Classics now $20 at TRU, instock at Walmart.com for $15
I was happy to see the Classic tray back at TRU, but then I saw TRU upped their price to $19.99. Not cool! But this kind of price gouging has become common for TRU heading into the holidays.
Walmart.com has everyone but Raph in stock and they appear to offer free site-to-store shipping Leo http://www.walmart.com/ip/Teenage-Mu...nardo/20863047 Don http://www.walmart.com/ip/Teenage-Mu...tello/20863038 Mikey http://www.walmart.com/ip/Teenage-Mu...ngelo/20863044 |

Thanks. all 4 went in stock on amazon today too but at $19.99 for most (mikey was 14.99 though... i wish i knew how they decided these prices)
i had no idea walmart.com had this feature that delivers them for free to a local store, but more relevant to me personally, they also deliver free to select fedex locations! there is one not far from my place. tempted to order some more... i might get another leo and raph thanks for the tips |

Considering that on eBay they are still averaging $25+, its still a reasonable offer at Toys 'R Us, but the price increase sadly means that supply is probably too low to meet demand, and that is a shame. They probably use much more complicated manufacturing processes to make these figures, and the Wal-Mart price is a steal to the point that having about four of each is enough to sell on eBay to "pay back the original set".

I was actually going to post this about Wal Mart too. I picked up Mikey, Don and Leo. I was thrilled to see them and for a good price!
 Kind of a bummer Raph was out of stock but that adds to the chase now. I decided to just get them shipped to my house. It wasn't a bad shipping cost either for anyone interested in having them shipped to their house rather than their local Wal Mart.

yeah, i just saw them yesterday. it was the first time they've restocked them since the initial release. i noticed the $ increase...not happy D: why would a toy get marked up when its original retail was $3 cheaper only a couple of weeks ago. that's such BS

So I pay online and have no shipping fee when it is brought to my local store? How does it act,like layaway?
 Only Mike is in stock online at the moment. How often are online selections restocked?
