Oh well... I'll check back later
I don't like inconsistency. I am happy I got a few though. But I wanted more for my LUG brethren.
I'd say, people who want them, just check back this weekend and you'd be able to find some.
Now I really want the Electro figure that supposedly is a TRU exclusive too....any news on that?

Apparent some TRU stores only check their online inventory access for things. This will show no Raccoons, but if you ask for available stocks at store they will find them in their store. Weird I know but just some info.
After reading about other people's experiences I was a bit surprised by mine. I fully expected to be told I couldn't buy any or could only buy 1 or 2. And, it surprised me that I think I was the first person in my home town to ask about them.
I was able to buy them outright, no limits (though I limited myself as I know others are looking for them). They are also at another TRU store by me, in a bin as well, apparently no limit (at least I did not see a sign or anything).
Not sure why stores are saying they cannot sell them.. Maybe previous experiences have driven some managers to not allow future promos to be available for sale where other just see it as 'I'll sell them, but I'm not going to let someone walk out with a 10-25% of our existing stock because their is a promo due', maybe others were selling them until the promo started, then there are those that do not care as they make their money in any case. I'm fortunately enough to have two stores around me apparently feeling the 4th way, but that can change at anytime.
I do feel bad those getting hamstrung by managers, but at the same time I can see why they may do that if the stocks are limited (only got 50, or less) or they have maybe had past instances where people abused the good will of the store (walked out with the box), or enough people railed against the manager due to not able to get a promo figure because they were all sold out.
