Only starter packs at midnight at TRU? No Figures?? [CLOSED]

I have a friend who manages the closest TRU to me, and she got an email stating that only starter packs can be sold at midnight at her store. Does anyone have any information about this? The closest TRU is still an hour and a half away. I don't want to be there at midnight only to have to come back at 8 am or not get the deals at all. We will already be in town for my birthday on Saturday, so it's not an issue to stay late, but it is too difficult to drive back and forth 2 days in a row. I don't want to stay until midnight if only the starter packs will be available. I'd rather postpone my birthday celebrations and go on Sunday instead.

That seems weird, since there are 12-1AM deals on figures. Is the store an official midnight release location?

That doesn't sound right at all. They're going to have some pissed off customers come midnight if people can only get the starters.

Yep. If that's the case I'll not be back and do all of my shopping on Amazon. I have no intents of getting the starter until Black Friday.

And that is exactly what happened. My TRU only put out starter packs, the Legendary items, Gear Shift, and the traps. They did at least have Kaos Trap, but they did not have any Trap Masters or single figures. There were very many unhappy people at TRU. We all went to Walmart and purchased there instead. TRU probably lost $500 at least last night, if not more just from my group and a few others I saw going into Walmart after being disappointed at TRU.

Interestingly, and for comparison purposes, our TRU guys said "please tell us if there's anything you need and we'll find it"...just goes to show you that the people make all the difference.

Let us know the TRU location so that fellow portal masters know to avoid such locations whenever possible.
