Now if they don't inflate the prices should be able to get a few things. But the odds are we will get screwed again.

Only excludes Technic and Chima! Well, and anything else they might choose to mark a penny off their 'list price'.

Looks like they've inflated their prices to the higher end of the TRU range. Interesting to see that they can actually raise their raised prices - in March! I know this is nothing new, but it's shocking every time. That little reminder to never waste time looking at their prices.

Wow just out of Curiosity I had to check how bad they inflated their prices for this BOGO sale. INSANE. 16.99 for the littlest Iron Man Set and a 10 dollar mark up on the Mansion. So crazy.

So if I get from ToysRus it only cost me 79.00 for all the three new iron man sets. Keeping in mind the Boat would be half off.

Or if I paid full retail from Amazon it cost me 73.00.

Thank goodness the ToysRus exclusives also ship from S@H as I really don't wish to give ToysRus any of my business.

I was in TRU yesterday as I had a 20% off voucher and a $100 gift card. I intended to get the Vampire Castle but they had increased in $10 from last weekend so even with the 20% off it was more expensive than the Lego store in the same mall.

Yes, I noticed around here the TRUs are now charging $119 for the Vampyre Castle and Summer Riding School respectively. Disappointing.

Looks like they were able to raise their prices BEFORE the BOGO kicked in. Their web team must have learned their lesson from the last BOGO where they forgot and we actually got a BOGO from MSRP. Oh well, maybe next time.

I'm not sure if that markup is exclusive to this BOGO sale, my local TRU has these sets at 16.99, 24.99 and 49.99 and they've been at that price since they came out on the 1st. These BOGO sales are a good time to pick up some minifigs or polys, provided your local store has some, of course.

Only thing these sales are good for are the CMFs. Works out to be $2.37 per CMF after TRU's inflated prices.

Yep exactly those are the only things I've been buying from them for the last few months during their "sales" lol

The only set that is worth buying from Toysrus with BOGO is the Galaxy Squad sets.

I still can't get over the all caps ALL SETS and then list exclusions. Apparently it's not all sets, so don't scream that it is. I gave us on TRU a while back. If you spend a lot of time and align the stars you can get a reasonable deal on occasion but why bother? I'd much rather give my money directly to the local Lego store if I'm going to pay MSRP.

I think they were 2.39$ for me, but I bought 20, and somehow screwed up on which ones I got. But I got 13 of them, and then some extras for trading in case I can't find the last three. Not too bad of a screw up.

However I felt three cops and didn't put one in my "need" pile. I have a need pile for all of them, then a "maybe" for extras.

My local TRU had some OK deals depending on your outlook. I found 2 sets that are TRU/LegoShop exclusives and they are:

Hobbit Barrel Escape - TRU $44.99 (MSRP $39.99)

TMNT Baxter's Robot Rampage - TRU $44.99 (MSRP $39.99)

These two should total around $33.75 each before local tax, or about a 16% discount off MSRP. Both sets have at least one minifig that are currently exclusive in their respective lines.

If you can get them to sell you the Galaxy Squad polybags 30231 for 3.99 each, then you're doing pretty well. They were on the website yesterday but are gone now.
