black friday at TRU

Sorry to hear that. I was very surprised that I had the easy time I did and that no one was even in the action figure isles at all when I was there. The rest of the store was packed. Now I will admit, a lot of good stuff was gone(got there at about 3, when I got off work) but I did manage to pick up a few figures. They'll become fodder most likely. Got 3 Batman figs, a joker, 2 thugs, a Abomination and a couple of Terminators. Not a bad haul.

holy crap! I got there at like 11. I was in a line that stretched from the door to the back of the building! 2 hours of standing out side in winter weather! then, once we go tin, I could only find 2 TDK MM figures! I bought those, and stood in another line to check out (I was in that one for about an hour and a half)... 3 1/2 hours for two Jokers!!!!

black friday suc.ks!

Nothing wrong with it man. I've sold 7 zhu zhus on ebay this year hahaha

Did you buy anything?



yeah.some hot wheel thing for my brother and a zhu zhu pet ahahaha I don't think my sister wants one tho. ebay here I come. we opened at midnight too. I was gonna get three joker goons but I decided to get the zhu zhu pet instead.

I went to the 3 AM opening of my TRU. Fun fun

Did you buy anything?

I just got home from working at tru. 10pm to 8 am.it was pretty crazy.but only at first. then it was alright. dumb zhu zhu pets.

I went, just because I had just got off work, so I slid on by. It was busy but not near as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Gasp Never

I think my post went crazy lol. I call my friend whitearican and ritz cracker, lol. He's half Irish and portarican. He calls me saltine

Oh quit whining, you've heard far worse.

I Don't Think So !

Are we allowed to call people crackers on here

I usually go out on black friday but am not this year because so many stores have been running deals for a couple months now...the MM sal at Toys R Us is something that they have done like 3 times in as many months...The real appeal of black friday sales is getting to go out and get medievel on cracker soccer moms...

my dad's walmart had laptops or something a few weeks back and they had security. It would help if stores would learn to have enough of stuff instead of getting 3 of an item they know will sell.

because of this we are not even allowed to call it black friday
we call it the event
plus we have like 8 guards now
at our store an employee got punched and spit on last year also a fight broke out in the middle of the store and my brother he works there too had to break it up.

you're brave to even go then lol.

Nothing could be worse than this. A guy was actually trampled to death on Black Friday last year at a Wal Mart. People are such animals when they gather. I will not shop on Black Friday until at least noon when the crazies have done their shopping.

and tickle me elmo and the cabbage patch kids and every other craze

..and we have a winner!

even worse, the beanie baby phase!!!! when I was a kid and even early teens my mom would force me to stand in line with my brother to get them. she was the one who wanted them!!!

You wanna see some ultra crazy shoppers? I worked at Shinders (comic store in MN) during the height of the Pokemon craze and let me tell ya, those people were CRAZY! We had our lines broken up a few times by the Fire Marshals because there were just too many people in the building. Those kids would do anything for a pack of cards, one time I told a kid I'd give him a free back if he ate a bumblebee. I didn't think he would do it, but he chewed that bad boy down. The one upside is you could bribe the kids with free packs to go fetch your lunch, lol.

That's how it is with my dad on nightime cleaning, they can't really do much with so many folks. I need more joker thugs but have no TRU's nearby so I'll go to biglots and get them for 8.00 if they ahve them.

hey, ditto on the tickle me elmo, but I judt missed the tamagachi. was there for furby though............

Wal Mart had plenty of Zhu Zhu pets (as in dozens of the critters and plenty of shelves of the maze parts) when we got em for our daughter, which was like a month ago. If folks are waiting till the last minute to get them, they deserve to get scalped imho.

well this year it's just as bad with zhu zhu pets

I had to work at TRU during the Tickle Me Elmo and Tamagochi crazes. -That's- hell.

I used to stock at walmart overnight, I hated black Friday. Once we cut the pallets me and my friends took a 45 minute break and no one even noticed

I have to work
starting at 4 am till 1 pm its gonna suck

yeah do I need more jokers? (I have 11 of the MM one) but oh what the hell

Yes, I was just looking at the add myself. I might have to make a trip there to see what they have.
