Well, each time, I found an employee who asked me, "Can I help you find something, Sir?"

Then I'd ask for the Avengers movie action figures. In the first place, they expressly stated multiple times that they had a street date of Feb 27. So I asked them if they could look it up in the computer since I had heard of them getting released on the 5th. Once they found that to be true in the computer, they verified it with the manager and pulled out all the Avengers stuff.

The second TRU couldn't find a street date for the figures anywhere in the computer, which they said is good, and means that there isn't one. So they pulled it out too.

In both cases, I had to use two numbers, the TRU item number and the SKU:

TRU item #: 379031
UPC: 653569699446
DPCI: 087060371

Otherwise I think they'd have trouble finding them in the computer.

The issue is on the boxes. They're labeled "Do not put on shelf until 2/27/12"


The second TRU had to check and see if they'd ring up before giving them to me. Neither had a problem doing so.
