exciter1 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 2 minutes ago, jonnyhanukkah said: Here's a weird one - the Toys R Us near me shows that the Slave 1 is in stock there. I'd like to buy it and use up my 20% unique coupon code but when I went to the store they said "if it's not on the shelf then we don't have it." I tried to press them saying it's available for in store pick up but they didn't really do more than a cursory check of the stock room. Should I go ahead and try to place the order for in store pick up and see what happens? The problem is that if I do that, then I can't use the coupon because it requires that I pay in full online before completing the order. I actually heard this enough that I stopped asking. The manager of the store for that matter. He/She would say what's on the floor is what we have. I would tell them they must have took them in the back, since there was a pile of them out yesterday. They'd say no and then all of them would show up again on the shelves a month later. Maybe this should have been posted in the "I Love It" thread.

RobJoseph Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I just applied for the TRU cc online. After acceptance I printed out my cc info so I can go in store to use it today. It also gave me the 15% coupon. This is the way to go since my local store only gives 10% coupons when applying in store. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISO8T0 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I would have gone after the Titanium Dragon myself. But strong work combining the coupon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Kenxxx has a manager who likes them For those worried about it, the Body Board deal has apparently been changed to ANY $40 purchase in store. So you don't have to feel bad (Hah, like any of you would!). The store I was out was out of them however. I was actually scouting on Tuesday, and there were several of the 40% off sets still avail - today I go back in, and most of the stuff I wanted to combine with TRUTH were already gone, which was slightly annoying. Grabbed one more Hydra Smash, and a few of the Race Cars. They still had plenty promo polybags. For my 20% off coupon, if anyone cares, I grabbed a Darth Vader Tie/A-Wing. Yea, I know it's too early to start investing in those... But I'm a believer in this set. Never too early to start collecting I guess.

My cashier friend would've forced the coupon on whatever I brought to the counter. I felt kinda silly putting it this set for an extra $3... but my kid has been wanting this.

I picked it up the first TRUTH it appeared. I got lucky since the City Race Cars and Hydra Fortress didn't have signs in front of them. Used my last 2 coupons. Only 3 boogie boards were left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyhanukkah Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Finally signed up for the credit card and got 15% off in store. Ended up using my 20% on an Ecto 1 to stash away. Here's my first big TRUTH haul - 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyhanukkah Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Where's your free poly and bodyboard? I got one poly the day before and then they were all out the next day. Dunno what happened. Totally forgot the bodyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyhanukkah Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I can't believe your store still has Pirate Ship Ambush sets. They still have like 4 more but the boxes are pretty beat up. A lot of dents and creases and loose seals. Not sure if they're worth it for around $60 each. I guess maybe if I have time to part out I will go back and get the remaining. The manager told me I could only get 3 at a time and I didn't wanna press my luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 The manager told me I could only get 3 at a time and I didn't wanna press my luck. They have been sitting on these for years and they want to turn away the chance to be rid of them? Managers are so clueless sometimes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers are so clueless sometimes. Yeah, go figure. She had a bit of an attitude with me - it was about an hour before closing and I first asked her to see if she had any Slave 1s in store (because the in store pick up showed they were available). Then I asked if I could get a further discount if I purchased all 8 or 9 of the remaining Pirate Ships together and she said a bit rudely "no, we have limits to how many Lego sets you can buy. You can only buy 3." The Pirate Ships have been there for MONTHS. I stop into that Toys R us probably twice a month and always stop by to say hello to them. They only just in the last month put them on clearance at $69.98. Edited June 25, 2016 by jonnyhanukkah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salimr Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) I have a 20% off in store coupon I am not going to be able to use as it expires today and we got free tickets to a show in town which sounds better than a trip to the toy store. If anyone wants it and your toys r us will accept a photo of it or the code message me and I will send it to the first request I get. update- it's taken Edited June 25, 2016 by Salimr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lego Templar Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 How do you get these 20% off coupons? I never get any in the mail so I have to "sign up for this" or what? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbee Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 How do you get these 20% off coupons? I never get any in the mail so I have to "sign up for this" or what? Thanks In the mail. In an earlier post I showed the two different coupons. One sent to my mom that expires todayish. Another that I received. Which expires in July. I'm an award member, and my daughters birthday is this month. My mom isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobJoseph Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Last TRUTH was my first to use my cc and the given 15% off coupon. I scored big time. I got 2 Rey's Speeders, 2 xwings, and 2 MFs. One MF was a little damaged so I asked for a discount. The cashier said ok and proceeded to gave me a discount on ... every item. Not what I asked for but I'll take it. They forgot to give me the store 20% off on one speeder and one MF. I went back the next day to sort it out. Not sure what happened but these were my prices including tax. RS $14.05 and $11.24 Poe's xwing $59.73 X 2 MF $105.41 and $73.97 I used to hate TRU for there high prices. Now I see you can score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't change your disposition because of this score, simply because you most likely will not be able replicate this, or anyone else. Congrats on it though.

Deadfraggle Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Edited June 28, 2016 by Deadfraggle $10 off $75 = 13%. Maybe good if you can find a discounted mid priced set to stack with +/- other CC or GC discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
