Not too shabby. Thanks for the deal notification! :D
How did you manage a 71.5% discount from TRU prices?

You don't want the challenge of guessing? :eek:

2X SW Advent Calendars (Clearance priced at $19.98 ea) and 1x SW Droid Escape (at TRU RP of $21.99). Total is $61.95 before the 3x$10 discount.

I was able to pick up the three items. Didn't have the chance to order more but there will be others down the line! Thanks to the original poster and others who helped answer my questions.

Yeah, the MOST he could have saved is 60% off TRU prices, and that's only if he got exactly $50 worth of 3 or more items in every order, and paid 0 tax and 0 shipping.

A more realistic savings would be 40-50% total off actual MSRP.

*edit Ah, the old clearance advent calendar trick.... Lol.

Y'know, that reminds me, Kudos to Lego S@H when they do stuff like "Free shipping with orders of $49 or more" because, as evident with the TRU thing, there's no way you can get $50 even with 3 items. The closest you can get is $49.97, which would not trigger the discount.

Lego, you're not listening, but that you for being consumer-friendly and logical when it comes to thresholds like that (most of the time anyway).

The code is still working as of a few minutes ago. Not a bad deal as I live within walking distance of a store. To bad no VIP points, but hey you can't have everything.

now that all the fun is over, i'm glad i "abused" the glitch so that i don't have any regrets. We can always return them to clear our conscience but they will never lower the price to meet our need :)

They sure wont! This time the customers came out ahead. I hope no one gets fired for a mistake though.

Given all of TRUs shady tactics for their sales events, I feel no regrets about taking advantage of this opportunity. I would be very surprised if someone did not get fired over this though. Bleeding money like this in a corporation is almost unforgiveable. Course, maybe this was the final act of someone already on the outs. Probably never know.

oh man i went back today to score even more.

i got 3 naboo pilots for 1.99 each. i also picked up the new firetruck, the sponge bob green ship (i like that green genie guy.) i got 4 of the new trooper battle packs, i got 4 endor battle packs, the droid escape drop ship, another genosian cannon, and a few more, but i cannot remember now.

the girl at tru did not even ask me why i was buying to many legos! ha.

i did the store pick up, because you never knew when the glitch was going to be found out. ha.

thanks again posters, this was one heckuva scam!!

Was thinking the same re: a disgruntled employee.

Yes! I recieved a shipment confirmation this morning. Wolverine's Chopper Showdown 6866, Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape 6867 and Captain America's Avenging 6865 for 36.87 (after shipping + tax). I saved about 30.4% off retail price.
