Thanks PoisonIvy! The sale price at Amazon.com is only for Amazon Prime customers, but I managed to snag one at Walmart.com after reading your reply. :)

Dangit, I have to get that Thanos set! I'll admit I'm not too familiar with Captain Marvel and I have no idea who Hyperion is...but that Thanos bigfig is awesome.

Thanks for the tip! I managed to grab one at my local store, they were only marked down to $65 but they price-matched their website price...the one in South Trail crossing in Calgary if anyone's interested, there was still a couple left. :)

Frikkin' resellers...I got to the south TRU in Calgary AB at 4:30pm today (Friday), the very first day of the Hulk giveaway, and they were all gone. Insane. I assume a handful of collectors/resellers came in and scooped them all up, since that's what usually happens with these collectible things. I ...

Awesome review, thanks for that! Your tips on how to feel for the pieces were very helpful, and your review was very funny and enjoyable to read. I look forward to your next one!

Lego mafia? What is this thing you speak of? Sounds nefarious!

I had to run to my local Lego store to grab one yesterday after reading this. I was wondering if people actually knew who he was or if it was just timing, with the new sets being released and the Lego movie and its sets being so insanely popular. I'm thinking it's the latter...no one will turn down ...

Yay, another X-Wing and police station. WTF? I'm pretty stoked about the Simpsons sets, though I doubt they'll appear as listed in this rumor...when does Lego make all the principal characters from a theme available in the same set? (*Cough* TMNT LOTR) Still, pretty excited to see what they come up ...

Price match with Walmart, they should honor it.

That thought crossed my mind. It sounds like others are having some success with that route.

The TRU store I called had already printed a price correction so I was out of luck in that respect too.

Cheers all!

They had a misprint in the flyer for 79104, TMNT Shellraiser Street Chase. It's printed in the flyer as $43.97 (the store and website has it at $63.97, which is what the 20% off actually works out to). It's actually a good deal at that price; I think $65 should have been its regular price, and $79.9...

My experience with Canadian TRU and polybags is that they introduce it as a promo. Then they seem to disappear, than a month later there will be piles of them for sale. Currently my Toys R Us has tonnes of Ghost Clock polybags. You're totally right! When I was at TRU in Calgary AB yesterday to get ...

Agree with nick. A new trilogy with no or minimal involvement from Lucas could be a great thing. After the prequel trilogy I can't be scared that Disney might "ruin" Star Wars...and especially since their handling of the Marvel empire so far has shown that they can be "hands-off"...

I've had some luck buying these polybags from TRU (including Thor)...I was told by a Customer Service person once that "if it scans, we can sell it", and I found I've had luck just repeating that statement to other CSRs who weren't sure. The Bricktober vintage minifig sets or the Darth Mau...

Nicely done hatcher! Yeah, it stinks that TRU is putting their Lego tax on sets in Canada now...that used to be the one and only good thing about buying Lego up here. The LOTR set prices seem to be between 5-10% higher than MSRP, so it's still 10-15% off, and if you spend $75 the freebies stack (fro...

^^ Me too, I got 2 of the Jet-Copter Encounter sets from S@H for $32.00 CDN shipped (regular $49.99 each), delivered yesterday. No complaints there! I also had a couple awesome scores off of Kijiji recently; 9516 Jabba's Palace (2012) and 9473 Mines of Moria for $125 CDN brand-new (still sealed!), r...

Wow, that was fast. I guess they didn't have many left! Though the AC line was retired a few months ago so I guess they're just clearing out their remaining inventory.

I assume the B&M stores would price match, provided they have stock left? My local store (Calgary AB) is all out.

LOL I actually did at first but that bumped my S&H charge up by $2.00. Not as great of a deal anymore! =P

Adding a second set of the Jet Copter Encounter added nothing extra to the shipping charge; adding a $0.98 bunny with a weight of approximately zero added $2.00. Go figure!

The Canadian S@H currently has the Alien Conquest Jet-Copter Encounter set on sale for $12.50 (regular $49.99)! The Alien Conquest line has been on various sales for awhile now but I've never seen this particular set on for 75% off before...good deal for what looks like a pretty fun set! I don't kno...

Me too, it just came this morning! And the credit from TRU.ca went through on my credit card as well. Thanks Toys R Us!

I'm a bit bummed that TRU Canada is starting to mark up sets from MSRP though...they never used to, that I noticed anyway. I thought that was a US-only thing. =(

I found myself in the same boat as you guys, I received both a cancellation email as well as a "credit card error" email for that order of Helm's Deep. But now my frustration is much higher. I called Toys'r'us and I spoke to someone about the issue, and the CSR offered to help replace my ...
