He looks awesome, like a nightmarish robot ant. All of the "new" Cons looks fantastic to me.

So, these will be in the back and not stuffed into the over head bins, because I could just reach in there easily enough without asking some brain dead TRU employee.

I wonder what happened to the June 2nd release date?

It's still the release date. Some managers are just getting itchy trigger fingers.

Went to the TRU in Niles OH. (75 from the first sighting, 45 from the second, in terms of milage)

They have the full case of 'em in stock, but they flat out refused to sell me even a single figure.

I told them about the Elyria issue and still wouldn't budge. Some cockamamie story about being packaged in the wrong case, etc.

BULLSHIT. I'm still pissed off, but there's nothing I can do. =\

Oh and use this SKN number if you're going to ask if they have them in stock....774550 (It works for both the Preview and mainline Deluxes). They told me the case was out on the floor and instock. IF they tell you over the phone that they're on the floor (but aren't) do your damnedest to fight 'em and get 'em to pull that case. This crap set my day into a shitstorm and I'm not a happy camper. Perhaps you'll have better luck than I do.

Also, if you want to know if Wal-Mart has 'em in stock, use the UPC listed on the receipt and have them use the scanning gun to check. Even if they don't have 'em in stock, they can at least tell you when they're getting them in.

Went to the exact TRU on the receipt. Nothing there anymore, someone got them all. there was an empty hook with the matching upc. I asked a worker and he knew nothing about the figures being there and said they shouldn't be on shelves yet. =/

Yup. Bonecrusher was the last one there. That's why I snagged him on impulse. Where you stationed (live) at Bobrock?

Same deal at the Ann Arbor, MI TRU. They have them but refused to sell them.

Yep. Chances are it won't do you a bit of good though.

In the future (and this goes for everyone)...call ahead, have them check the computer and see if they have the item in stock, if they do...see if they say "They're on the floor" like they told me (which prompted an impromptu 52 (round trip) mile trek for nothing...) and if you get there and they aren't on the floor, explain your situation and if need be...raise hell.

Don't let them walk on you. **** TRU.

Hey, Nightwatcher...

I just realized something here...

Your TRU (which I've shopped many a time) in Elyria is the first to break street date (or is it? Follow me for a second, I'll get to it here...)

Beldon Village was the second to break the street date.

But I remember now....the first full case of the figures debuted in Maple Heights Ohio, on eBay.

Could it be that when that case sold, the other local TRUs figured it was okay to sell their's as well? It would seem to fit the time frame, and if the seller was working for TRU, he would definitely be able to get his hands on that entire case.

It might just be coincidence, but....that many in the same region? Something doesn't sit right.
