Post by Stug45 » Wed Feb 04, 2009 2:22 pm

I asked if they were getting more in and they said that all their 21st was on clearance :shock:

They have the same old dusty stuff at my TRU...nothing really new that I have noticed though. My Target never got anything and the Walmarts by me have been empty for a month.

Our local TRU has quite a bit of 21st stuff and recently got more 1/18th planes although nothing new just the same old items I've seen before like the P-51 "Old "Crow", F-104 (camo), MIG, and P-40 (special edition). One TRU still has quite a few dual packs of the DAK and German figs as well.

The TRU 40 mi N has the same ole stuff, couple 32x 190's, a dusty AVG SE, few Patton figs, and the S2 Pak40 hanomag and that's it. The TRU 40 mi S only has a couple red tail Mustangs and a few 1/144 planes. The Targets here never got anything but most WM still have plenty of 32x armor and playsets on clearance though in armor it's mostly PzIII's and some of the S2 artillery pieces.

Everything it is empty lets wait to see if the stores are going to buy some more . or if the responsable is 21st. no new things ,or simply the crisis happening to the economy

I went to TRU today, and I only saw the playsets marked down to $12.98. What else was on clearance?

Oh crap. I was wondering why the shelves were so empty... :( ...I thought they just ran out of stock, but all the 21CT price tags were still on..

Not good news, but it fits the general "21c is dead" theory. My TRUs still have the same stuff they have had for a while, the newest items being the "Rudel" Stukas one store got last month. Haven't checked for discounts, but might now :wink:

I think it is less a question of TRU and more a question of 21st...

I checked another TRU today and this one still had a full 21CT stock all at regular price, but I also noticed all BBI stuff is missing in both stores I've visited; paratroopers, figs, weapon sets, even the price tags.. uh-oh.
