Canadian Tire Clearance MADNESS!

[gravtation]

This morning 6:30 was able to complete 4 differents orders... And as I got to stores found more good lego that wasn't even advertised on special ... 

So to me : spend 200$ to get 50$ gc + canadian tire money cash back + lego half price .. Nothing can't beat that

[kd123]

Nothing?

Found a fix for the 404 error! When the url comes up in the address bar if you delete the 'p' after the item number it will load the product page and let you add to cart. I just put in four orders and have about 8 more to do, but thought I would spread the workaround first. I have a store near my father in law that has 8 Brick Bounties in stock!

Thanks for that tip, @Veegs!  I was wondering what the heck was going on.

[sqlplus]

Does not say when I checkout that I will have the 50$ coupon.  I am  204 before taxes.

Thanks Veggs, that works perfectly!

There doesn't seem to be enough stock to part out, I'm only finding low quantities (under 4)... so I'll let you guys have all the fun.

Edit: There seems to be good stuff at the Canadian Tire of Montreal Nord (6000 Henri-Bourassa).

Have a look at the Canadian Tire of Montreal Nord too. They had Train Stations at half price when I checked (online) a few minutes ago, among other things.

Oh, and let me know if you would like to come fill up your stock of shipping boxes.

They do have maybe 250 sets on hand not many on special and not many qty of each ... But they have a great slection, bought 6 bounty from that store 2 weeks ago at 85$ each ...

It's pretty sparse out West.  Best thing I've found so far are First Order Transports  for $54.99.  I don't have one for myself, so I might play Canadian Tire Online Stock roulette for a couple of those!

[kd123]

Thanks Veegs.  

I was able to get past the 404 but the add to cart button is missing lol.

 

 

[Veegs]

Well, my order cancelled rate was around 40%, but I put in enough orders that some good stuff came through. The eight Brick Bounties were the highlight, some Poe's Xwing at 50% off, Phantoms at 20% off, z-95s at 50% off, some Coast Guard 60014s and a couple trains all are 'available for pickup' this morning. Hopefully 7 or 8 cards come in the mail in a couple weeks (one order was part cancelled so not sure I'll get the promo card with it). I did get a bunch of cancelled orders, too, though. Ridiculous online stock system.

[flord]

I've had 3 orders cancelled from Canadian Tire this year. Their system is badly broken.

I hope my cargo train at 50% comes through. Ordered late last night.

I think Canadian Tire did not like our lego buying spree.  If you do search for the word lego on there website, does not work.

Ahh i thought it was just me! Couldn't for the life of me find any LEGO this morning.

[Codes]

Ha!  Hopefully this helps them to realise they need to keep better track of stock.  It wouldn't surprise me if this is the start of a "clean-up" of their inventory.  Hopefully it's back up in a couple of days, and the online inventory reflects the actual stock.

I picked one of these up at my local CT in New Brunswick Friday for $54.93 - a few stores in this area have them in stock.

So aside from veegs did anyone else get anything from Canadian tire online?  I still see a whole bunch of Lego items listed but when you add it to your cart it says item is discontinued.

I picked up a couple of  First Order Transports  for $54.99.  There were potentially a couple of interesting sets lingering around, but they were just too far away to justify.

[Thumper]

Was just to a local CT last evening (Ottawa), picking up more inventory bins since they are on sale again, noticed they've finally stocked the toy asiles - a full row of Lego! at least 5 separate endcaps had larger sets from last year on sale (just 20% off thou) but just one or two of each set - Construction site, Passenger/hauler train, Airport, crooks hidout&swamp station, city square etc.  none of the Starwars and recent sets were on sale but red-shirt girl said they would be next week for November.

Odd thing I noticed, there was a paper sign in the Christmas decoration section requesting people not to put up decorations until November 12th to support our vets & remembrance day - thought that was a nice gesture.

This trip was just to pick up another 25 or so shelf-bins for the sorted inventory using these:

http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/ziploc-large-rectangle-containers-2-pk-0535219p.html

 

For these smaller lots of parts I much prefer the older Glad 2L food saver bins, especially the Christmas ones in green and red (green for new parts red for used) but they don't seem to make them anymore.  Larger lot sizes of shelf bins I use the stackable Rubbermaid storage boxes - I get those from Home Hardware (they're a little bit more expensive but as far as I know they're the last Canadian home building store in existence so I like to use them when I can)

 

For larger long term storage I go with the Rubbermaid rough neck 140L hightops. (when they go on half price, I have 200 of them from the last move so I won't need more of those for awhile :-)

here's a look at my mess, abit unorganized as I was still moving in at the time - oh, please excuse the little orange car taking up half the picture, self-gift...
