Thank you so much!! I appreciate it!!

I've only seen 2 at my local TRU. And no signs of Geoffrey.

Rare??

I can’t believe the hype train boosted its price like that. [-X

i found one yesterday at tru

Postby **Whitetiger217** » Fri Dec 08, 2017 6:49 pm

I'm still looking!

I still see the same two at my local TRU. I don't believe it's that rare, lol

I think it depends. My TRU got zero. There's literally none in San Diego.

I saw a pretty big handful of Narwhals at my TRU the other day, and I see Papa and Jovie everywhere, but I have yet to see a Buddy lol

Buddy doesn’t exist. He’s a myth. Right?

I think they came out way later than the other pop. They just started showing up last week at our TRUs.

havent seen it at TRU

Look at the Toys R Us website and you notices they have some available for pick up in store only. Also noticed price went from $9.99 to $11.99 There maybe some left over in some stores. Link below

Apparently my store never received them per a manager

Postby **emk194** » Mon Dec 11, 2017 6:30 pm

Is this the TRU exclusive one? I've seen many of them in-store and it's been available online on TRU.ca (Canadian site) for a while now. :-k

Mine had a quiet a few too but went fast, this a must for any Elf fan.

Postby **fischmioli** » Tue Dec 12, 2017 12:44 am

My local TRU had about 10 today.

Such an odd Pop to be in short order. You think they would have a good amount since he’s only in the movie for a second!

Postby **kdmlvr** » Wed Dec 13, 2017 12:09 pm

I am still missing this one

Postby **blue85butterfly** » Wed Dec 13, 2017 3:03 pm

I work for a TRU and we haven't gotten ours they said there was an issue shipping them to the DC.

Postby **Kickinittt** » Thu Dec 14, 2017 4:17 am

I saw nearly 20 of them at both of my local TRU’s. I don’t think they’re all that rare based on the other comments too!

Postby **Mr.Sci-Fi** » Thu Dec 14, 2017 6:49 am

Haven’t seen them in Everett wa yet.

Postby **joecolt** » Thu Dec 14, 2017 7:27 am

Ever since I've read this thread, I've yet to seen one

They were selling them at the Funko HQ store weeks before they hit TRU site or shelves

Hmm I didn’t see them there. Did they put many out? Sometimes it’s a case or two and that’s it.

Postby **JokersWild** » Thu Dec 14, 2017 12:52 pm

You mean hard to find, there's a difference. Rare is being numbered or limited.

Postby **Whitetiger217** » Thu Dec 14, 2017 12:53 pm

I just gave up looking and put him on my Christmas list and got myself the shirt from Kohls. lol

Not sure how many, I just remember being jealous that others were posting there finds and I had to wait another three weeks lol

Narwhal is crazy hard to find. Found one at TRU, but the box was smashed.

Postby **blue85butterfly** » Mon Dec 18, 2017 2:47 pm

checking system later today ill see what i can find

Postby **2017fanatic** » Tue Dec 19, 2017 1:35 am

I got lucky to find them while on a work trip this past week.. I didn't pay for baggage so this had to be my carry on lol

Postby **blue85butterfly** » Tue Dec 19, 2017 3:58 pm

Last night I went and looked nothing not even a DC inventory.

Postby **Basher23** » Tue Dec 19, 2017 7:30 pm

My TRU had 8 this last weekend i passed but it looked cool!

I think it really depends where you live. In SD you never find goodies on shelves.

Great pop, i'll be ordering one along with Geoffrey when it goes live on the canadian site!

I hope you find one. But, I thought Toys R Us stores in Canada already had it released. I still find plenty in my nearest store. But, customer service keep it behind the counter to prevent damage and crush from door busters.

That my main ISO to complete my Elf Set but I need OG Elf pop

Postby **blue85butterfly** » Mon Jan 08, 2018 5:08 pm

looked again and still no im hoping we get a second go at this

Postby **FerrisGuy3** » Mon Jan 08, 2018 11:19 pm

When I went to my local store there was only one and it was pushed behind a bunch of other older Realeased Pops. Glad I searched through them

Postby **acciofunko** » Mon Jan 08, 2018 11:55 pm

I still haven't seen it show up at my local TRU ](*,)
