So this is $104 at his TRU?  Because it's $139 at mine and $132 online.

It was 104 last week.  It's back up to the TRU inflated price point for this month.  Last month was the time to snag ISD's, AT-AT's, and Cantinas at TRU.

To me will be :

 

20%

15%

$10 off gift card over $50

$5 off $25 (dont know if it will stack, will try tonight)

and add some filler item since 1 coupon only work on 1 item only.

I don't think the GC coupons will stack. ymmv.

Perfect!  Thanks for the tip.  It was back to the inflated prices as of yesterday when I checked.  There's actually a lot of nice price drops right now.  Looks like all the Vader Boxes are back to at least decent discounts well below their RRP. Imperial Shuttle Tydirium is also at 87.99.  Jedi Duel at 72.99.

Is that in-store?

Yep, has to be done in the store.  But, you can sometimes get further discounts and at those prices, you won't lose a year from now on these sets.  It's truly YMMV.

You can stack 20% then 15% on the same item?

Haha Thanks. I figured.

I'm not sure you're going to get very far with the sale price.  If they're actually listing those as sale prices, you won't get any discount, minus the 10% TRUTH.  They won't apply any other discounts.  Unless you can talk a manager into over-riding the system.  Doubtful though.  I have the most awesome TRU peeps, from stocker to manager and they couldn't do anything.  In most instances, stacking discounts + TRUTH is better than a sale price.

Unless you price match online and use apple pay with discover to get 10%

At least the case for ISD at 104 last week

Price match stops your coupons dead.  But even if you get them to price adjust, it's still a sale price.  And for proof, they will need to see the price which will be in red, directly under the normal price in black with a line through it.  Then you're looking at sale price + 10% TRUTH or, as you pointed out, apple discover.

Right, since the end results are the same, To save my time and make the low pay part time TRU employee's life easier, I use the apple pay approach.

Especially if you want 20 ISD and 20 bricktober in a few days.

BTW you can still scan reward card and collect reward if you use app pay, don't forget that.

Until 11/21 you would also get the c3po poly for purchases > $40, but for which of those coupons do I need the TRU credit card to bring them to work?

[toni8284]

Ok. I tried tonight. 

Here's the catch.

You can have 20% and 15% on the same transaction but not the same item. BUT you can NOT stack the $xx of $xx coupon to the same transaction.

So the best bet will be 2 legos and use 20% and 15% in 1 transaction.

I can use the $15 off $100 on Dimensions pack, but no other coupons.

and yes, I buy 12 3-CPO and get 1 FREE.

 

I tried use the $15 off $100 even after my discounted lego (1 with 20% and 1 with 15%) are over $100, the system will throw you an error saying no enough amount.

I tired used the $5 off $25 even after my discounted lego (1 with 20% and 1 with 15%) are over $25, the system flag the coupon as OFFLINE, I have no idea what that means.

In Oct, we can have $5 of $25, 20% and 20% on the same transaction, but in Nov, that's the case anymore. 

It still can be done, but need manager override, so I tell them remove the $xx off $xx coupon, and everything works.

Hope it helps.

[Loghamel]

Thanks for the info.  I was really hoping to stack the 20% and 15% on one item, but haven't found a way to get it done yet.

Edit:  Mean to mention; my TRU which usually doesn't care to sell as many of an item as you want to buy has a 2 per customer limit on the C3PO.  The other 2 TRUs around me won't sell any until after the promotion ends, 11/21.

They either stack or they don't . Anything else require a sweet smile and a wink

Well, that might work.  There's a cute Hispanic manager that comes in after 2:00 most days that really treats me well.  She's one of those that will let me order something online, pay for it in store, and do my coupon magic.  Oh, and it ships to my house free.  I'm going to go in tomorrow evening and see what I can pull off.

Might I suggest you be extra careful about what you pull off?

can you confirm that the coupon images you posted above do work?

[toni8284]

Yes. They all works. I tried all yesterday.

[brad4815]

Apologies for the noob-ish question. If I sign up for the TRU credit card, how do I get the initial 15% discount? Do I have to sign up/apply when making my purchase? And does the 15% stack with coupons used on the purchase?
