They also had several pegs of decent 30th Anniversary G.I. Joes (Airtight, Lifeline, SciFi and a horde of Zombie-Vipers, amongst others). They also had tons of Marvel stuff and everything else. My only real tip is to also check the very back wall behind the musical instruments. For some reason they have a lot of the adult collectibles back there instead of on the main action figure aisles (like Prometheus, Mego-style monsters, video game-based figures like Mortal Kombat, etc.)

AND! They had two of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime's!

I stopped by TRU today. I managed to finally get the Star Wars Mandalorian Transport, which was packed with a Jedi Starfighter. Unfortunately the EU Vintage figs and GI Joe Zombie Vipers were cleaned out. I also forgot to check out the adult-figures in the back, which is a shame as I would have loved to take a look at the Prometheus guys. I'll have to remember to look when I go back next week. (it's weird saying that, but it will be nice to be able to hit TRU weekly)
