haha did the same thing once my leo came in and noticed raph was online @ target. ordered without hesitation

Found both Raph and Leo at Target today. Given they had like 8 or 9 Leos to ONE Raph, I bought Raph for now.

Hopefully Donnie and a Mikey will show up somewhere here soon.

My Leo plush arrives tomorrow from target.com

Pretty excited.

So far only Leo and Rap have been spotted in stores, although we have a picture of the Donnie plush, and he is on TRU.com available to order. Mikey however, is a different story. We haven't even seen a picture of him yet.

We only have seen the picture of Donnie on the TRU site,nobody has actually found it there and you can't order it from the site either, which I find kind of stupid.
Mike is still a myth.

Checked tru today, AGAIN, nothing, even asked an employee if they had them, she just looked at me like I was crazy and said " we don't sell ninja turtles stuff"

Ahahahahaha... wow, how can you work at a toy store and not know these things... it's not freaking mcdonalds man. Know wtf you are talking about! Is it that hard to know what the hot brands are and try to have at least a little knowledge about what you are doing?

I think someone needs to work somewhere else if you have no idea what you sell and don't sell. Seriously, aren't they trained to know things at that store or just hired off the street and thrown down an aisle and told to get to work without any help?

The TRU I usually go to the employees will check for stuff on their computers for you, or tell you maybe the next truck or something, but they will at least check things. Of course...I've never tried looking for plushies before in there. Where would a TRU normally have them? Mine is a Toys R Us/Babies R Us so half of the store obviously is baby things.

Really, you people expect retail employees to know everything about every product they carry? In retail pretty much all you're expected to be able to do is operate a cash register and keep the aisles clean/straight. And lookup things on a computer. But pull information straight out of your head? No. (Although a person should probably be away that the store does carry TMNT products in general, since theoretically they would walk by them at least semi-regularly.)

*Zulithe* · 02-21-2013, 12:01 PM

All i'm saying is TMNT has been back in the public eye and on shelves for what, like 6 months? How can you work at a toy store and not know it's at least a line of products easily found in most toy stores? Maybe they were new. It's possible.

I don't expect any employee to know every product or even product line that they carry. However, just because they have never seen it in store does not mean that they do not carry it. Unless they had already same day researched or been told they do not carry a specific product, it is the responsibility of the associate to either ask a peer/supervisor or check themselves before giving a definitive answer to the customer. And for a product line that's been on TRU shelves and in their systems for the past 6-7 months it should not have been difficult to find the evidence. To simply tell the customer, "we do not carry ninja turtle stuff" when they clearly do is pure laziness and the sort of behavior that will just lead to a faster demise of the already troubled chain as a whole. A corporate plan centered around employee knowledge and excellent customer service is key for a successful business, especially in the dying industry of B&M retail environments.

"Leo, meet everyone! Everyone, meet Leo!"

The plushie is great, really happy with the quality. For $20 it's fantastic. Every turtle fan needs one (at least) of these! I might get the other 3 we'll see

I wasn't sure how well the shell would look since it's stuffed but i'm really happy with it. Got mine from target.com. shipped fast and in a plastic wrap inside the package to protect it from the elements

*Powder* · 02-21-2013, 04:48 PM

I like how Leo has his arms around Finn & Jake. Good choice of arrangement, haha.

Cool plush collection, Leo looks awesome. I hope I find the new plushies soon, I really want Donnie, and I hope Mikey looks good too.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 02-22-2013, 02:36 PM

I just did a search and they showed up still. But yeah several action figures disappeared (shredder and a few others) as well. Maybe their site removes items from view if they are out of stock and not expecting stock for a while? Or maybe it's just glitchy

It's just glitchy. TRU has one of the worst websites ever. I've had (bad) experiences with their website before when trying to add to my other non TMNT collections.

Anyway why order from toysrus.com... target.com is a better deal. If you don't have a RED card all you need is a checking account, bring in a voided check to target and you can sign up. it makes a card that deducts from your checking account exactly like your debit card... except you can only use it at target and you get 5% everything in the store when you use it

and... when you use it on target.com you get free shipping.

it's a sweet setup.
