[US] Toys Я Us Deals

Final_Sign

Just went to TRU in Lexington KY and they had free Ninjago flyer with $50 purchase and plenty of them in the store.  Free batmobile poly with $30 purchase but nobody knew where they were and I couldn't find them.  They had 2 for $5 on the CMF and I found two boxes up by the register but only an empty box back with the legos.  I also found 3 chicken suit guys on the shelf after asking several employees who had no idea where they might be.

Signs for Batmobile in Milford, CT, but none to be had. 2/$5 minifigs, got all 21 they had. The 2/$5 is posted on the website as "in store only" on all blind bags, not just LEGO.

JooTog

I got the Batmobile. As others indicated, signs allover but no polybag on sight. I asked and was told that they had them at the cash register (the sign said otherwise) and just bring the $30 worth of LEGO to checkout.

They have 20% off on all LEGO City Fire and some Duplo that I did not paid attention to.

A few other specific sets were also 20% off: a couple of Jurassic World sets (75915 and 75917) and a big LEGO City Deep See Explorers (either 60095 or 60096, do not remember).

SprinkleOtter

My TRU didn't have any idea about the batmobile. Is there an ad somewhere or something?

The Toys 'R Us in Oxon Hill, MD was the only TRU near me that had minifigures in stock.  They refused to honor the 2 for $5 deal.  Not sure if that's normal operating procedure for the express stores.  I was able to get 2 of them there at the sale price by ordering online and doing store pickup.  If I wanted to be obnoxious I could do it over and over again, but ain't nobody got time fo dat.

I have not seen an ad for it; I found out about it here in the forums and decided to stop by this morning. The store has the typical little white paper signs with the offer.

Has anyone experienced a successful stacking of offers, like acquiring two promos at the same time?

This past week they had a City promo if $35 City items were purchased and free Ninjago flyer if $50 Lego items were purchased.

Could someone really have gotten both?

SprinkleOtter

^ Yep.

One of my local TRUs had a side hanger filled with Batmobile polys at $3.99 each.  This was at Eastgate Mall near Batavia, Ohio.

Are you looking for a 20% off coupon?

Florence, SC had plenty of Batmobile polys on the rack. No limit and no promo.

too bad, I don't have the 20% off coupon  otherwise I would jump all over it

Oddly enough I was able to get both promos and picked up the new airport civil war set for 20% off. Ultimately I didn't expect to spend that much money today, but I can't imagine finding a better deal anytime soon. They had zero cmf, and 3 mixels, and their sign seemed to include them considering it was attached to the mixels price tag.

floridabrick

I've got a 20% off coupon I would trade for a sealed Airjitzu flyer, if anyone's interested.

77ncaachamps

CMFs don't count toward promos as they are not "sets" as I was told by my TRU associate

SprinkleOtter

^ Every TRU is different.

madforLEGO

Yeah TRUs, and their local store management decisions, are like a box of chocolates...

Yeah, except chocolate usually leaves a better taste in my mouth than experiences at TRU.

Palace Cinema is $142, ship to home, and the airjitzu spinner

GIR3691

Out of stock.

madforLEGO

I cannot find the LEGO Palace Cinema online when I search for it at TRU.com. Is there some kind of trick to find the mods online that I'm missing?

busumoe1

Not sure if it's a new promotion today but many items are 20% off RRP online on TRU.  The ones that stood out to me are the Technic sets.  I think the previous 20% deal was in-store only. 

I added the Airjitzu without a problem.

TheLoneTensor

Of course they do this before the bucket wheel excavator comes out :(

Btw, if you're sitting on the fence for some Technic coolness, the #42042 Crawler Crane is a very, very nice set.  Granted, it was released in the shadow of the monstrous #42030, but don't be distracted, as this thing is a flagship-caliber model on par with the #8043 Motorized Excavator.  Plus, it's got one of the best B-models ever.  $120 during the sale is a great price for this.

pharmjod

You can save a little more money ordering the #42042 from Amazon.de right now. Comes out to $114 shipped for me, so about $13 savings when you factor tax. It looks like a cool set, but I'm still on the fence about it. I like Technic and have most of the flagship sets from the last few years. I'm approaching the too much level though for LEGO and am trying to decide what to cut. 

ColoradoBricks

I used to buy a lot from Amazon UK/DE until I ordered #42042 last July (ordered from UK came from DE)

One corner had a hole the size of a fist, big enough for bags to come out so I returned it. It was my only bad experience but the return process was not the easiest as they would only pay me $4.75 to ship it back. In the end they paid the full amount and I shipped it in a box.

Before that day, I used to received my sets ordered from Europe within 3 days and without a scratch...

pharmjod

Typically when I order from Amazon.de I order the limit (3 usually) so I've never had an issue with sets arriving like that, but I understand your point and I'd be gunshy as well if I had a set arrive in that condition.

Just picked up a Benny's Spaceship at TRU for $53.  Lots of other sets on sale for around 40%.

And they still have a free Airjitsu spinner with orders over $50.  At least online it was still live this morning.  You need to manually add to your cart.

ReesesPieces

The 40% deal is online as well and includes the free spinjitsu as mentioned by goshe7.  Some notables are ...
Hydra fortress smash (toy r us exclusive) ... $26
bikeshop ... $60
Benny' spaceship ...$53
Ninjago showdown dojo (toys exclusive) ...$16

ReesesPieces

Milano ... $48
arctic base camp...$60

DOH missed out on the #31026 being 60... I got a few previously at around 60-65, but had TRU bucks to spend as well as a gift card I got for 15% off.
Here is the link to the 40% off list

I think they were gone almost immediately. They showed available for ship to home earlier this morning but wouldn't let you add them to the cart. There are no stores within a 50 mile radius of me with stock either. 

I wanted at least one more of them for a parts pack since I only bought one during the Amazon sale. 

madforLEGO

Yeah, thinking about making a run to my local TRUS anyway, becasue Im not sure how accurate the ship to store has been lately. Just hope they show as on sale at the store.

KingAlanI

A whole bunch of stuff 20% or 40% off as well as CMF's being 2 for $5 in store. I'm not particularly interested in the 20 or 40 items, but I might pay a visit for the minis. Next chance I have is Tuesday.

Missed this part.  Now they are telling me I am SoL. 

77ncaachamps

It's weird. I only had two choices of Airjitsu spinners available to me online, but when I went to TRU to pick it up, I clearly saw more choices on the shelf.

So I'm looking online to some to add to my cart, but it shows all are sold out.

I'm gonna have to stop by the TRU just to ensure the deal.

monstblitz

Customer service gave me a $10 appeasement promotion for missing out on spinner.  I ordered another one of the sets that were on sale with that and went to my local TRU where I was able to get the bike shop / cafe for $59.99 and get the spinner so alls well that ends well.

Picked the SSS here too. Was able to get an override to use my 20% off a single item coupon. Also picked up a free Airjitzu after I 'let' my son pick up the $10 baby dragon Elves set to hit $50. Not too shabby for $52 + tax.

GIR3691

Tried to get a #76041, but once I submitted the order it changed to out of stock for store pickup. That was a waste of 15 minutes.

I was able to get an order in for some Hydra Fortress Smash and Bike Shop around 8am EST.

Yeah, missed out on the bike shops online.. not thrilled about that. A store by me looked like they had some recently (as the sticker is there) but all were gone, so got a bit skunked.

KingAlanI

At 2 for $5, it seems I should get as many CMFs as possible. Any I should pick if I can't afford them all?

SumoLego

It is a really good deal.

malachirobertson

I got tired of waiting for my TRU to restock the minifigures.  I went to Target and got a price match.  TRU has the sale item listed this week in the on-line version of their weekly ad.
