Buy good knight turbo liquidator
What we have in the warehouses is what we are getting. No new lego sets, no new consoles, no new Transformers. If your store hasn't had wave 2 figures by now, then they likely won't get it. Now, it's possible we could get some old MP figures, but we don't know whats in the warehouse, and we don't know what we're getting until a day or two before the truck arrives.
As for the sale being crap, I know. I hear it several times a day. We thought it would be higher, but TRU wants to try to get as much money as possible, and for the first two weeks, we were making Christmas weekend money on weekdays.
Not the closest TRU to me, but one about 10 miles out, on the other side of town. Yeah Windblade is definitely a "fan favorite" Notice the regular version of which the one shown in your photo was a remold has been nowhere to be found in quite a while. I will give you a little spot of bright light though. That figure was not there a week ago.
I mean, seriously, I've never been able to wrap my head around their business decisions and their prices when they were a thriving company, let alone now.
I'm just scratching my head. We haven't even hit an actual "discount" on most toys yet. Why is it that they can't run a clearance sale correctly? Well they fucked up their normal operations, why should they be capable of a "liquidation" sale.
That was the most low ball offer I have ever seen, literally pennies on the dollar. I find that hard to believe seeing as how every one I have ever seen has been located in a strip center, most consisting of several other big time retailers. So if they do not own the property and are leasing it, why would that factor into the buy out? They do have what I would consider a fully stocked store though.
I mean, when you walked in, had you not known the store was closing, you'd never have guessed. Ok, that makes sense as they are closing. Why expect new product? Simply put, they're not giving anyone a reason to buy a lot of what is on the shelves. The only figure they have left I'd be willing to consider is Cybertron and it would have to have such a steep discount for me to consider it, at this rate, I don't think it's happening.
Did you know that there were 93 Toysrus stores in Germany, Austria and Switzerland combined? That's quite a bit of stores for such a small landmass. Other fun fact, all these toys are now owned by Ireland's very own toy chain Smyth's Toys.
That's right, the family owned chain which only had stores yesterday will now add these 93 to their tally of owned stores. They also inherit 4 Toysrus websites and will take on all current staff and management.
This is great news since that means it is business as usual for fans, and more importantly Toysrus employees, in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It also brings Toysrus back to its routes of being a family entreprise. Here is what Smyth's Toys co-founder Tony Smyth said about the deal: Posted 18 hours ago.
I went in a TRU last week and they only had a few one step changers left. The entire action figure aisle was looted. The bigger discounts would be wonderful, if everything good hadn't already been taken. There's nothing left but the chum now. It's only on an extremely tiny selection of items.
My TRU was still nicely stocked though. I work at store and check the manifest every day. We might get more studio Thundercrackers in, but even that seems unlikely. The best chance might be finding older releases in June before we expect to close. Aside from some stuff no one wants, like movie figures, TRU hasn't been getting anything in for Transformers.
The store did claim to have "trucks coming every day" so they could liquidate their warehouses too, so maybe some more Transformers stuff will come before the bitter end. I was happy with what I picked up, though.
Also picked up TLK Berserker, as it was the only other movie on the shelves that I needed and didn't have.
My partner and I are going to take a trip around the Twin Cities tomorrow to check out the other stores that are still open and see if they've got anything different in stock. We have at least a dozen Infernicus. And still have 3 Windblades from RID. The only thing that moved quickly were the Power of the Primes, and those don't appear to be coming back. The sales tax here is I spoke to the liquidator. We are not getting anything new.
