Added the 86 deluxes, it's too bad they dint have a general sku. The positive thing about that though is that you'll know exactly which toy is in stock.

Re: SKUS for TRU Rainchecks
I put SS86 SKUs in this SKU thread yesterday and somehow they moved threads but I see you have updated the main post now. Thumbs-up

Re: SKUS for TRU Rainchecks
The SKU for SS Grimlock is different from the subsequent releases like Slag. 265915.

Re: SKUS for TRU Rainchecks
Hey all, just wanted to say that while you might have all guessed, I personally won't keep updating this thread, well the first post.
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.

Thanks for all your efforts in updating this over the years. Agreed with your points about TRU, I save so much time and gas going straight home now instead of popping in their stores

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.

Re: SKUS for TRU Rainchecks
Thanks for all the good work over the years MapleMegatron.
I think most collectors on the boards fell the same way as you do. Its quite a shame, as most of us would prefer to support a Canadian Retailer, but since the new owner, things really have taken a turn for the worst.
