TOYS R U Canada
« on: January 21, 2004, 10:39:41 AM »
To all my fellow canadian collectors tired of not finding anything in Canada, especially the TRU exclusives.
I just finished talking to an assistant buyer for TRU. He mentioned that military toys traditionally doesn't do well here and he suggested the best way to get the company to bring in stuff like the BAT APC, COBRA Trooper pack etc ... is to send an email to customer service

customerservice.canada@toysrus.com

asking to have these products in these stores. Also anyone who goes to ToysRus alot could try to develop some rappor with the store managers, and get the store to push the head office to get these items for us.

LETS FIGHT TO GET TOYS UP TO CANADA!!!!

I sent an email. This was the response I got :
"Unfortunately this is all that is listed in our data system.  Please contact your local Toys "R" Us store by using our sku# provided below.
 
**********Please note that prices are subject to change**************
 
G.I.JOE 12"          AUTH.FOOTLCKR       sku# 510653      $19.99
G.I.JOE 3.75"        FIGURE ASST.           sku# 585556     $ 2.98
 
Thank you,
Ofelia
Customer Service Canada"

I'm guessing the sku # 585556 is for the Big Ben/White out packs.

That sucked.

Actually, I believe the sku is for Wave 5 of Spy Troops.

Not Spy Troops........ At least not wave 5.
The sku for the cases of wave 5 is 569950 92E

Just checked Hasbros buyer site...... not in there at all?

So even I'm stumped.

I think it's the assortment number on the UPC on the bottom of the packs that morgardee has. I'll double check when I get home, but I seem to rememeber that number.

I got my reply back from TRU, they said they would forward to purchasing.


Well, I guess if more people keep filling in their inboxes with complains, maybe they'll take us seriously.
