Pseudoty Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 My TRU was on the original closing list they got an email today closing was moved up to 4/11/18. All lego is now 50% off. Mostly brickheadz, polys and some duplo. Someone got all the angry birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 i still don't believe they closed the web site. makes no sense. isn't it cheaper to sell online than physical stores despite the IT costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazuli16 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I imagine the online inventory is probably going to be sold to liquidators or auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone gotten a shipment notification from them since they stopped taking orders? I have a small order from 03/24 that's still sitting there. If they are not going to fulfill the order they should tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I placed a order two weeks ago, got a delay notification this past Friday, and a shipping notice today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 TRU Not in a rush, still 5% on LEGO a week and a half in. I figured they would do incremental mark downs each week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, everything is that damn 5% off, and just not interesting at all. 3 hours ago, jaisonline said: i still don't believe they closed the web site. makes no sense. isn't it cheaper to sell online than physical stores despite the IT costs? That would make sense, but of course, they aren't really making sense. Maybe LEGO took over their website. 2 hours ago, jbacunn said: Has anyone gotten a shipment notification from them since they stopped taking orders?

I called and raised a storm. Don't know that it did anything, but it's since been shipped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepyD Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 So what number has everyone used to contact about orders? Or did they shutdown the call system this weekend? I have tried multiple times and it says "Sorry call back between 8am and 11 pm 7 days a week" when it is clearly between those times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to wait on hold for an hour, but did talk to someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbacunn Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 My order from 3/24 shipped today so it looks like they are working through the backlog of orders which I give them credit for doing. Have to imagine people are bailing in the warehouse for other jobs. Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker Forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealinator Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I stopped at our TRU yesterday. I couldn't believe how many cars were in the parking lot, however as I was walking up to the door, I passed 3 families who didn't have any items purchased. 5% off almost everything. One lady said "Why would I buy anything? Walmart's normal prices are cheaper than this stuff." Soooo, we wait. The lego aisles were still full of lego 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepyD Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I ended up getting in touch over the phone about an old order, was told they are pushing to clear the system of backdue orders as they know they have to honor the Gift Card purchases by the 4/21 date. The woman helping me talked about the closing and you could tell it got her a little upset, but I will say she was great so at least they still have some good people helping out.

DarthOsiris Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Went to a couple TRU in Denver this week and 5% is all they are offering. And the Lego shelves were mostly bare. The psychology of a going out of business sale seems to be overtaking people's ability to comparison shop. WM and Amazon have better deals.Sent from my SM-G950U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G950U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app I agree. I think people are going in for kicks, expecting to see massive discounts and leaving with nothing. From what I've witnessed, only crap that nobody wanted was left. Anything good was removed from the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lego_Monsters Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 The TRU I go to has sets from 40-75% off. Most are cleaned out, but managed to grab these today. Will probably take a while for your stores to go from 5% to 50%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lego_Monsters Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Up to 90% off today, of course all the Legos are gone by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 There were big banners outside one of my stores last week that said 30% off, of course pretty much everything was still 10% off in the store and LEGO was 5%. They had restocked quite a few things since they are emptying the warehouses now. Does anyone know when they are going to bump up the percentage off or is it on a store by store basis?

Just a guess, but I think the stores that are in that 90% mode now are the ones that were on the original store closing list. The stores that have the 5% off LEGO are the ones (I believe), that were "the rest" of the stores that are closing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) Right. That's what I thought. I suppose I was expecting to see the second wave of stores move from 10-30-50-70-90, yet most everything was still 10% as of last week. There was still a lot of products on the shelves and they were still restocking so I was surprised they haven't made additional markdowns yet.

Dealinator Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Did anyone find legos at 10% off that were 5% off last week? Are things starting to progress, or are we in holding pattern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman720 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Stopped by today and the entire store was 50% off except LEGO which was at 20% off. Funny thing is the only set I could find was the the nexo knights blue castle for $119ish. I think they had the regular price around 150. I also found some DJ mini figures.
