TRU Peabody MA Sunday November 11
Nothing too exciting. Some RS Classics if you need them, though IMO these are going to be joining Finn in a landfill in a year or so (really, is there any demand for Ron Hover???). They did have the Metallic Take Flight Two Pack. They had the BiPlane-but again, it looks just like Barney Stormin (yawn). Pretty sad when my son a gift card and there isn't a single or two pack that was of interest to him. I hope they release some new diecasts for Christmas.

Pretty much the same here… plenty of Radiator Springs Classics restocked in the two stores I visited today but nothing else.

That's funny Sloths. One of the TRUs near me had nothing but Ramone, LMQ and Mater RSCs, and they had a ton of them. The pegs in all the stores near me are always nice and warm…

Well after the events of today, I can cross a store off my hunting list.
Went to TRU today, the usual trash, and asked the manager if they had more in the back. The manager said that these are not selling well, and that they're DONE WITH THE LINE!

RodredlineM19,
What do you mean that they are "done with the line?" Are they not making any more radiator springs classics after wave 2, or are they no longer going to carry Cars 2? Does this apply to only your store or all Toys R Us? Thanks.

I don't know if RodRedline read any of Met's recent Posts or not, but he made an announcement that the UPC for the Porto Corsa cardback is changing for the new Cardback, so product can get in instead of having to wait until the existing product leaves. All that really means is his store won't be getting any more Porto Corsa cardback Cars, like GGG, Cartney, or any in Case P.

No, what I mean is that since they're not selling well, the manager told me that at least my TRU isn't ordering any more cars. They said they're keeping the Metallic and RS Classics, which doesn't help at all because both of those are pretty much done with. Also, the RSC didn't help me at all, as the only car I needed was the plastic tire N20 Cola, which somehow was cancelled
So inclusion, TRU is pretty much done with the Cars 2 line. Fillmore1234, I was waiting for somebody to say that, I know about the new UPCs

Visited a Toy R Us in Oklahoma and just like all of the other stores I visited, nothing. Glad to be back home, I'm going to have to do some pre-Black Friday hunting next week.

Hooray! The only RSC I actually need… gotta check in some time in the next week – TRU is about 40 miles away from where I live.

I ran into the Mattel reps in the Toys R Us today and they had no information about Cars at all, very dissapointing but they did let me open the 3 cases of Classics.

Just left TRU and very slim pickings, few classics and a couple metallic and Mack haulers. But oddly enough I found an Octane Gain Semi… kind of exciting, my son doesn't have it so i picked it up. Went to Walmart and Target but found nothing.

The Octane Gain Semi has been warming every TRU's pegs for years – maybe it's manditory?

Are the Metallic Francesco's hard to find? I saw them in both my local TRU's but did not pick them up. Son has silver series already so i wasn't sure if it would have even excited him?

At this time it's sort of mixed… i remember back in August, he was extremely rare – since he's been out three months, more people are finding them (not me ) so they still are rare, but not as rare as he was in August or September.
