Dunno why I bother to even look and check... so much work matching just to get 10-15% off tops is not worth my time/effort.
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.

Still some good deals

Just bought the new Creator Family House 31012 X 2 and the Creator Tree House 31010 X 2. The TRU price wasn't too far off MSRP. Savings is about 20% for sets that aren't really even released :clap:

Pair the Technic Helicopter with Helms Deep. Both $140. Technic is not excluded from the sale. Not explicitly. And I did go through checkout to verify that this pair works.

Yes, but remember there's a $10 markup on Helm's Deep and $20 on the helicopter.

Galaxy Squad is still "discounted" to MSRP, so a good deal to be had on those sets (and they are good sets).

I didnt see it specified as online only. Can anyone who has been in store confirm this sale is not in store as well?

Ok thanks for the confirmation emazers.
I only go to TRU for the BOGO50 for the CMFs anymore. Good to know this isnt worth a trip.

So with some quick math this really doesn't seem worth it unless I were in the market for a couple large sets right now. I thought "Oh, maybe I should get the Eradicator Mech because that's cool, and maybe a second Eagle Interceptor." Well 50% off on the Interceptor is nominally $20 savings, right? But they're both marked up $5 (and the Interceptor is $10 more than from Amazon), so that's only $5-10 in savings in the end... Which then gets promptly eaten by shipping, most likely. Not much better with two Eradicator Mechs, which also was an appealing notion initially but didn't stand up to scrutiny very well.

On a side note though, double Helm's Deep would be $210 as opposed to list price from Lego of $260. That doesn't seem so bad.

It would appear TRU has pulled all new sets off the website
I have inoperable cancer and am unable to work. Any gifts would be appreciated. Thank you!

Got an email today that it is now valid in stores until the 18th. Really dont want to travel to find out if its legit in store and I'm too lazy to pick up the phone and make the call.

I'm a new member here, but just wanted to chime in. I went in this morning and you can combine the BOGO and $10 gift card with $40 purchase in-store. I ended up getting a couple of $15 creator sets (at regular MSRP), a $20 Galaxy squad set (also at regular MSRP), and the $22 Friends Treehouse ($2 more than MSRP, but what can you do?).Total was just shy of $60 after tax and I got the $10 gift card.

It IS valid instore and stacks with the $10 giftcard deal. It also stacks with the $10 off $50 for Rewards members from the last mailer for those who have that.
For Ultrabuild fans, the new Chima Chi ultrabuilds are in, and for whatever reason, the Worriz and Cragger ones are not marked up... 14.99 MSRP. (The others are 17.99) You can pull a close to 40% discount.
This is a good sale if you are shrewd in your shopping.

I've finally talked the wife into the TRU MasterCard. I look forward to devastating her blemish-free credit until the 15% off promo ends in June. Now the TMNT sets actually will be a fair deal.

EDIT: Apparently I'd been willfully (as in I willed myself to believe it) or wrongfully deceived: I thought the 10/15% off worked like the Target card. Nope. It's just that percent off THE DAY you get the card. Bah. Phooey. Figures. :problem:
