I went to the TRU site and got Amazon. Typed in TRU in 'Search' and now they have their own site...both sites now seperate, both sites had NO bbi 1:18. As a matter of fact, hardly ANY military stuff now!
Good news for all the 1:18 sites that advertise here!

Well that stinks

I sometimes counted on them to find certain products that I couldn't find at my local TRUs or with small retailers. There's alot of figures that I ordered from amazon/TRU over the years, including the vast majority of my S1 XD figures.

Its pretty funny as I just ordered a few of the BBI Modern figures from Amazon/TRU about 10 days ago and was thinking of getting a few more. The site seemed pretty normal - then - and still had alot of products, although there were a bunch of pictures of long discontinued items. Glad I ordered when I did. I wonder what happened to all the surplus figures, vehicles and the like?

In early June, a judge ruled that TRU could get out of their deal with Amazon.

So, no real suprise. Also, TRU just named a former Best Buy executive to a senior post, so things may be looking up...

Interesting, I wonder if TRU will stop selling toys since they don't seem very profitable-that would be pretty screwy. (I am only half serious-but who knows) They could just sell video games and baby & kids clothes and get by.
