Dr Who Figures at Toys'r'Us and FYE!!!
May. 1st, 2009 11:03 amSo, about a year ago, we went to the Wesley Chapel Toys'r'Us and what did we find? DW merchandise!!! They had the Daleks in Manhatten set, Cyberman masks, sonic screwdriver and two sets of actions figures, including the Regeneration set. It had been misplaced on the 9.99 rack, which I didn't know, so when it rang up 16.99, it was like, what??
Naturally, they sent someone out to go look while another employee over the Walkie-Talkie yelled, "Exterminate! Exterminate!"
So awesome...
Then, a few months later, they had the season four action figures, just one set, but still, I got Ten with cute, wittle, bitty baby Adipose for 14.99.
Also, the FYE at Countryside had an Ood figure which I'm guessing was all they had left of the whole season four set!
Now, last time we visited, neither had anything, BUT we are between series and toys so I'm hopeful that this is just a dry spell. The important thing is that if Wesley Chapel TRU and a Clearwater FYE can have DW merchandise, then living in the states is no longer an excuse. Any local TRU and FYE is capable of having this stuff or even, fingers crossed, Torchwood!! So, bug them, annoy them, ask them every time you come into your local establishment, "When are you getting Dr Who and Torchwood???"
Also, the TRU website is having merchandise from time to time. Right now they seem to be inbetween shipments, but when I checked they had Doctor Who Dalek Sec Mask, Doctor Who 6-Pack 5" Action Figures in Gift Box - Series 3, Doctor Who 12" Judoon Captain Action Figure and a Doctor Who: Season Three 5" Action Figure Manhattan Dalek which is on sale for just 2.98.

It definitely beats trying to buy things from overseas or paying those exorbitant Amazon prices! I looked up my Ten with Adipose figure the night I got it and they were charging FOUR TIMES what TRU charged, ridiculous.
