Ricecracker Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 It's weird, but i haven't been getting my weekly TRU flyers lately.... Anyway, i just checked three of the TRUs across Toronto last Sunday, but they had no '09 sets yet. So i got the MM impulse . Also, the closest TRU to my house has been out of almost all LEGO for a few weeks, so my guess is that they were waiting to restock with items, including the '09 sets. I think i am just going to go on a shopping spree in Arlington, Massachusetts next week, when i meet one of the LEGO Master Model Builders, and visit the place where he works (i forget his name as of now). -Ricecracker

hewkii9 Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Awesome! I can't wait to get some Pirates with Christmas loot, arr avast Although this maybe ought to be in Buy, Sell, and Trade?
Tim Bit Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Sweet! I hope this means star wars sets will be there to. I don't want a repeat of '07
Snake...SNAKE...SNAAAAKE?! Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 i've waited for this news for a long time! Too bad we had to wait so long last year
GC8Monkey Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I was just in a Toys R Us here in Vancouver today and saw all of the sets that were pictured in the flyer aswell as the two pirates impulse sets, which I had to buy. I will agonizingly wait until boxing day and pick up the rest of the Pirates, hopefully on sale too.

I simply must have them but I don't want to make the trek to downtown to be disapointed.
winbrant Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Interestingly enough is that TRU is not having their usual 25% off all LEGO the week before Xmas I remember from working TRU 5 years ago (during the Xmas season) we were always told to keep new LEGO in the back until after Xmas so they wouldn't be available for purchase during this sale...that new LEGO would be for full MSRP after Xmas...I remember catching some new LEGO on Boxing Day at 25% off because they forgot to take down the signs! So, now, with 2009 LEGO being made available is the removal of this sale...Of course flyers are planned months in advance so TRU knew this was coming (and probably required due to low remaining 2008 stock) and they have to make as much as possible (MSRP+) now before everyone "tightens their belt" in the new year (due to the "current global economic crisis", the current "catch-all phrase" nowadays). Merry Xmas All and Happy Hunting and Building!
KimT Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Not really LEGO News or General Discussion, is it? I'll move this to the Buy/Sell/Trade/Finds forum instead. Feel free to continue this there
Da Death Star! Posted December 21, 2008 Author Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) Kay guys, I made a trip earlier today to TRU, and lo and behold, the 09 sets were there!I am now the proud owner of Soldiers Fort and the Asassin Droid BP . Other 09 sets that were there included at least 5 10th Anniversary Vaders Ties(Surprise,surprise ), and the Dump truck, Construction site, plus the 4WD with Horse Trailer from City. EDIT:There were some new Creator sets there too, but Bionifans are(Unfortunately)out of luck . -The guy whose name sounds like a DSS- UPDATE!(As of January 2nd,2009):I went to TRU just earlier today, and guess what was there?MORE 09 sets!I saw some bionicle sets(It was only the Glatorian, minus Malum and Skrall), and my freind SAID he saw some PM sets(He actually now has three of them). But I'm not sure. Oh, the rest of the Pirate sets were there too(Minus the Impulse sets). Please note that, even though its already 09, Canada usually gets the sets late(Like sometime in February or April). EDIT:There are Summer 09 sets at my local TRU, They had all the Castle and Agents 2.0 sets there, and had Gold Heist, Space Truck Getaway(SP III), and the Rock Wrecker(PM).
