This is in Milwaukee, WI (Toys R Us on South 27th if any other locals are reading this)

I wonder if Toys R Us has a distribution center near there. I checked my store 2-3 days ago and the clerk hadn't heard anything about them.

Mezco Lion-O at Toys R Us..

There is a distribution center in Joliet Il, and a retail store about a block away and they still have nothing.

Kmarts website actually lists if the store nearest by zip code actually has Thundercats in stock. I typed in mine and the store nearest me listed all the stuff as available in store, I took a ride and the store was loaded.

Home from work. I took some pictures of everything to post before I start opening it all up.

As for the scale question, Kit and Kat are a tad bit too small for the 6" line, but may work with a little imagination. THe Mummy Mumm-Ra is way too small, though. After I open, I'll take some pictures of them together.


*Edit:
I added a picture of the 6" Lion-O with the 4" Mummy Mumm-Ra, Kit & Kat and Snarf.

That snarf is actually perfect for the 6" line. Kit and Kat are a bit too small but Mumm-Ra really doesn't work.

Awesome display there and deserves :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Cool another place to check and save on them with my employee discount. :D

Yep. Ocelli and I visited a TRU after seeing Cowboys & Aliens (decent movie, though it could have been better). She asked the salesperson, and he said they probably wouldn't be out for at least another month. However, there are a couple of Kmart stores in the area (one in the Perring Plaza shopping center, the other off of Belair Rd near White Marsh). So maybe when time permits, we'll check them out.

Personally, I'm in no hurry. I figure they'll get here when they get here. Bandai's got a pretty good distribution policy...at least it's better than Mattel's! I remember driving hither and yon looking for the new MOTU and DC Universe Classics figures. Somehow I don't think I'll have that problem with the new TCats line.

Do you ever wonder if a TRU employee tells you something isn't there, but it really is? Like he just says it's not there so he can buy all of it when he gets off work?

I wonder that sometimes, lol.

That's probably something I'd do if I worked there :D

I never knew they had a Kmart in that shopping center, I drive past there all the time to go my orthodontics. Maybe I check that one out Thanks!

I really hope Bandai is AMAZED by the sales of these toys. Thanks for the heads up! I'll wait a week and go again, they never get anything good around here for a while anyways

Tru have pretty much everything in-stock on-line now (and free shipping for orders over $75) but they are more expensive than K-mart.

Thanks for this, I am going to order all of them today if my local TRU doesn't have them in stock yet. So after 9:30 rolls around, we'll see if they have them.

Just want to add a note too, TRU has the 4" deluxe figures for 14.99 each, but BBTS has all 4 for 54.99 which is cheaper. TRU offers free shipping over $75 though.

Saw the T-cats in my local TRU (Champaign, IL) today! I wasn't planning on it, but I bought the Lizard Cannon vehicle. The Lizard trooper figure it comes with is very cool! He has pretty much the same articulation as the rest of the line.

Is there a 4" deluxe and 4" non-deluxe?? What's the difference?

Can't wait for my TRU....They have the Mezco lion-o now but nothing Bandai yet.

Yeah, I think the deluxe come with stands that say things, also it's the only place to get Grune and Mumm-ra after his transformation.

Found in ohio... Kmart!

Columbus Ohio, Brice Road KMART, AND Bethel Rd KMARTS have them in stock, but not on shelves. You HAVE To ASK for them... $6.99 each for the 4", just like the website, 1 Cheetara ONLY in the box we opened. They did not find anything other than the 4" and 6" deluxe though. They are STILL doing toy isle resets all week long. Someone earlier on another board said they found them at the Lancaster, Ohio KMART as well.

No Central Ohio Toys R Us have them yet, none of the 5 Walmarts I checked had a clue, and I confirmed that 2 Target locations are NOT getting the first wave (if ANY near to be released ones).

has anybody found the 8in classic figures at Kmart? overall kmart seems to be a bit cheaper

Ugh, you've got to be kidding me. I was at all the Columbus K-Marts yesterday looking for them. Wonder when Bethel got them in, they checked for me with no luck. Hm.

Target won't get them until late this year per Dan Norton. TRU on Polaris said they have at a few shipments coming in next week for a big store display. So hopefully next week will pay off. Both the Brice Rd TRU and Polaris TRU have the Mezo Lion-o's.

UPDATE: Well, it seems Target listed the ThunderTank

Please do not post links to stores that do not support the site!

Nothing at Kart, TRU, Target, Or Walmart here in RI. =( I'll check Newbury Comics tommorow at the mall, its a store that sells a bunch of suff. Haha

Thundertank, 6" figures, and one 4" Mumm-Ra at K-Mart in Fayetteville, NC.

Found them at the Aurora TRU today, so they're making their way out. TRU and Kmart seem to be the only places carrying them right now.
