I was making terrible jokes at the expense of all my american compatriots today with my wife when I strolled into a fully stocked TRU in Canada that was alive and well.
And picked these up for a friend:
Toys the US never got at retail from a store the US no longer has.

It will be interesting to see indeed how long it takes for all the stores to close down. At this rate, I cant see it happening as soon as May, unless some deep discounts come pretty quickly. I guess I'm just comparing it to K-Mart. In my area it took several months foi rthe store to close. It died a slow death as the quantity of product grew to be less and less. I imagine the same for TRU, but I guess conceivably they could close before selling the majority of their product. I just have no idea where the unsold toys would go. Seems like a huge waste to send them back to their respective manufacturers, and I'm not sure if TRU would ship them directly to places like Marshalls, Ross or TJ Maxx.

That's not fair ... that's the BS "face shield" version. Notice the regular version (of which the one shown in your photo was a remold) has been nowhere to be found in quite a while.

I don't buy RiD toys...so I wasn't even aware there was another version...Still...I don't think there are that many savvy fans in my area that would reject this release solely based on that...
