mongrelhorde Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Oh FFS. Guess I should read the fine print even more finely I'll try to charm the cashier with my smooth talking and good looks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliminator Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 The minifig display cases are good if you can find them. TRU Canada sells them for the same price as TRU USA....$30. Lego store sells them for $40. So, 2x $30, then apply the $15 discount isn't so bad. Lego store 2x $40 = $80, vice 2x $30 -$15 =$45 Either way, I'm using these for my own storage needs, vice investment/resale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emonster Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I successfully used a card on a lego 20% set at the Saint Bruno store and received a $10 card for January, but they had no more promo set left or I would have gotten that also. I won`t be using the rest of my 4 cards, so if anyone wants them let me know and I will mail them to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the big no-no on this. TRU policy is 45 days. I cleaned some IR sets today with the $15 card and the manager asked me if I'm selling them, I said yes. Then she asked will I return them if I can't sell them, I said I might. She chuckled. No law against returning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, returning sets you can't sell (in large quantities) is frowned upon because it is not good for resellers. Do what you want, but don't promote these kinds of practices. If you want to discuss the topic, feel free to do so in the ethics thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No law against returning. Well although there isn't a law against returning, doing that in large quantities can cause companies to be abusing their return policy and result in negative changes in their (liberal) return policy. Up to you if you want to do that, I guess. And honestly if you can't take the risk yourself in holding your own Lego stock and living with your mistakes, and instead have to run back to TRU to return extra sets I perhaps would ask you to reconsider "investing" in Lego. **EDIT** Got it c-rpg.

111ins Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 4 transactions today, three Trevi fountains and a mystery machine with a trick or treat set to get that one over $50. The girl took the $15 off cards from last week for all of them and got four more $10 cards for January. AND four bonus Santa sets, not bad for a Friday morning.

I was just responding to his comment that's all. The rules are there, you play by it, I play by it. I write about it, and does that mean I am the only one doing this? One time I saw one guy return 8 sets of the Town Hall. Too bad he didn't held on, that's his problem now. I don't think I'll be returning the IR. I made a decent amount percentage-wise last year. When it goes oos completely, the only thing I can think of is why I didn't clean the remaining sets that are still live on TRU now. This also happened to me on the Sea Cow last year, I cleaned 36 sets and there were still 8 sets on Amazon.ca for $349 last year. The problem is that I bought my previous 36 sets from TRU for a nice sale price. This is the problem with many who can't stomach paying MSRP prices. Imagine paying MSRP prices for the Wolverine Chopper with deadpool or Antman sets. As I mentioned before, the Maze and IR sets are still available but oos in every other country except Canada. Great investments and guaranteed profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
