Spotted 2 Stealth Strike Bumblebees at the Legends Wal-Mart in KCK last night, but no signs of the others from that wave.

New Generations WERE at TRU in Wichita today. A friend snagged a set and grabbed Prime and Jazz for me.

New FOCs at Topeka Toys R Us. 2 Primes and Jazzes on the shelf and if you ask nice, I'll tell you where the last Shockwave is stashed.

Okay, I'm not trying to be a bad guy, and I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT EVERYONE but I work at the TRU in wichita and our managers got so mad at people stashing stuff and laying away 100's of dollars worth of stuff they have created a policy that they are not laying away ANY thing that can be considered collectible. Also they have been warning people about hiding stuff because it has gotten so bad that we are having to stay hours after close just to pick up after not only regular customers, but our collectors.... the hotwheels, and boys asiles in my stores EVERYBODY hates anymore, and not that we are finding toys stashed in diaperbag, ect... PLEASE remember that if you are doing this it is affecting us and our time with our family.

Well i know we all hate scalpers. But next time someone gets the urge to hide something ask yourself. is Hiding something any better than a scalper buying the entire stock. Both do this to deny others access to something. only difference is a scalper does it for profit. not meaning to call names but just think next time. does the person you just denied have to go home and face a very disappointing child. your responsible for that.

Hi. My name is Jon and I work for Toys R Us in Topeka. Just like you, I spend half my time cleaning shelves. I typically do not stash toys however, in certain situations, I put things aside for fellow collectors. Since it is my job I'm impacting, I don't see any issue with this. I try to give the local collectors, like Ick and a couple others I won't name, a better shot at finding the newest stuff.

I understand your perspective and your issue, but I'm not the person to point out as an example.
