I just got back from TRU, where I was looking for gold hot streak, when my employee friend told me they got an updated release list. According to that list, Voodood comes out on November first, Zook on November 8th, and Slam Bam on November 15th. He also said there was an Eon's Elite ghost roaster coming out on December 31st, but I'm assuming it's a place holder date.

Huh what is up with these releases? I guess it does help for me to save up for each one and helps me get first, but why release each one on individual dates? This is very weird how they are releasing them and being handled.

As i said before...logistics department....it really SUCKS!

They are not Gamestop exclusives this yet? What's their MSRP $20 or $25? I know, add $2 because TRU.

Nope, not GameStop exclusive this year. Also, I don't know the price, but I think an article somewhere said 19.99 (but I couldn't find it for the life of me).

MSRP is supposed to be $19.99, which could be $21 or $22 in TRU pricing, and only the first three are TRU exclusive, the other three will be mass retail.

This plan sounds much like the Disney infinity 1.0 TRU power disk release plan (every week there was a new disc). More then likely this means it will be in the TRU big book and makes you visit TRU once a week in Nov.

In other words, it's to get ppl in the store each week for Xmas shopping.


Also golden streak...i checked 2 bestbuys, 1 tru and 2 targets today that I never go to and nadda.

They did a similar release last year with the legendary traps

To clear some things up:
Yes, MSRP is 19.99 and yes we all know that TRU charges more.

They ARE ONLY TRU EXCLUSIVES!!!

There are only 6 this year, not 8.

Reason why they're out seperate dates...just like last year each week for the big book add has a release if a new elite. Gives people a reason to come shopping every week!!!

Happy hunting!!!

They also did this with Legendary Zoo Lou and Legendary Night Shift two years ago.

Please do not spread misinformation. Your bolded statement is false. As I said, only the first three, in November, are TRU exclusive, the other three, tentatively for December, will be available everywhere. Link for proof.

Slam Bam and Dino-Rang are the only Elites I really want.

To my knowledge I am not spreading false information.
The article states that the First 3 available exclusively at TRU in November the other tentavely in December.
Nothing stating "everywhere"!!!

UPDATE: I now have confirmation that the first Wave of 3 are the Toys R Us Exclusives. The remaining 3 (Ghost Roaster, Boomer, and Dino-Rang) will be available everywhere.

There you go.

Good to know.

Like I said, I wasn't spreading any false information. It was the k ow ledge I had!!

Slam bam, zook and voodood are all set for the 2nd of November in Australia.

Saw Zook at my TRU on Saturday. I did not try to buy it, so I am not sure if it was register locked or not.

They are indeed register locked. The boxes don't state to hold for a certain date release which I am sure has caused some confusion.

But come the 1st, 8th and 15th. We will have access to the first 3 of 6 elites.
