautionary pre-orders with other retailers. Then literally the week after that they showed up at the local TRU and lasted like a couple days before vanishing forever.


As frustrating as the panicky watch for online stock tends to be, at least TRU usually offers decent windows to get stuff in. Plus the fact that my TRU locations are kind of out of the way. It's not the same as checking walmart because I'm already there to get groceries or household stuff or whatever.

Would you say it's easier to break through the border to get to a Target to find Runabout rather than hoping one will show up on TRU's website?
