Thanks for the news!  :thanks: I was afraid TRU wasn't getting the new figures at all :o

As far as I know, it's in-store only. And yes, I've been to the FP quite a few times, it's about 45 minutes from my house.
Don't expect a big complex or outdoor play areas like Zirndorf. The indoor play area is definitely larger than the "store" side.
Even when I've been there on "busy" times of the year, I haven't seen the place packed with people and have never had
to wait in line to make my purchases. Most of the staff is fairly knowledgeable and if not sure they try to find the answer for you.
The place needs a little sprucing up (and these are just my pet peeves), they need to update their dioramas. Last time I was there
they still had their old, dusty christmas diorama up on display. I'm guessing after this big sale they will revamp the store and restock
with new items: last time I visited a lot of the drawers in the DS/Add Ons section were empty and had been empty for a while.

Definitely the place to visit in Florida if you are a PM fan.
And no, doesn't matter how hard you try, the staff will not be convinced to sell you one of the life size PM figures.   :lol:
I once asked the girl behind the counter and she told me that once in a while they are instructed to toss old displays...
I then proceeded say, jokingly of course, "well, I guess I'll doing some dumpster diving". She had this look of horror on her face LOL

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I hear ya... the thought of one of those cool, rotating dioramas just laying among half eaten slices of pizza and soiled diapers, in a heap of garbage almost brings a tear to my eye!  :'(

I would love it if all funparks were given permission from Geobra to give these displays to known collectors, rather than throwing them away. It's such a waste.

they should just happen to mention when they are throwing it out... then if it goes missing from the ...um... trash... then nobody needs to know
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.
