[USA] Series 6 Minifigures Available Online at TRU

Post by Zeya » Wed Jan 11, 2012 8:58 am

You can now order the series 6 packets online from Toys R Us. It's in stock for shipping. The bad news is that they're charging $3.50 when MSRP is $2.99.

I'm not seeing that when I put them in my cart. I'm not so sure they're doing that this time around.

EDIT: I'm wrong here. Read next post below...

Oh I see what you mean now. If you buy exactly 15, then that is the threshold to trigger $10 off the order, which brings the unit price down to 2.83. *forehead slap*

The terms and conditions of these kinds of sales usually state that the discount will be deducted from one item. So, if you order 15 minifigs, you get one free minifig. You only get the full $10 off if you have an item in your cart that is at least $10. For this promotion, when I add 15 to my cart, it gives me one free one, and 14 at $3.49.

Just ordered 12 of these and LEGO Super Heroes The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape (6857) to get free shipping. It is listed at 44.99, but with the coupon it will drop it to 34.99. Then I can always return the 12 that I get......

Confirmed. They do either $10 off your highest-priced item or the full price off your highest priced item if it costs less than $10. Bummer. :-|

Beware! If you return the 12 packets, they will deduct that $10 from the return value. Trust me on this. If you do a partial return with these types of sales, they won't let you keep that extra savings money.

If I did 10, then my total would be 51.99. Probably better to do it that way. I don't like to return things, but Toysrus jacks up the prices anyway.

Wow what an annoying way to run the $10 off $50! So since someone wants a bunch of smaller $ items, the discount doesn't apply in full, that is just frustrating. I'm hating TRU more and more everyday!

The "nicer" way to run it is to give $10 off $50 and just prorate the $10 over the entire purchase, so if you return something you don't forfeit the full $10. Anyway, TRU must be catching on on how to drive away customers or something!

I don't forsee me buying much from TRU in the future.

Unfortunately, savvy LEGO collectors are probably a slim minority in TRU's clientele. They are driving away customers but just the smart, bargain-hunting or at least value-conscious shoppers. They still have more naive customers that are easily duped by sale signs and inflated prices, willing to hand of wads of cash in order to appease their screaming children; these folks probably create a bigger chunk of their revenue. They can afford to lose customers like us.. hopefully LEGO doesn't take on the same philosophy or other retailers like Target capture a bigger piece of the market and start offering a larger selection of LEGO at retail or sale prices. Boo, TRU.

Has anyone found the series 6 minifigs in their local TRU? I don't live near a LEGO store, and I'm starting to think it might be worth it to move closer to one :)

My local store had some yesterday, my wife was able to get 6 of them. But they were sold out very quickly after putting them out on the floor, and I dont live in a major city (Santa Rosa, CA). We got 2 genies, a highland battler, roman soldier, minotaur and a leprachaun. Anyone wanna trade for the Genie? LoL.

Has anyone seen series 6 CMFs in any TRU in Southern California? Between my boyfriend and I, we still have wads of TRU rewards to burn through

No S6 minifigs, no Dino, no City Forest, etc. Just jacked up prices. I feel bad for those who don't have too many options, but I agree - B OOOOOO - TRU!!!!
