They sell more than TRU does. I mean, I can at least go to Wal Mart. TRU has all be evaporated from my region. And the online store has nothing at all. TF-wise I think they have one or two new Combiner Wars figures at jacked prices. There used to be a small TRU outlet in the city, but that closed. Probably because it never had anything.
You act like TRU is better at stocking shelves than Wal Mart, when I think they're almost worse. (and that's saying something) As far as stocking shelves go? It's a crapshoot, really. The local TRU here is pretty good (there's always a strong Legacy presence in the PR section), as is one of the Wal-Marts. The other Wal-Mart though? Both the Transformers and PR sections are bare. You cannot say it's as simple as one chain being better then the other. It almost seems like it comes down to the individual stores. Last edited by Templar; 03-28-2015 at 02:34 AM.. |

I don't know where in Canada you are but TRU is still going strong in southern Ontario.

It almost seems like it comes down to the individual stores. Distribution-wise, Texas seems to get the short end of the stick. I feel like everything hits the east and west coasts first. And then trickles inward. Meaning we're last. So we get things. Just after everyone else.

Which is weird. You'd think the west coast would get stuff first and then it would trickle east. I know why that's not the case, but it still seems weird.
As for sounthern Ontario? I've never been in a situation where shelves were bare all over. There's always at least one store that was well stocked. Stocking's never been the issue here. It's distribution. Canada seems to be behind the US when it comes to that, only getting stuff first if Canadian retailers say "screw it" and ignore instructions to delay a line like they did with Transformers Animated (again, the stores themselves taking the initiative, not the chains) or in if the US distribution system is held up by, say, a dock workers' strike Barring stuff like that though? We're usually a month behind wave releases, at best. |

Completed my Kyoryugers!
Only need Gokai Yellow to complete my Gokaigers now and possibly the Gouraigers to complete Hurricangers. |
