Jeez, what an annoying morning.
I left my house at 7:50 this morning after getting back from mass and headed over to Toys R Us. I arrived there around 8:25, and I headed in, not sure what to expect.
Well, this is what greeted me when I walked in.
Awesome, plenty of stock, no worries.
So I picked out the best paint job I could find of the two figures and then started sifting through the rack of power discs, looking for today's release.
Out of 60 or so packs, there were none. I asked one of the ladies behind the counter if they had any of the "new discs" and she said that everything they received they put out. I didn't fully believe her, but I wasn't in a position to argue, so I checked out.
While doing so, another Infinity fan was there picking up a Sully figure. He said the next closest TRU had Mr. Incredible and the discs, but no Sully.
Well, the store was 16 miles out of my way, but I figured I'm out of the house, may as well just get all this out of the way.
When I arrived at the other store I was met with a team of unpleasant employees that were still assembling the Skylanders display. They had neither the new figures or the new discs on the shelves.
I had to ask an employee to check the boxes I noticed behind the counter that clearly said DISNEY INFINITY HOLD UNTIL 10/13 AD on them in big letters for the power discs. The woman, apparently flustered with the Skylanders display, told me she'd be right with me.
So yeah, turns out there was a bubble mailer behind the counter containing the discs. She grabbed me two, I confirmed they were the new ones, and I was out of there.
I still think the first store had the discs, but I don't know for sure.
I probably spent $10 on gas doing all this this morning, but at least it's done.
