9526 - Palpatine's Arrest

[Diabolos80]

21 sealed sets were newly listed on ebay today...

Well, investors may not have thought they were popular, but shoppers sure did. The 2 "Full" Toys R Us in my area sold out of them. I purchased two. One had a beat up box though, so I will hope to exchange when they get more.

 

One interesting note: At "Toys R Us Express" (The ones in the mall) They don't give out gift cards, like with this $10 gift card offer. So they instead lowered the price $10, so I got it for $50. Preferable for me anyway.

Dang,  I wish I had known that.  Ya cash in hand is always better than a GC

Most TRU had the shelves empty and were not re-stocking from what three store clerks told me. Should be interesting, but I took most advise from others on here and only purchased two.

Just a heads up, TRU is offering Palpatine's Arrest free with any 'Hard to Find' purchase.  That's SSD, Death Star, new X-Wing UCS and R2-D2.

[cvail8]

To clarify, any STAR WARS hard to find purchase. And it's online only.

 

R2-D2 is out of stock.

 

FAO Schwarz has the same deal and they have Ewok Village for $270.

Think Target or Amazon would somehow compete?

Doubt it. They didn't on the Highway Pickup deal.

Just grabbed an x wing, thx for the heads up. This is better than any black fri deal I saw.

[Anakinisvader]

Holy schnikies how many boxes of Palpatine's arrest does TRU have?  This thing is sold out and comes back more than Brett Favre and Michael Jordans multiple retirings added together.

Is there an affiliate link for this deal? I didn't see it on the daily deal thread

Thanks... Just wanted to try to get the site some $$

In for an X-wing with the 10% TRU card.

TRU doesn't want affiliates, that's why we really don't promote their products.  We let members do so as a courtesy.

I just got an x wing as well and used my 10% November promo gift card. This sold out super fast the last time they ran this promo with the free set.

Is that the weekly instore promo for CC? Or is there another promo today? my TRU doesn't carry an UCS instore :-(

It was the bonus gift card that they gave out that had a value of 10% of your November. It was a rewards members promo. Spend up to $1000 in November and they gave 10% back on te promo gift card.

I don't really like either set for building, or investing...but bought anyways. Sell the arrest for 40 bucks, get the wing for 160--and another 10 back as I put this on my wish list---so 150 isn't a bad entry point. I do like the box, so I'll display it sealed until I can sell it for a profit--3 years to stare at a box....in hopes of a $250 sale in 3 years...possibly. Unless this one stays for 5 years.

So this is what they call buyers remorse?

Toys R Us doesn't want affiliates yet I can't have a single commercial break without one of their damn commercials going on about how 'fantastic' their 'sales' and 'deals' are (and I wasn't even on the Cartoon Network channel).

Same here. I get that commercial no matter which channel I am on. Plus, there sales and deals are not fantastic. They are the opposite of fantastic.

Did you already have the xwing on a wishlist? If not you most likely won't get the giftcard. The promo is only supposed to work with wishlists made before the 28th.
