Shanester Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Did you ever walk into a TRU figuring to just look around, but you ended up walking out looking like Santa carrying his big bag of toys?! Over 30 2-packs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 were they on sale?or just playing catchup, or just have extra money burning a hole in your pocket and felt like cleaning out the old stuff in hopes of them stocking new stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Some of those haven't been at my TRU for a long, long time. Great haul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 There is some nice stuff in there. alot of TRU exclusives I can see...nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Wow, hard to believe that Union Jack set was just sitting there for three years... I wonder if TRU employees have to dust the toys at a certain point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Thank God I don't live near a TRU :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 I got this load at a TRU that I usually don't frequent. Its kinda out in the boonies (literally) and seems to get oddball stuff. The Minimates are never where you'd think, so you need to hunt around the store. There was a sale going on. Older packs were marked down to $4.98. I didn't have the Avengers packs yet, so I got all of them but the Hulk/IM pack. I also picked up a few odd TRU EX packs. Some I had and some I didn't.

Twisted Two-Face Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Holy Hell, Union Jack. What a great set. Mine was missing his knife pouch, sadly. Makes me wish to stumble upon a Silver Surfer and Swordsman like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) Did you find my Lake Charles stash? Because I thought I cleaned that one out. I Love Louisiana. Edited May 27, 2012 by TM2 Dinobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkerbean Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 There's a happy hogan in there, how come they're stocking comic wave stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I feel sorry for your wallet. In all seriousness, though, WOW! Quite a stash. They didn't happen to, ah, have any extra sets of Wonder Man/Union Jack, did they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Koah-whoa! That is quite the haul. I think that's what every one of us who've ever slid over to an out of the way store in the middle of nowhere is hopeing we'll find. You're livin' the dream, baby!

Shanester Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 I asked no questions, made my way towards the check-out counter and ran like hell. Yes, when she told me the total I nearly fainted, but I walked out with a lot of stuff I needed. They had a lot of really banged up sets. Some even opened. I bought a couple of them because I'd just open them anyway. I just realized that I was only charged $3.48 for the IM 2 sets. They had 2 and I took them both.

Punisher Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Great haul! I'm curious how the LCS IM2 Hogan Variant ended up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Holy crap! I have the same rug as you! Oh, and the haul is nice, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Wow - a VERY nice haul. I dream of the day when i walk into an Australian TRU and find Minimates on the shelf in the Marvel Isle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Great haul, Shane! I used to go to a LA TRU out in the "boonies" (possibly the same one you went to ), before my parents moved, and I could usually find just about any Minimate set I needed. I remember going over there when the new TRU Marvel waves started up, and I saw two Stealth Iron Man/Tony packs, and I bought one. I went back about a month later, and the other one was still there Edited May 28, 2012 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Funny that you and Luke both found TRU's this week with older stock. Maybe I should make a trip to that out of the way TRU that usually has stuff just collecting dust... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 If I'd seen that Wonder Man on the pegs, I'd have bought him, too. Grim Reaper fight! Thanks for helping with sell-through, Shane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
