what section are you finding these in? I've searched 3 local TRU and not one of them even has a sign of them. They still have a ton of clearance stuff and hardly any other muggs.

They had them with the other Marvel Muggs. But since each store is only getting 3 Punishers and 1 Jigsaw they probably don't last long. My only hope is that since it is an exclusive TRU bought a ton of them.
Same thing happened with Targets Bat-Pod Exclusive. First few weeks they sold out fast, then two months later they were on clearance. That is my hope, or I am not getting Jigsaw.

It seems like they had some exclusive GI Joe sets as well and they were scarce right now. It seems like every TRU I went to was doing a reset of their action figure aisles and had just done inventory and were clearancing stuff out. Hopefully they will just show up late.

Yay!
I went to the Chandler AZ store on my lunch break and saw the same 10 marvel muggs on the shelf. I went up to customer service and gave them the Jigsaw printout from the website and asked if they had this item. She looked up and said they had 4. They found the box in the back with 3 Punisher and 1 Jigsaw and brought them out.
I left the other 2 Punishers if any one is looking.
Also, it's interesting that the computer showed 4 as the inventory for Jigsaw. The Punisher/Jigsaw item number is either the same, or they don't keep a separate inventory number.
PS: I was in the store on Monday, and the customer service told me trucks usually come on Friday and Sunday...so she was dead on

i just picked up the jigsaw at a different toys r us....i guess what i read in the other posts said was true...the jigsaw is considered extremely rare as each store gets at least one box of these exclusives, each box consisting of 3 punishers and only one jigsaw....

Went to some Toys 'R' Us, even few far away ones, and did not find any hint of Punisher let alone Jigsaw. I wonder if the shortage is a way that Hasbro and Toys 'R' Us trying to see how popular these couple ones are and to determine if they should produce more or not, so they would not have the overstock problem of Commander Gree and Fertility Idol.
