peenutz Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Alright... I'm really hoping to get a few likes for this one... I was disappointed with the TRU.ca sale, so I decided to roam the net, and I happened upon this site... http://www.playvaluetoys.com/ They have the rover available (limit 12 per customer), at 34.99 each. On top of that, they still have Uruk-Hai Armies, Helm's Deeps, Two-Face Chase and a bunch of older SW and POTC sets plus much more! Must check out! Most things are MSRP, but worth it for sets that have long disappeared! Free shipping in Canada with $75 purchase. They ship to US too! 7 Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 If you are able to go to their shop, buy 12 Return and buy 12 more wearing a hat Return and buy 12 more wearing a moustache Return and buy 12 more wearing glasses Return and buy 12 more wearing a long blonde wig Return and buy 12 more dressed as a woman I wouldn't bother with anything else as these are going to be hot.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Thanks but, don't hang about as a colleague in Toronto has just ordered 12 for me that he'll bring to bring to a London meeting in June as "gifts" for a school raffle (I'll donate 2 of them). Also I have to call someone in Calgary and Vancouver this afternoon UK time. I knew my ex-Air Canada buddies would come in useful. ;-) Quote
marcandre Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Shipping to the states for one is 24.95, says limit one per order. I am able to put 12 in my cart, 499.83 CAD total, probably a good bet. 500 CAD is about 456 USD. Quote
Veegs Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 I've ordered from them multiple times...great packaging, fast shipping (at least in Ontario) and no issues thus far. Order with confidence! Quote
marcandre Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 They have the unimog for 250 CAD. Prob too much with shipping to the states unless you missed out on it. Ordered 12 rovers, just hoping it goes through. This has made me spend $500 before 8am and late for work. Thanks OP Quote
Sandwraith Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Great place to order from, just wish i lived closer to Ottawa to benefit from all their in-store only sales they've been having these past few weeks Quote
marcandre Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Heartlake Stables in stock there, one of the Dino sets too. Quote
Sandwraith Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Limit lowered to 1 today, wonder if they saw in influx in orders and decided to lower it again. (started at 1, went to 3, and then once they got a another shipment of 99+ raised it to 12). Quote
waddamon Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 It let me order 12, we'll see if it ships. If not oh well. Quote
Migration Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 How are we just hearing about this? I can understand if they just got some rovers in, but Helms Deep, Two Face Chase? Quote
holleman67 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Good find for those who got them. I would buy if there was more than one but $25 shipping to us is steep for me Quote
fatboycarney Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 so put 1 order in with 1 Rover and a couple other sets to get free shipping Canada. Noticed others were getting larger orders to go through so put one in for 3 more rovers. It was just refunded. First order with 1 rover is waiting fullfillment Quote
Jimking23 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 My order for 4 rovers was refunded. Can't justify ordering 1 with the shipping costs. Quote
shootyb Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 My order of 10 was immediately refunded. They still have Atlantis and Alien Conquest listed; did they stop updating their website in 2011? Quote
holleman67 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 You guys made me buy some off bl in fear I'd miss out of getting more. I hope this doesn't come back arty LEGO Shop at Home Quote
marcandre Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Mine was cancelled too. Canada gives us Bieber but wont share its rovers?? Quote
holleman67 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Mine was cancelled too. Canada gives us Bieber but wont share its rovers?? Maybe canada is still bitter the us wont take beiber for good? Who knows Quote
isocleas Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Shipping is too much for it to be worth it for me, but a couple of worthwhile smaller sets I found are 8517 and 8519. They're going for $45+ on amazon so if you need to get over 75 for free shipping they'd make good filler. Quote
Veegs Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 My order of 10 was immediately refunded. They still have Atlantis and Alien Conquest listed; did they stop updating their website in 2011? I think this is where unpopular sets/themes go to die. They have plenty of old retired sets, but anything that takes off in value gets scooped up pretty quickly. They had some HP Castles at $169.99 long after EOL last year that I was still able to make money on. Once Helm's Deep is north of $200 on the 'bay, I'll bet their remaining stock gets depleted super fast. Quote
fxdl96 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 I tried to order some but they are already gone ;( Quote
Sandwraith Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 They added this in massive text to the listing haha: RARE ITEM. LIMIT 1 PER CUSTOMER. ORDERS WHICH EXCEED THIS LIMIT WILL BE CANCELLED. Guess they thought the previous fine print wasn't big enough! Find it odd they would sell out of their stock that quick with 1 per order, maybe they got frustrated by the influx of orders over 1 and pulled it from the store for now. They had 100+ just yesterday. Quote
