I saw Airrazor in a TRU myself before the latest lockdown, so they definitely had them in stock.

Just buy them on the Walmart site while you still can.
What I'm wondering is where is all that Canadian stock of SS 86 deluxes

Oh yeah, I'm not too worried about being able to get them since both WalMart.ca and amazon have them on hand.

I was mostly just pointing out another example of how crappy TRU's website and it's management are

I dont think its related to their website or managment. They simply never got their shipment from Hasbro.

It's entirely possible and that would explain it, yes.

I still say the website is crap though

When you consider how many times I will find something in store that doesn't show at all on the site OR shows as out of stock...

Well, I tend to go more with someone screwing up somewhere and it was never this bad until the site's revamp.

Not to mention store employees looking up the website for stock info. That's not helping anyone.

It basically their implementation of Salesforce Commerce / Demandware. It's not using the same inventory record as the retail system.

Most stores will do phone orders, I picked up a ss86 scourge for someone.

Well if Canadian Tire can have a half-baked system that has been fairly reliable in my experience, it would have been easy enough for TrU to go in talks with CT to see if they could share/buy their platform.

Instead, they have a barely functioning site that's probably either costing them too much to fix, or they don't mind killing their business from all the lost online sales.

CT could be substitute by a number of others, like Home depot, Rona, etc. that all have "live" update on stock, both online and in-store.
