[quote name='Skiry']I heard from the Gamestop people (which I know isn't reliable) that Camo and Warnado have a street date of 4-18 and that TRU is going to have them (she has a friend that works over there) and that GameStop will be getting them in too. Anything that anyone bought before that date was due to employees stocking them early. My TRU has no idea when they're getting them in.
Has anyone heard anything like that? I don't want to go tomorrow to wait in line for the legendary, however, if they do have Camo and Warnado, I would go. My son really wants Camo and I've called and looked at every Walmart, Target, TRU, and Gamestop in a 30 minute radius. They all say that they've NEVER had them. Except one manager at Gamestop told me that she sold out of Wham-Shell earlier in the week.[/QUOTE]
Well, the Gamestop website sold and shipped them close to two weeks ago, I got a Camo and a Warnado that arrived last week, so I can confirm that. It would be unusual to have two different street dates for online and store unless they have some event planned. It's not even a pre-ship prior to the date to make sure it arrives on time. So the street date thing is almost certainly bad information, or maybe some area manager is trying to steal Toys'R'Us' thunder.
Now on the other hand, it is very possible TRU will have them when they open tomorrow. Last event they had held figures for about two weeks prior (including Zook and Lightning Rod) so they would have a full stock of them on their event day. That would make sense that they did that, to increase the appeal of their special event (given that the Legendary 3 pack has been in store many times). You may walk away with nothing, but I personally don't think it is a bad bet, given you can spare the time to stand in line a while.
