Just went into TRU cardiff, and it had the most miserable selection ever.
Looks like they have been filling their shelves with dross overstock,
hopefully in preperation for new stuff, but It looked like they were cutting
down on the shelf space. They had loads of odds and sods of bellville (all
full price) loads of UCS Xwings (all full price), some UFO ships (all full
price) and some football sets. And that was it (apart from the wealth of
Znap they always have - at full price)

Why are we always last with the new stuff :(

Toys 'R' Us in Portsmouth have some 2002 models.  They've got all the • new
pull-back-and-go Racers (small ones with block-body figs 4582 and • 4583,
two
each in 4594 and 4593, some larger monster-truck and F1 sizes with • whole
minifigs 4584 and 4585, and some semi-technic ones).
They've got some underwater Alpha Team sets - the 4793 and 4794 black • and
yellow subs, and the 4795 Ogel base.
They've also got the Harry Potter Gringott's bank and Troll sets.

That just about sums up what TRU Croydon had today.

I got a 4594 of the racers, with a green and an orange car.  For • pull-back
toys, they're pretty good - just don't expect much speed on thick • carpet.
A
normal minifig wouldn't sit low enough, so instead there's a naff • 2x2x1
one-piece seated body with a normal minifig head and helmet on.

I went for 4585, with it's nice light blue new triangular plates, and • real
minifig. I was amazed at the sheer number of Racers sets -- 9 plus the 4
Technic ones that are not labelled as such (is the end of Technic as we • know
it??)

From Alpha Team, I got the 4793 Ogel sub.

Same here! My large S@H order should arrive next week too!

(...) snip I have noticed the same thing at TRU Woking and Cribbs Causeway Bristol. I'm going to have a look at the TRU at Brent Cross soon, one of my students works there. As for the Walmart in Bristol, forget it, they seem to have settled nicely (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)
