Excellent! I'm glad someone on these forums were able to take advantage. I love sharing :D

I was at the South Vancouver Canadian Tire today and they had 40-50% off all the toys. Most of the lego had already been plundered but there were still 3 or 4 Malevolence (9515) sets left for 40% off at 89.99. I marked this thread as YMMV because I then went to another Canadian Tire (Grandview) and ...

I checked both Brentwood and Oakridge this morning... Nothing "good" left. The only things I saw were City Ambulances, Mining Trucks (TONS of them), Fire ATV, Alien Conquest Motherships, Ewok Attack, Battle of Naboo, and some other misc. stuff like hero factory and the small racer sets. T...

Figured this would be the place to put it since this is the most recent TRU thread... TRU on Broadway in Vancouver had a bunch of MTT Polybags on the shelf. I know a lot of people were looking for this one specifically; there are probably about 10-15 left.

Saw the following new Star Wars sets when I was in TRU in Metrotown today. 75000 - Clone Troopers vs Droidekas w/ 1 Clone Trooper, 1 Clone Trooper (yellow detail) 75001 - Republic Troopers vs Sith Troopers w/ 2x Republic Troopers, 2x Sith Troopers 75002 - AT-RT w/ Yoda, 501st Clone Trooper, Assassin...

Multiple Toys R Us that I have been to have tons and tons of these left.

Also, what about the issue with "customs?" The crossing the border to purchase in the US assumes you take back the set w/out paying any fees/dues on them correct? You are dodging the Import Taxes your country has in place to keep your jobs/economy competitive... unfortunately Lego is lump...

Just a quick note to anyone looking for Ghost Polybags... Metrotown TRU just put out a massive load of these and they are included in the 20% sale on Monster Fighters.

Also of note, they put out a number of Thor Polybags as well, although they arent on sale :(

I was psyched to get Hulk Helicarrier Breakout after someone mentioned they got one on sale... Oakridge didn't have any unfortunately but I did pick up the Uruk-hai Army set (with a nice sweater to round out to 40$). Has anyone seen the Hulk set at any of the other Vancouver area Zellers?

Location/region is also important (some folks get great clearance finds, or even Ross/TJ Maxx finds, etc that don't happen everywhere). People need to remember to post where they got or find deals at!! I see this missing all the time and then someone has to ask where they got it from and then they ...

I don't think it hurts to have more information, such as where and when and at what price an item was on sale. Certainly if the other users are saying that you are dumb for buying a set at a certain price thats not helpful. As for the idea of a benchmark, I think its definitely useful information. I...

I think it is constructive if the person mentions that the deal is not very good compared to recent deals, not very good given upcoming sales, or points you to another place with a better deal or something like those. I do however, see people who post a bunch of whine, basically saying that they wou...

Figured I'd lego-ify one of the ornaments on the tree already!

So what's the logic of not stacking the scratch cards with the sale prices in the store, but stacking the 10% with the sale prices online? Seems inconsistent. In addition to inconsistent its also inconvenient since the impression most people had was that they would stack. I also would have bought m...

FWIW: There is currently a Toys R Us Groupon available that starts at 5pm today (Friday 11/23) For $10, you get $20 worth of merchandise (in store only). It's good until midnight 12/24/12, at which time your Groupon would revert its worth to the original $10. Hey, it's $10 towards bringing down the...

The Vancouver store said the scratch % did not stack with any of the sales... What are other people's experiences?

The store in Vancouver had 20% of the Joust

I asked the Manager at the Vancouver store if they would honor the online bundle price and he said they were not able to. He said the bundle price was likely based on warehouse inventory which did not affect brick and mortar stores. I have not bought one yet and I am glad I have not looks terrible f...

This is what their website lists, although the one I went to had only a handful of the ones listed on their site. http://www.canadiantire.ca/search/search_results.jsp;jsessionid=QqGVY1hQJJG77rZhHZB11QGVmDMmp66H4y83D6tYhPrLGY6yNB9y!954785675?bmForm=form_endeca_search&bmFormID=1353368757543&b...
