The best part, they were only $19.99. Seems like a great deal.
The SKU is: 261556

$20 is a reasonable price.

If anyone can post the SKU for the 5 packs, it would be appreciated. It seems like the 5 packs are in the same situation as the 3 packs. Meaning they are going out on the shelves without being in the system.
See First post.

And a big thanks for that BTW. When I picked up mine they were starting to look for the sku and I just held up my blackberry and said "Use this. My friend told me this would save time". It did. I was out of there in 30 seconds.
The green shirt set is very blah but the Crimson set is nice. Too bad I have no room for all of them right now. It's funny, you can buy 1 G.I. Joe figure from TRU for $9.99 or 5 for $19.99. I'm glad I didn't go crazy over the original Crimson Guard figures when they first came out. Now, how long until we see a BAT set and a Viper set?

I'm kicking myself for that one. I bought quite a few single Crimson Guards so I just couldn't justify buying more then one of these 5-packs. It's a great deal IMO, but I really don't need any more.

They had about 6 sets of both 5 packs, but didn't have them in the computer - I am so glad I jotted down the SKU# I would have been there forever.
I also noticed they restocked all of their comic 2-packs, plenty of the last 2 waves - they also had the Torch/Ripper pack - I have never seen it in Canada before today.

I found all the senior command packs - and Toys R Us in London must have re-stocked everything they've ever carried, because it was PACKED with GI Joe toys. Every comic pack (except the black-headed Destro) was there... I was lucky enough to find the Silent Interlude comic pack I was missing, too.

I was in London just this weekend and they had nothing. Curse them. Curse them to heck.

Surprise, surprise, they had a problem with the SKU number for the CG set. So I did what Dave did, by showing off the SKU number from my Blackberry to the TRU person. That offically my friends nerded me out today. How embarassing.

Rotten timing!
I'll be up in Ottawa next Thursday, so I plan on visiting the stores up there. Crossing my fingers in hope to find one.

Haza, I found both sets today at my local TRU in Whitby.

Granted it's more in line with what I expected TRU to charge, but still, there was no way I was going to pay it.

I tried to pick up a CG 5 pack, and the scanned price came up 39.99. :- I happened to have my receipt for the other 5 pack that I got for 19.99, and convinced them to match it, but I was shocked by the new higher price.

Crap. Too good to last. Was that the Kitchener TRU?

I don't buy it. It has to be a mistake by the store. One TRU tried to charge me 30 bucks for the Sea Command set and I told them to check again.
I will probe around in my area and see what the prices are here. But the TRU closest to me is sold out of the 5-packs for over a week.

My local TRU still has a ton of these packs. I mean a ton. I think TRU went overboard on ordering these packs.
You mean like the ridiculously packed wave 1 vehicles?
The only good thing is that these are cheap ($4 a fig) when you break it down, and are army builders, so they should move a little faster. I might pick up a couple more myself.

And if there are any Transformers collectors, they had the deluxe TF's on sale for $7.65. I grabbed Ironhide and Sideswipe.

I think the title of this thread should be "Excessive Troop Builder Packs @ Toys'R'Us". Still a ton of of these sets every where I go. This isn't good.
Let's face facts. TRU over ordered on pretty much everything so unless we make a concerted effort to buy for "toys for tots" or some other Christmas charity, then we will be seeing all of this in the new year as well.

That is a damned fine idea. I may just pick up a 5 pack and toss it in at work. It's a nice way to spread the brand and get the excess inventory off the shelves.
