If you call the store and tell them that its an 'exclusive' Marvel universe 3 pack and ask for the number they give it to you.

I left mine in the car with the wife today. Also helps to ask when the trucks come in (twice a week) so you can call or be there first thing in the AM when they open.

Yes that number, but not all stores have it when you call and ask for it, but they can still look it up if you give it to them. Hence why I need the number. A single store can also use that number to check other stores on the system. It can also tell you if that number is coming in on the truck on the nearest shipping day.

In fact most employees will just tell you it's sold out, or they don't carry it, simply because they can't find it or don't even know what it is. Whereas if you give them the number, they can just type it in the system, and give you the correct answer. As opposed to just BSing their way through cause they don't know.

As I've stated before, I don't have a high opinion of TRU, their employees around here have never been helpful and the one time I found a store with worthwhile knowledgable employees, they fired em. So yeah, the TRUs around here are worthless unless you know the numbers yourself.
