I got a call from the whatever department at TRU that handles crazy moms. I nearly laughed the poor kid off the phone. I mean, as far as I am concerned, I won't get a straight answer from them. THEY ARE the company I have the problem with.
Anyhow, the kid that called said that the order to stop selling the cards came in like 5 min after I entered the store. Theoretically, had I just run in, & bought them without going further in the store, we would have had them. He said an order came down--but he never did say from whom-- that the CDIC said to stop selling the cards until they do some "random testing for the safety of the public" on them.
Are you joking? These are trading cards. Not painted toys. Isn't lead paint an issue? I did not hear that ink or mylar are an issue. These are cards printed in ink, wrapped in mylar & put on a bubble pack card for rack display. NO other toy in that line was pulled & the cards are for sale other ways on line. So, if the CDIS was truely thinking someone was tampering with them in some way, ALL cards from ALL vendors would be pulled.
Anyway, big business stinks, and I will never know what they are truely up to.
