Toys R US Canada - 20% off Superheroes, Agents, Hobbit, TMNT (Yawn)

[Veegs]

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!

 

I am ecstatic! I was surprised that the Daily Bugle made it to today, so helped it finally go out of stock. Debating how many GotG sets and 2014 Batman sets to nab, as they'll likely be around another year give or take.

... I don't know why you guys aren't more excited about this sale. ...

 

I suspect many are just burned out from soo many crazy price cuts in October/November & a few good ones in early January... that & tax season is just around the corner too.

Also not so keen on superhero sets coz of all the knock offs. And I'm still mourning the loss of 50%+ off from Target clearance lol.

That being said, I did order a Hobbit set and the GOTG Groot set for myself. :)

There are possibilities of the GOTG sets disappearing this year. You never know. Jump on these while they are on sale. I doubt you can get another shot at these with another $10 off.

Couple more Ultron sets in stock.

 

TRU is taking their sweet time actually shipping my orders... anyone else having slow updates?

[seapotato]

I ordered on the weekend and got the shipping notification last night.

Couple Bat Vs. Bane back in stock.

TRU has shipped all my orders, but Purolator's tracking shows:

"Appointment required for delivery, receiver will be contacted to reschedule"

 

I asked by chat what was going on, and they said because it was a very bulky/heavy order, I would be contacted by the warehouse. It has been two days and no contact or notification has been received. Has anyone ever experienced something similar? Urgh, I profoundly dislike Purolator.

 

(I admit, it's a fairly big batch of TRU orders)

[Stragus]

Arggh! For the latest packages, Purolator's tracking now says "Unable to deliver - loading dock unavailable".

 

Come on Purolator, I didn't order so many that you would need a loading dock!... I think?

 

Everybody, I suggest to go easy on the TRU orders if you want to avoid fighting with Purolator's customer service.

[lego rules]

I have things delivered by everyone and Purolator is the only one that gives me headaches.

[bricketycricket]

I've also been having problems with Purolator. Whenever I miss a delivery and try to reschedule, they tell me they have rescheduled it and then it just sits at the depot as if customer service did absolutely nothing when I called. I still find UPS to be the worst of the bunch though

[Sandwraith]

Hulkbuster set is listed online now, this is the one i really wanted for personal build. Set is $39.99 + $0.99 crayons and you can apply the cineplexholiday for a decent price.

Yes! 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.

I'm all about the airmiles cash now that a covert them to $20 vouchers at TRUs. I can usually earn a 1000 airmiles a month from mostly gas and groceries!
