gregpj Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Yaawwwwn.... Another week, another sub-par Toys R US sale. Seriously waiting for a Technic sale! Maybe all the Target clearance nut jobs will clean them out at 20% off . Quote
@rtisan Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 More money in the wallet this weekend then, not such a bad thing. Though after all this time without a quality sale on most things (BOGO 50% please?) it`s starting to feel like ancient history. 1 Quote
bricketycricket Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Hmm...maybe the Lonely Mountain will be 20% off? Even if so, I'm not sure that's enough to sway me... Quote
Sandwraith Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Haven't used to cineplex coupon lately, think it will still work on these? If so %20+ $10 off some of those Super Hero sets will be decent. Hmm...maybe the Lonely Mountain will be 20% off? Even if so, I'm not sure that's enough to sway me... I'm very wary myself of anything LOTR/Hobbit now, but %20 + $10 coupon (if it works) might be the best price we've seen to date on it. Walmart has them at $120? but they might go lower, if you can find a location that has them that is... Quote
Veegs Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Yawn!!?? I'm pretty excited about a few of the SH sets. I doubt that the recently retired sets are going to last long. I checked stock of some of the ones I would want to target and numbers are pretty limited. I'd guess they will be gone quickly. With some crafty planning you can get 35-40% off just retired sets - I'm salivating, not yawning. At any rate, more for me! Quote
seapotato Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Might check out the hobbit stuff. Want some for my own collection! Quote

My storage space is bursting at the seams, so maybe I'm just convincing myself the sale stinks.. Really though, I'm waiting for a great sale on Technic. My TRUs are loaded with sets that have just been retired in the UK but at full Canadian MSRP + 13% I can't bite (9398 is $282 after taxes). Quote

Agreed - my storage area is pretty full, too, but SH sets aren't that big. I think the Daily Bugle, Tumbler Chase, Ice Batman and Spider Cycle chase look like solid bets. I won't grab any of the 2014 sets yet as I don't have the room and I don't want to tie the capital up, but I do think there are some deals to be had. Quote
Stragus Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Blergh! I was planning on getting a few Lonely Mountain (79018), checking every hour when the sale would come online. And when I finally see the sale live, 79018 is out of stock. Okay, which one of you guys did it? Quote
bricketycricket Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I was wondering the same thing! The sale didn't go live at midnight EST like they usually do, and wasn't live at 12:30 either. When I checked back again, it was live and the Lonely Mountain had poofed. Oh well, I don't think I would've bought it anyway -- there are better places to park $120. Quote
Veegs Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Just an FYI in case you were looking for ideas - I used the Crayola crayons .99 pack to get my $39.99 order over the threshold to use the cineplexholiday coupon. They don't deliver so you have to select store pickup, but I have kids who could always use crayons plus I work at a school so I could donate a few packs. Helps to maximize the savings on the Batman Tumbler set. Dark Knight was an awesome movie and this matches the best price I was able to get for this set from Target Canada when they clearanced these out before. I think eight left in stock. 1 Quote
Sandwraith Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Milano poofed pretty quick too, argh. Quote
exciter1 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I'm hoping for this sale in the US as well. Quote

Used the .99 cent Crayons to get a Knowhere Mission for personal build, thanks! I'll likely donate these if i rack multiple up over this sale Quote
Veegs Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Used the .99 cent Crayons to get a Knowhere Mission for personal build, thanks! I'll likely donate these if i rack multiple up over this sale I'm going to give them to the daycare part of where I work. It will make me feel slightly better about using the coupon code so much over the last three weeks. Good karma. As for Milano...I'd check back on Monday. Last weekend the Furry Creatures and Bike Shop went OOS over the weekend but I think they must have consolidated or updated after because they came back into stock. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more pop up. Maybe some more Lonely Mountain sets, too. Quote
fatboycarney Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Milano poofed pretty quick too, argh. Yes this sucked. Wanted one for build. Quote
fatboycarney Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Dont forget about Airmiles cash as well Had 60 bucks in coupons so got the following 1 Daily Bugle - $2.91 after discount and Cineplex code and 2 $20 dollar airmiles evouchers 1 Daily Bugle - $22.91 after discount and Cineplex code and 1 $20 dollar airmles evoucher Quote

I use my Airmiles cash coupons religiously. As soon as i have enough for a $20 card i buy it. I usually save these for exclusives however just to soften the blow. 1 Quote

I wonder if anyone has ever done the math to see which is better? Use cash vouchers to buy X, sell it for Y VS paying full price for a flight? Hmmmm... I'm betting it works out better to keep using them for flights. Quote

Use cash vouchers to buy X, sell it for Y VS paying full price for a flight? Hmmmm... I'm betting it works out better to keep using them for flights Depends what kind of flip you could pull. To get an exclusive takes quite a few airmiles, though. I'd agree that it is probably better to use for flights...unless you don't travel much. Then Lego, Lego, Lego! Bat vs Bane is gone, most of the Hobbit sets, too. My guess is Bugle also goes OOS today. 1 Quote

Inzane Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Further to the lameness I see TRU is tending to not include "new" sets in their sale. I was hoping to pick up a Green Latern set at 20% off, for example. Oh well. Quote

Yeah the new stuff is usually not included in their blanket sales until at least a couple months after receiving stock Quote
Stragus Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 A bunch of stuff came back in stock today. I don't know why you guys aren't more excited about this sale. The 20%, plus 10$ of 40$ with the CineplexHoliday code, means up to 40% off. On top of that, the current CAD weakness makes these retail prices cheaper than in the U.S. (though we pay more taxes, as usual). As someone who parts out sets, I'm very happy with paying 25%-35% off the tax-free U.S. retail price! Quote
Sandwraith Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 For anyone interested; one of the new Ultron sets is in stock and you can use the $10 off coupon on it. Not really a deal, but for anyone who wants to grab it asap it's not bad. Grabbed a few Milano's Quote
