baschloinka Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 A great day at TRUTH! Was able to snag two Wall-E's early for an average price of $49.35 using a $10 reward, 20% off one regularly priced item, and TRUTH 10% off. I'll probably sell one and build the other.Then, I found 3 Galaxy Squad Galaxy Vaporizers (506 piece set) for $18.27 a piece. That was too good a price to leave them on the shelf. Maybe now I have a good starting point for a Shiptember build on the cheap!They would not sell Wall-E to me today. Said street date was 9/1 and they had no way of overriding. Hopefully they don't bump up from MSRP before next Thursday. The coupon isn't as good, but I can still make it a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baschloinka Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I was tempted to try for a Wall-E, but only had one coupon and I used it on something with more bang for the buck return. As I am awaiting the 7-10 day period for TRU to sort out one of the mysteriously disappearing balance gift cards, my buck was limited today. If I'm not getting coupon + TRUTH 10% + discounted gift cards, then I'm getting cheated at TRU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I specifically went out for Wall-E today because I cancelled my Amazon orders. 3 TRUs in SoCal all not showing any anywhere. I did manage to pick up a couple Ocean HQ and a couple birds and got lucky enough to use the 20% (didn't even bother with GC because SoCal ones are strict about that). I allmost got a LOTR Pirate Ambush but somebody beat me to it and grabbed it 1 second before me - what are the chances grr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolanfan34 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 $5 rewards, 10% TRU cc, and Raise GC for a Big Bang Theory today from TRU. Comes out to like $50 after WA state 9% tax. My mom loves the show and is coming to visit in a couple of weeks, so my son will build this with Grandma. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colossus Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Went to Legoland CA today and tried to grab the DS that I saw 3 days earlier but didn't have time to buy - sadly it was gone - but they will be getting some back on Monday.I did manage to score 2 79018 LMs that were on sale for $97.99 and got the 10% Merlin savings (they said 5% VIP couldn't be stacked on top) - came out to about $95 after tax which beat my TRUTH with 25% coupons - pretty happy with the 2 I got - now I won't feel guilty popping open a box.They had S14 polys but no Halloween sets. New TB boxes with the redesign was present. Plenty of SOH, PS, PC, EV, Sea Cow (all original design). No JW sets at all oddly.Raptor Escape huh. Idominus Rex what. Can't hear you over the fire breathing roar of Smaugasaurus! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried uploading them before and it just uploads as a pic haha I usually save the gif found on the internet to my computer then "choose files" when making a post and add it in. Another method I haven't tried but I believe you can copy a direct image link from giphy or wherever, click on "Insert other media" when making a post here, followed by "Insert image from URL", paste the image link in the empty text box there and finally click on "Insert into post". Everything willing it should work properly.Ain't that Summer from the OC?I think you are correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
