Question TRU Reset!

I'm sure that most of you are aware that Toys R Us either is or has reset their aisles with lots of new Johnny pegs. Has anyone seen new stock of the new lines that belong on said pegs? So far the only new things I've seen are Maisto pro street ns some GL Barrett4(which is new @ TRU) but no new Johnies. ANYONE?

Not yet but they probably reset them ahead of time so they could accomodate the stock when it arrives, so keep checking!

Counted 30 pegs labelled for JLs at one TRU; another had far fewer and yet another still had the endcap display

A woman at the 30 peg store said they are going to start getting 2 trucks per week soon. I'll be running to that store frequently.
Was there today, but nothing new yet.
On the flipside, I did not see any pegs labelled for Road Trip.

Checked today, they have 28 JL labeled pegs. The same old few cars scattered on 5 of them, but maybe there is hope!

ours has around 30 pegs and half are filled with the non-selling plymouth furys.
The GL display has the same old furys and the old chrysler in about the same quanity.

Only one TRU in this state has done that so far and 95% of the pegs are empty. All the other TRU I have been to have been reduced to the metal side racks and are all the old stuff that has been there for months.

I USED to work there (96-99)and those mattresses are actually quite comfortable. Made the overnights bearable when working 10pm to 3pm the next day, during Christmas.

Went to check yesterday. Had a total of 31 pegs labeled for JL and 8 labeled for GL. Most of the JL labels were for the stuff that was due out the end of Jan. or the month of Feb.
