Re: TRU BOGF50% Harry Potter, SW, Creator and Duplo July 17-
finally! got 2 ds and 2 diagon alleys! wheee....
didn't even wait to find out how to stack this sale with the stupid free snowman or christmas tree. it seems to fail when you add to cart. wasn't going to lose out on the sale with the failure of the free offer.

Re: TRU BOGF50% Harry Potter, SW, Creator and Duplo July 17-

Re: TRU BOGF50% Harry Potter, SW, Creator and Duplo July 17-

I picked up two Emerald Nights. In the last three B1G1 50% I've picked up two Fire Brigades, Medieval Market Villages and Emerald Nights. All were released in 2009 and all should be retired soon.
Re: TRU BOGF50% Harry Potter, SW, Creator and Duplo July 17-
Five of the new Star Wars sets are now instock. Assuming that you get the maximum 25% off when buying 2 sets of equal value, you'll roughly be saving 17.5-20.8% off MSRP.
- Hoth Echo Base $94.99 (MSRP $89.99)
- Anakin and Sebula's Podracers $94.99 (MSRP $89.99)
- Geonosian Starfighter $32.99 (MSRP $29.99)
- Ewok Attack $26.99 (MSRP $24.99)
- Sith Nightspeeder $26.99 (MSRP $24.99)

My thought is that this sale wasn't well advertised. w/o this forum, I wouldn't have known about it.natelite wrote:buyer's fatique? they were gone very quickly in the previous sale. but i can see how having so many bogo50 sales that very quickly can easily zap even the richest of lego fans.vpdcus wrote:they seem to have plenty of ds in stock...

Re: TRU BOGF50% Harry Potter, SW, Creator and Duplo July 17-
Yep... I agree SH1. I just got me 2 Fire Brigades, and all the high-value-targets are still available.... wonder who long it will last....
I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.
Re: TRU BOGF50% Harry Potter, SW, Creator and Duplo July 17-
Grand Emporium is not working with the BOGO. Isn't it creator?
Re: TRU BOGF50% Harry Potter, SW, Creator and Duplo July 17-
When I called to place my order (I was driving and wanted to make sure i got my FB before they sold out...), they said the Grand Emporium didn't qualify either... weird. I just added another FB and was just happy to get them :)
Is Pet Store a Target Exclusive? I swear it was on TRU.com for a while, but no longer there.

Looks like the Echo Base was one of the first ones to go out of stock. Luckily I got two Battle of Endors, those are sure to hit out of production soon.

I believe the Pet Shop only appeared on Toysrus.ca. None of the USA retailers besides LEGO have it yet.Luciant wrote: Is Pet Store a Target Exclusive? I swear it was on TRU.com for a while, but no longer there.

The modular buildings seem to be Creator sets when City is on sale, and City sets when Creator is on sale. I am not pleased.brickz wrote:Grand Emporium is not working with the BOGO. Isn't it creator?

I take it other time zones get the deal sooner. I had the Fire Brigade & Grand Emporium in my cart waiting for 12AM (Pacific Standard Time) only to see after a refresh at midnight the Fire Brigade was removed from my cart due to being out of stock and Grand Emporium wasn't in the deal. 0 for 2! I partially blame you Luciant. ;)
For those who've been in the Lego deals game longer, do BOGO50% or better deals happen several times throughout the year, and for the same sets (like Creator)? I don't know if I should be going all out while it lasts or if there'll be other chances before these things retire, like a big Black Friday or Xmas time deal.

Re: TRU BOGF50% Harry Potter, SW, Creator and Duplo July 17-
There's no telling. Best for you to get the sets that have been in production for approx 2years for those will be discontinued soon. As for the timing, seems like it started around 12:10am usually, even if the promo said 9am EST.
Having said that, this year it feels the retailers aren't doing as well and we've seen a proliferation of sales and clearances unlike other years. At least that's my opinion based on what I have seen so far. PoP sets stuck around long after the movie only to undergo clearance now. But HP and PotC sets were put to clearance just 2-3months after being introduced. And we've seen bogo 90 on sw sets which never happen before and also b2g1 from target which was also never before.
As for sales, tru will be having one more during sep, it's mascot's birthday. After that it'll be during black Friday. But at this rate, I wouldn't be surprised to see more next week or next month. I think they are all desperate for sales now. Have you seen the number of clearance items in all retail stores? It's like almost half the store.

Why would you do that? The sale began at midnight est. That's 11pm cst, 10pm mst and 9pm pst. You could have ordered three hours sooner. The sale doesn't stagger at timezones...it'd be impossible to program that, since you don't enter your zipcode until you've actually completed the order (unless you're already logged in).adol7 wrote:I take it other time zones get the deal sooner.

I ordered at 11:10 cst and got the B1G1 50%. Next time, order at 9pm pst.
Re: TRU BOGF50% Harry Potter, SW, Creator and Duplo July 17-
Scored two Death Stars and two Tower Bridges - unbelievable. Between this and getting the BOGO stacked with 20% off on Cars 2 sets a couple of weeks ago, it looks like TRU has figured out how to finally have incredible sales. If only my credit card would stop screaming...
Re: TRU BOGF50% Harry Potter, SW, Creator and Duplo July 17-
I can't explain as I had Fire Brigade in my cart. I had 2 Death Stars just for fun and it came out to $800 up until after 12am PST. The blue Buy 1 Get 1 Half Off icon was no where to be seen at 11:30PM PST. Oh well, doesn't really matter now. Next time.Edmond Dantes wrote: Why would you do that? The sale began at midnight est.
