Hasbro appreciation thread.

Well I'd hope they dont stock that because they should be stocking toys and the like!

No really, just because your stores suck don't mean they all do. I have 2 TRUs, a handfull of Wal Marts and 2 Targets I can drive to in under an hr - never really missed anything of major importance.

No toy is worth a 1 hour drive to me anymore. I don't think I'd even drive that far for the new AT-AT.

Now that's just crazy talk.

I'll drive just about anywhere that's reasonable (no more than 2 hrs.) if the price is right. Case in point, I plan on taking a trip to Raleigh this weekend because a store up there that I usually order online from is having a in-store only sale, and the Star Trek mini-mates will be marked down next to nothing. It's only an hour away, so what the hell...

I live up in the Wilkes Barre/ Scranton area of PA soo it's really nothing for me to drive there for dinner and stuff so occasional toy runs are permissible as well.

It's worth it to me for my time and gas and many times I can get free shipping.

And even if it isn't free, it's likely less than you'd spend on gas tromping around town to find them.

I saw all of the new Vintage figures and the Cloud Car at Toys R Us today. They were in a cart at the customer service desk and I got a chance to pick them up and look at them. They're really nice. The guy at the desk said that they weren't for sale yet and that an employee has mistakenly placed them out on the floor before they were supposed to be sold. They were to be placed back in the back room of the store.

I was wondering how PT figures would look in vintage packaging and it's actually not bad. I still don't think I'd buy them, but they look good.

The new vintage wave is awesome. I was lucky enough to pick the first wave from TRU just last week. I went back to look for an extra Boba but no luck.... The 2nd wave looks good, can wait for Cody....

It's pretty cool to see that card. I wish that they had never gotten away from that design. Even though the POTF '85 were still cool, nothing beats that look.

I agree. The graphics are very clean and you don't have the oddball-shaped cards every other year.

If they looked like that when they were first released, I might have actually bought some ROTS figures back in 2005.

Can you send for multiple missile Boba Fett figures? I want to have one to open and one to keep on the card.

I don't see why you couldn't, but if it is limited to one per household, just have it sent to a family member's address.

Looks like this is why TRU was holding back...

Actually, that's not why.

It's because technically, they're not even supposed to be out yet.

I walked in, asked for them, and they brought me a brand new box.

Right on the box, it says, "DO NOT PUT OUT UNTIL AUGUST 6th".

Which, is why Target and Wal-Mart haven't done so yet.

Toys R Us must not care too much about the consequences though.

 

[the angry orc]

yah, the target i stopped at just had one of each out and they were kind of random on the pegs...in the corner of the figure aisle by the cheaper military figures.

 

[Macross-Junkie]

We know from other peoples purchases that the TRU Vintage figs run about $9.99. Hey "Angry Orc", how much did Target charge for the figures? More or less?

Toys R Us is the new KB Toys.
