RXBandit Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 i just got back from Toys R Us in Paramus, NJ, just over the George Washington Bridge from Manhattan, anyway, they have the Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser on sale there for $80. i just bought the $80 Ferrari Transport Truck the other day or i woulda picked it up immediately. unfortunately they only had one left, so i wonder if this sale is goin on everywhere. anyone else seen it at their local TRU? (sorry if this is the wrong place to put this thread).
Big Cam Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 I saw another post about the Toys R Us in Canada having a sale, but I know the Home One has been on sale in the US for $80 multiple times.
Ricecracker Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Depends what you mean by everywhere. If you're talking about everywhere in the US, I'd assume so, but if you are talking about worldwide, then I can confirm, that no, in fact, it isn't happening everywhere. I saw another post about the Toys R Us in Canada having a sale... Yup, BOGO 1/2 off for all Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Power Miners sets.
RXBandit Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 by "everywhere" i actually meant North America. i'm gonna have to pick this up asap. if it's been on sale before i'm sorry for not knowing, i've only come back to Lego in the last 6 weeks. maybe i'll actually just wait and get this when i go back to Saskatchewan.
Siegfried Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 by "everywhere" i actually meant North America. ...and for that reason this topic belongs in sales, not the Star Wars forum. I'll move it now.
BlueDragonZ Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Probably only that specific store in US is having a sale. Toysrus Canada is having BOGO 1/2 price.
RXBandit Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 ...and for that reason this topic belongs in sales, not the Star Wars forum. I'll move it now. i'm really sorry dude, i need to learn this site a lot better. i really don't have an excuse as i'm a mod (and former admin) over at Kraytracker.com. for what it's worth i really looked around and actually thought this was the place to go haha. do TRU's in the US ever have buy one get one half off sales? cause that sounds incredible. maybe i gotta make my way up to Saskatoon even faster.

Actually, Toysrus in US gets even better deals. You guys get something like Buy 2 get 1 free which works out to be max savings of 33% off where as we only get 25% off.
AMuller396 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) Just came back from a TRU in Culver City, Los Angeles CA. Home One are 25% off right now till the 12th of February. According to the Lady its a discontinued item for TRU, so I guess they will stop selling them at the store but continue selling them online. Edited February 10, 2010 by AMuller396
Clone OPatra Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 You guys get something like Buy 2 get 1 free which works out to be max savings of 33% off where as we only get 25% off. Where'd you get that info? I live in the U.S. and I've never seen or heard of that deal. Even on the Sunday after Black Friday it was only buy 1 get one %50 off, and not even on SW. Interesting that the Home One would be a discontinued item. Last time I was in a TRU near me they had loads of the set, away on its own shelf not right by the LEGO section.

Even on the Sunday after Black Friday it was only buy 1 get one %50 off, and not even on SW. From my records... ToysRUs US has BOGO 1/2 price from November 29 - December 3 / 2009 The sale did not include Star Wars, but a glitch on their site allowed buyers to get the Star Wars deal. However, it was fixed shortly 1-2 days later. They also had a Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale from September 20-26 / 2009 The sale did not include Star Wars once again, but like the sale above, there was glitch and allowed buyers to get Star Wars at discounted rate for 1-2 days. Kmart although lacks a selection also had Buy 2 Get 1 Free during black friday. Interesting that the Home One would be a discontinued item. Last time I was in a TRU near me they had loads of the set, away on its own shelf not right by the LEGO section. The Home One won't be discontinued till the end of the year. The same goes for the Janaury 2009 sets and Count Dooku Solar Sailer. However, Republic Attack Gunship & At-te ends its life during mid 2010 around summer. Hope this helps
Clone OPatra Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 From my records... Thanks for the info. You know what, I read your last post wrong and thought you said we get Buy 1 get 1 free sales, which I'd never heard of. I see now you said buy 2 get one free (although I don't remember being in a store when that was in effect, either). Buying online from TRU is just silly, even with a sale going on, in the U.S. anyway. You already have to pay their jacked up prices, and then pretty bad shipping and tax as well! Might as well just go to the store and save on the shipping.
Big Cam Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 It throws me off how Toys R US has the Home one on sale for 33% off almost all the time. I'm up to 3 sets now, because everytime I walk in that store, it's on sale, even if nothing else is.

Ya but sometimes they might get free shipping like now at toysrus canada during the middle of the sale... They have free shipping over $49.99. Kinda frustrates me as they didn't do it at the begining of the sale. It throws me off how Toys R US has the Home one on sale for 33% off almost all the time. I'm up to 3 sets now, because everytime I walk in that store, it's on sale, even if nothing else is. You guys are lucky..There's still some leftover Christmas mini creator sets for half prices here.
