MiniMage Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I don't know if this is news, but tru.com has all of them back in-stock. I thought so, too -- as I had already placed an order on Fri morn. But it's not. Apparently someone made a mistake by checking the "in stock" box (they're looking into the issue) -- just got off the phone with a CS rep since my whole order was cancelled. And they are not getting anymore. Was totally irate, too. Interestingly enough (not), my cancellation email stated that I had ordered too many (just one) of each & that was the reason for said cancellation. Go figure. Figures. TRU allows a single individual to buy all their Wolvie and Sentinel packs, claims there's a restock and it turns out the restock was a friggin mistake because of human error.

Dave Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Maybe that is why their flagship store in NYC is closing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Mate Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Maybe that is why their flagship store in NYC is closing. no, they said in an article, that their rent has basically doubled in the time they have been there and they dont want to pay the high prices anymore.

karamazov80 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I ordered a couple of sets at 2:40 pm on Friday, and haven't received a cancellation notice yet. But it's probably coming. No shipping notification yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 That's a bummer that the NYC TRU is closing. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padrino Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The TRU in Times Square is closing because the rent has become astronomical. It really is a shame. They will probably turn that site into yet another tourist-trap theme restaurant (I'm a native New Yorker, in case you can't tell). If you have never been there, the giant, anamatronic T-Rex is worth the trip alone. Used to freak my nephew out every time it roared! Not to mention the giant ferris wheel in the middle of the store.

hellpop Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I used to go there whenever I was in New York (maybe once a year) and would always leave disappointed. I expected that would be the place where new releases that hadn't made it to my local stores would be plentiful, but that was never the case.

Mnemosis Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I've been there twice. I've been underwhelmed twice. Toys R Us can say what it will about rent - and that may well be true - but this was their FLAGSHIP STORE. Its closure, to me, speaks volumes as to the company's confidence in their brand. They're much more interested in the Babies R Us side of business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I went to NYC once, and did visit the TRU while I was there. I was actually pretty impressed with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny B Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I don't think I ever bought anything there, but I did enjoy going in from time to time just to see (or show people) the T-Rex and various other cool attractions. I wonder what will happen to all of that stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 It's not like it was their FIRST store. Or their LAST store. If you want affordable toys, they need affordable locations. I haven't been in in a long time, but I used to buy stuff there occasionally. Sometimes even Minimates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortherX Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 i picked up an extra Vision/Quicksilver set, as well as AS6 and Mysterio. I'm going to keep Mysterio, but the rest are available for trade if you wanna holler at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
