Do the Toys R Us holiday express stores carry exclusive items? I only have an express in my city and not a full sized Toys R Us. It never occurred to me that they might carry exclusives.
You could ask the express's manager -- make sure you find the item # so the manager can let you know if they carry it.
they tend to carry overflow from larger stores and id check their prices against the website as they tend to charge way more than they should for almost everything example last holiday the one right down the road from a regular tru had HA figs for nearly 45$ while down the road they were 29 bucks. dont get ripped off. they did the same with my nieces mega blocks 15 at tru and 25 at the express. being as they sometimes set up shop in malls they mark up stuff alot to cover their rent and turn a profit from people trying to get their shopping done.(there are no toy stores in my mall not since kb closed)
Last Christmas season a TRU Express in my area got the TFA Deluxe exclusives, if memory serves. I never went there myself but believe other people reported seeing them there.
