Our Rant Directed At Toys R Us!

Posted by Paul | June 19, 2010 at 01:26 PM ET

We have good and (mostly) bad news to report with the Toys R Us exclusive The Force Unleashed Figures Packs and TRU in general. Click the thumbnail below to see what we have for you.

Toys R Us stores all over the country are getting more of The Force Unleashed multipacks back into their stores (this is the good news). But collectors will be extremely disappointed to know that they have crept up $5 more to $34.99. So both packs will set you back over $70 with tax now. This is certainly quite different from that insane Buy One Get One 50% promo that entitled buyers to pay only $45 + tax for both when they first started showing up in stores this past April. In layman's terms, this means each figure in the set went from $4.50 each to over $7.00 each. And with TRU discontinuing the wonderful $4.99 special through July 7th early because they met their quota with their basic figure sell through, we are really beginning to wonder what is happening at corporate. Do they think that customers don't read and remember their shelf-talkers? Just because you pulled the $4.99 promo sticker off the shelves doesn't mean we don't still want our figures for $4.99! (And we didn't even bring up that Expanded Universe wave debacle on May 1st.) Oops we just did. Shame on you TRU! Get it together. Please!
