Tankers in white uniforms, OMG Americans, 2nd to last wave of Germans, Rudel Stukas, Stuka Zu Fuss Hanomags, Old Crow and Red Tail Mustangs, camo Migs, and some very special surprises for those who are willing to pick through my leftovers(2packs). Sorry about not looking at the 1:32 or smaller stuff guys but they have a ton of stuff. The most GIJOE stuff I have seen in one place and a whole aisle of Star Wars.
I am doing a road trip from DFW to Allen this week!

I stopped at 2 in Illinois and they had nothing in the way of 1/18 with the exception of Nam figures. No BBI or 21st. The shelves are empty and with the economy they dont seem to be stocking up for Christmas

Went to TRU today to see if there was anything new.
Found a 21st "Old Crow" that I didn't have, so I bought it.
I printed off the "15% any toy" coupon they've been sending out, so that brought the price down to around $40 tax and all.

I may print out another and get a Tuskegee P-51.
Sure wish there was a Rudel Stuka.

Our TRU just got the S2 Hanomag w/Pak 40...a little late I'd say. These morons still haven't cleaned the sheetrock dust off from everything from their "Babies are Us" renovation over 6 months ago... :roll:

Our TRU is pathetic! One XD soldier on the peg, no bbi, only a few 32's...and a week before Thanksgiving! You'd think they'd have the shelves STUFFED to help their sales. Hopefully they'll stock up next week for the after Thanksgiving sales. But...will they keep their shelves restocked until Christmas...

Restock! Great. I'd like to get the Pearl Harbor version. Hopefully it will show up in my area.

On Wed. I found the new BBI Para figures and 4 of the reissued P-40's. Oh and this TRU is now down to 13 DAK MP 40 figures, I think they should try giving them away. :wink:

I meant to ask, I don't recall the PH P-40 ever being distributed through Tru (or W-M) in the past. Was it?

The PH planes were at WM once upon a time. I got one of them on clearance.

With the important Black Friday shopping day today-with stores FULLY stocked with merchandise to carry them thru this bad depression, will TRU be FULLY STOCKED with XD?
I've gotta work and won't be able to hit any TRU, but those of you who can, would love to hear what you found!
...if you can, leave me some stuff as I'm off tomorrow :wink:

Target had more german and US FOV figures out.

Only XD was 2 Bauers...that's it...bunch of empty pegs...GI JOES were fully stocked! TRU employee said it was pretty much wiped out on JOES on Friday, but they kept them restocked thru-out the weekend.
I asked about the XD, he laughed and said those pegs were like that a week before Thanksgiving. They order the figures, but nothing seems to come in.

Final scored me a Fallshirmjagers (Private Keitel) along with a dress uniform Patton and a BOB Open Long Coat German. I hope they get more of this "old/new" stuff in.

Also it didn't ring up at the register and the girl working the register got frustrated because the manager on duty wouldn't help so she left and came back with a BBI Sgt. Steele (Big Red One) figure and scanned it three times ($4.99) and then threw it into the bag with the others. I guess she didn't feel like taking it back. It probably didn't hurt that I was also buying a $150 D-Rex for my son's Christmas.

Fallshirmjager ......... $4.99

D-Rex for Christmas..........$150

Free 1/18 figure ..........priceless :D

Good deal on that one. I got several of those figures for $.99 as they wouldn't scan and the cashier sold them to me for the same price as the Hot Wheel car I was buying for $.99. :D

There were (3) 1/32 Black 1 Fw-190D-9s, (1) 1/32 Lanowski P-47 and
(2) XD Green Stukas.

Also a StukaZu Fuss and a few Pak40 Halftracks.

I really wish I'd luck into Paratroopers and Falschirjagers. Especially the latter though. I'd love a bunch of the MP40 guy... It seems none of those older figures are shipping out here in Pittsburgh, at least not at the moment.
