baschloinka Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 1 hour ago, Phil B said: Are there any interesting promotions (i.e. GWP) happening at TRU over the next 3 weeks? I'm think about using my 20% off coupon on an Ecto-1, but with TRU's markup I need a bit more incentive than just the coupon (which would get the price down to $48 only). Of course I could look into buying something else at LEGO Shop at Home together with the ecto-1 to get a Fountain promo, but I have no current set needs .... I don't know the timeline for FOG, but that is a possibility. (#5004406). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first signed up at TRU, I opted "in" for all the catalogs, emails, etc. I started getting catalogs (but no coupons) for several months. I thought it was maybe a store level / regional decision on who gets coupons, based on zip code, or whatever. Following advice I got here, I called customer service and reconfirmed that I wanted all the promos, coupons, etc, that I could get. A little while later, I started to receive coupons on my catalogs. Not sure if they really responded to my call, or if timing was just coincidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

En passant, the Highlander stopped receiving illegal shipments of candy at the same time ... two mysteries solved at once. Another day, another dollar for Ace Brickman, P.I.

Store had 3 minty fresh SOHs (for RRP) and 3 minty fresh Council of Elrond ($20 clearance), that were not there last week. I think they are clearing out the warehouses. I found some old ninjago stuff that had disappeared months ago too. Guess I should have looked closer for other sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it constitutes a restock, but my nearest TRU has had it in a clearance bin for over a month. Also can confirm I saw it yesterday at a different TRU on the shelf also for clearance pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 They are clearance priced at my TRU, but they were missing for a month or more and now they're back, but still commingled with other Super Heroes sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock had dwindled but now there are two fully deep rows at both of the stores that I visited yesterday.

Bat man Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 So this is kind of crappy, but I think someone stole my TRU 20% for this month. Still haven't received it. In the past it's been hit or miss, like 3 months in a row it'll come then one month is wont. I just discovered people sell these things on eBay?
