Dude, good catch on the Cobra Troopers! Those are pretty hard to find these days. Good to know that it was for both 3.75" and bigger. I had read it about on the S6 forums but there was NO mention of it on the 3.75" forum over on the JBL.

From what I understand, TRU doesn't actually order anything. People in a central office (of TRU) sit there and look at #s and move stock around. So if San Jose's TRU sells 5 Kamakura w/ Ninja Bikes, those # crunchers say, "Wow, it's selling! Better send them more!!!" Then San Jose gets sent 30 more. lol. The real kicker is that the distribution plays favorites. So if San Jose sells thru their shipment of 5 Defense Mechs, distribution JUST might pull the order for Bellingham, Wa's shipment of mechs and give it to San Jose. NOrmal practice, yes. But the fact is, B'ham never had the mechs. I had friends at the TRU looking out for them and they never came. Anyway... Where were we. Oh yes, TRU sucks.

BUT at least A store got the 3.75" singles. I don't think Hasbro could support Target or Walmart w/ the #s they were producing. A typical wave was around 100,000 units. The online stuff was cut to around 30k. There simply wasn't enough to support the big stores. TRU may have been able to get away with it because of the many stores that they closed down recently.
