WTF is that?  Kudos to you, but what the f--- kind of inventory management / leakage / breakage is going on with TLG these days?  That's mind-boggling and a terrible indictment of their controls over distribution.  Thanks for sharing; eye-opening to be sure.

I tried to find a good .gif for "selling out the back door", but most of the hits returned were of Farrah Abraham.  Not the back door I was looking for...

This is ravenb99 we're talking about here. Stores get stuff FROM him

Does anyone know the 6 digit codes for each of these? Would help a lot for those who wanna go in and buy one. One single one. Not all of them!

Don’t worry. Even though the Batman set will be popular, these things will be at every TRU for at least a year.

Another reason TRU is going down the tubes. There’s a shelf full of last year’s (at full price) at all my TRUs.

Yup. Passing this year. $75 buy in is an insult. Just sayin'.

That’s the typical price though, isn’t it? Either way, it’s way too much for these. I’ll just wait.

Supposedly "only" $50 here in Sweden (which is unusual, we typically have a 1:1 match with USD buy-ins), but I don't know ... I guess Batman will be the only really popular one?

also available online or just an instore deal

It's always been in store only.

It sounds like it is starting 10/1 in the US, but I'll have additional details this afternoon.

Store told me 10/1 yesterday. They didn't have a flyer for me to see.

Not at my store. No sign of the promos anywhere either.

[Ayleux]

I went to go try yesterday. I tried to price correct some sets. I was told you can't price correct and get the promo. I didn't bother arguing. The cost of paying full price is more than what the poly will be worth on eBay.

any updates?

[Lordoflego]

Toysrus is still around. 

[minicoopers11]

My guess is people were mixing up other country's fliers.

Looks like last Sunday Bricktober event is a make-n-take BB-8. And LEGO coupons given out at every event (if I read correctly). Made a reservation for every event just in case. 

A calendar would have been nice, TRU....like last year?! Gotta say I appreciate the lower price point, though.

I think we expect it to be week 2.

[thoroakenfelder]

are any of the Ninjago figures new or unique?

[donbee]

Only BB8 is take home and in a Saturday, but other little freebies on Sundays.
First Sunday also gets a limited coupon. I imagine Ninjago sets. I imagine the current 20% off sale will end by then.
But who knows?!

They all look new and unique to me.

The event details on the reservation website interestingly mention coupons for the last 3 events, but not the first.
