shaka Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 25% off lego at TRU, unfortunately the SSD is out of stock! Quote
stinger-311 Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 beat me too it shaka. Some decent deals to be found if you are a wise shopper. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Is this only in certain regions? Quote
stinger-311 Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Yep Aussie wide online and in store. Quote
stinger-311 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Did you score any good deals Shaka? I got 3 x Hobbit Barrel escape for $52 (TRU exclusive) 2 x Republic attack gunships for $120 (TRU had listed price @160 not 180 which it should be). There pricing was weird as some were below retail (before discount) yet some were over, I could not make any sense out of it. One thing I did notice no 1st wave LOTR sets, just the 3 new ones. Quote
Majellan Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 The ssd sold out so quickly, first day Still there are some good deals, one thing TRU likes to do is reduce their regular price on older sets to get rid of them. TRU Australia seems to have much more reasonable prices that what you hear of the US TRU. Incredibly my store still had some lotr Attack on Weathertop's which had been marked down to $62 plus the 25% discount!! Pretty happy with that I also picked up a barrel escape and for some reason I got some architecture villa savoys. I have a gut feeling that this set will we worth quite a bit come EOL. ( let's hope) Sadly there were no batman funhouse escapes. I also saw my store has an incredible 25 Jabbas palaces. Hoping they are seriously reduced to 100 Quote
stinger-311 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 You did well I was hoping for some LOTR sets, mine had the Mill POC 4183, which I thought was weird. Quote
TheDarkness Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 I picked up barrel escape. They also had weathertop discounted heavily here and if I didn't have a stack of Jabbas Palace and T-Rex sets to take home I would have scored more. They still had Whitecap Bay and a Dino set here at Tea Tree Plaza Quote

Not yet i'm on a tight budget.....i got a two year old and another one on the way so my lego spending is constrained. i'm planning on getting one large set by the end of this year which is either going to be SSD or the TB.

TheDarkness Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 I had to go back and get the Dino Ocean Interceptor from TRU. $41 apiece for an exclusive, discontinued theme is leaving money in the table. Quote
Majellan Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 I was of two minds whether to pick up the dino set, my store had the ocean inteceptor too Quote
ausleigh Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 I hit my local TRU over the weekend and, using the comments here, picked up some Weathertop (4) and Ocean Interceptor (2). Both stores I have ready access to had more of each... Debating picking up more (says the guy who doesn't want to become a Lego investor!) Quote
particularbrick Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Managed to get one of the last SSD in store and also battle of Hoth plus dynamic duo funhouse! Quote
kishidan69 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Time now is 3pm EST, if anyone's still debating about the dino ocean interceptor set, have a look on TRU online now, going for less than half price at $24.99. Haven't checked in store whether they offer the same price, will post again when I do. toysrus.com.au 1 Quote
kishidan69 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Checked in store, Dino ocean interceptor also on clearance at $24.99, however none on the shelves. Quote
ausleigh Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I see they are also sold out online, too (I bought four). Will be at a local shopping centre tomorrow to check out Myer. May call by Toys R Us, too, though I have blown through so much money since joining up here, I really need to take a break But damn if it ain't fun! Quote
TheDarkness Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Fingers crossed TRU actually ship them out Quote
ausleigh Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Yeah, I guess there is that. So far orders have shipped, but we'll see. Kind of good if not...one charge that won't hit my card Quote
TheDarkness Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Well it has to be better than TRU US. A discontinued item at over 50% off? No brainer and worth taking the financial hit ( though at $25 per not much of a hit) I am really hoping they post out my order. I was happy to buy some at $41 a few weeks ago and I don't have a TRU to pick sets up from. Quote
ausleigh Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 When did you order yours? Just curious, no need answer. Hope we both get our orders filled. I picked up a couple during the 25% off sale, too. I guess I'll make a point of picking up any that may be in the local TRU store when I'm there tomorrow. Although when there last, I think there may have only been one left, and that was two weeks back. We'll see. Quote
TheDarkness Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Placed it yesterday morning so it should be good. I have a heap of Lego coming in from DJs, Myer and TRU soon. Quote
TheDarkness Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 So much for being good. Cancellation email tonight from them Just as useless here as they are overseas Quote
ausleigh Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Got the same e-mail - unable to fulfil the order, so cancelled. Quote
ausleigh Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 No Dino's at my local TRU. And no Opera Houses at the Myer. Will hit other ones over the weekend and see if I have any better luck. Quote
