That's rich...as if they even had any figs that haven't been rotting there on the pegs for months. TRU is the absolute WORST at stocking new figures, which is ridiculous because they have more display area than any of the other retailers.

None of the ones around here even got any of the last 3 CW waves. And at this rate I don't think the Legacy TPM Wave is EVER going to show up.

Stopped by my local TRU today to see if they had stocked for their sale...nope.  The did have the Lars Homestead diorama/playset on clearance for $29.99.  Might have to get me one of those for a custom diorama, not sure yet.  Also had several of the Imperial V-Wings, and even one of the new Y-Wings, which I DID pass on, but it was hard to do!

The local TRU here had nothing AGAIN yesterday, not even restocks of old junk.

The girl at the service desk said their "BIG trucks" are due to start arriving next week, which I assume means they are beginning a steady ramp-up towards the holiday season.

All I can say is, if those big trucks aren't filled with new TLC and TCW figures, they may as well forget about getting any of my business this Fall. (Crumb Bomber aside)

Not much point in pursuing the Ponds promo if one can't find $30 worth of stuff that they want.

Nothing again today at TRU, except they finally put out the latest CW waves on pegs (Cad bane, etc). Only about six weeks late. Of course there was no new Legacy line to match.  >:(

You know, I didn't even think to check. I'll look closer next time I am in there. According to my calendar, the Crumb Bomber was scheduled to be due out October 1st, and that is this week, baby.

I've heard my much wanted comic pack is being stocked on Saturday, so I'm very excited.

They haven't stocked a damn thing at my local TRU in weeks, but I check anyway like a trained seal.  I keep staring at that lone Clone Wars Y-Wing, but I just can't spend $70 on it!

I am on their mailing list and have two coupons to spend. One is for $5 off $25 purchase if I use a mastercard and the other is for $10 off a purchase of $75 or more.

I got shuffled to another job this afternoon and couldn't hit my tru today.

One of my peeps at Jedi Defender just posted that the Crumb Bomber has been spotted at TRU brick and mortar stores in CA. HOORAY!

If we can get these here by Friday, free Ponds is a certainty!
