Very very bad Black Friday day (Toys 'R' Us) [CLOSED]

I'm getting disappointed in the TRU near me.
I got there at the beginning of the day hoping to get one of the Legendary Stealth Elfs and a few other Skylanders that were specifically on sale there.

In the end, I came home with nothing.
When I got there, there was literally none there and everyone else with me was wondering why there they saw none.
Not even series 2. Saw about 25 or more of Series 1 though.
Also didn't have any Lightcores, but they did have a "sale" on "Skylanders that Light up" as the sign states.
They didn't have any legendaries either so I picked up 2 Giants I didn't have yet... as they light up.

They state those aren't the ones they meant even though right at the area where the sale is, right on the same board states "Skylanders Giants Single" and "Skylanders Giants Legendary".

Sad sad day for me...

What's worse is when your TRU has every Skylander except what you're looking for (Hot Head.) That's my horrible tale. Sorry for your loss too. smilie

At my TRU, there was a line circling the entire building at 8pm when they opened, and when i went back again at 10:30pm it was still wrapped around 3/4 of the building but I waited and went in anyway... there were plenty of L-Stealth Elfs at that time as well as a whole party of Wham-Shells and other S2 figures!! Then I waited about 2 more hours in line, winding through the store... I wouldn't be surprised if by morning most things had been picked over...!!

What's even worse is when there is NO DISPLAY AT ALL!!!!


It didn't happen to me, I'm just guessing....

Best buy had three $2.99 Drobots left at 12:30.

At Wal Mart, the only Black Friday Skylanders item I saw after walking the whole store and asking around were the XBoxes.

Over four hours after opening, my TRU had L-Stealth Elfs, Camo/Ignitor/Warnado triple packs, a good selection of S2 singles/multipacks/S1 BOGO's (Wham Shell!), and plenty of stock on the $50 Skylanders Giants starter packs. My only complaint is that the first time I was there, a few L-Stealths were stocked on the shelf. When I came back, they were gone. They hadn't run out - they just were now available only at checkout upon request. Seems reasonable to me - if they had a sign letting me know. If a fellow customer hadn't found this out and shared, I would have missed out on LSE and the $5 savings on my Camo 3 pack.

Sorry your TRU sucked. My TRU is the only store that wasn't wasting my time.

As a guy who works in logistics, sometimes shipments just don't make it to certain places. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Glad heroic challenges are gone. Imagine doing 165 per skylander. That's 27225 challenges. No thank you.

Some employees are either:

A: Too lazy to look for an ACTION FIGURE.

B: Have more important things to do.

C: Would rather help an adult with a better problem.

D: Half asleep.

E: Working LONG hours and wants to leave.

The list goes on... 'till numbers..

Picked up a GITD Sonic Boom at Walmart today. First non-in game variant. smilie

I also got a Flashwing and a Series 2 Bash at Gamestop.

Lightcore Prism Break was picked up from Walmart.

Series 2 Whirlwind was bought at Best Buy.

Not a bad Black Friday. Cost me all my money ($55), but it was worth it.

TRU had several L-Stealth Elf last night. When I went there this afternoon, there was a bin full of them. They may have been there last night, I just didn't notice them. I saw wave 2 figures (Sprocket and Flashwing) at other stores (Target, Wal-Mart) but not at TRU.

Knowing that a lot of people had problems picking up a LSE I am glad I purchased mine before Thanksgiving!

I got a lot of the Legendaries at TRU although people were slinging them left and right into their carts. But i was hoping to scoop some 3$ figures from Best Buy, but all that was left when I made it over there was like 2 Drobots ._.;

I couldn't go anywhere for Black Friday because I was out of money. So far, I have gotten every giant, every skylander, except Flashwing, the legendaries, and other variants, so I think my day was good enough without those big sales.
