At least it wasn't $5 off your next purchase. Right? If this were TRU USA, they would of have probably cancelled all the orders without notice or even a compensation gift.

^ That stinks. I really thought TRU would 'man up' and honour their mistake. I won't be buying from them again because of this... on principle alone. :(

I did too...I figured they'd at least do a "one-per-household" kind of thing.Noblebrick wrote:^ That stinks. I really thought TRU would 'man up' and honour their mistake.

I haven't even received my email cancellation/coupon code yet. If it's $45 off their inflated price (which comes to $135 + tax), I'm thinking if I should just bite since I was planning to go to the States in August anyway to get it for $130 + tax.
Re: [Canada] ToysRUs 20% off LEGO City, Creator, Basics
Yeah, got the same cancellation... surprised (not) that it took them a week to figure it out and cancel the orders. Pretty lame. Still might bite at the discounted price to save some $, but can't say I'm too impressed with them.
Plus it's not $45 off, it's more like $35 off since they jacked up the price by $10....
feh.

LEGO, it's not just a toy, it's an addiction... ;)

Wait for it to be on BN sooner or later and use it with a 25% off coupon!
Did any folks get their order cancelled who only ordered one copy?

Re: [Canada] ToysRUs 20% off LEGO City, Creator, Basics
I only ordered one and have not received a cancellation yet. Also a previous customer online. Fingers crossed?
Re: [Canada] ToysRUs 20% off LEGO City, Creator, Basics
Yes, I only ordered one and my order was cancelled.
Re: [Canada] ToysRUs 20% off LEGO City, Creator, Basics
Odd - no cancellation yet - but I do spend lots and lots and lots of money over the past few years (I buy plenty LEGO on-line with them almost every week).
Having said that - my cancellation is probably coming...

BN now has LOTR LEGO.
$129.95 - 15% = $110.45 + $6.95 + 5% (tax for Ontario folks anyway) = $122.93 - cheaper than ToysRus for sure (if your order was cancelled). But remember, the box will likely be destroyed once it arrives!

^ Thanks for the tip Harry99!
Re: [Canada] ToysRUs 20% off LEGO City, Creator, Basics
Thanks for the BN tip as well. Picked up the Mines of Moria set from BN. Approx $30 cheaper (taxes included) than buying it here right now. Good enough for me.
Also just received the cancellation notice for Helm's Deep. The $45 code is good until 9/1/2012 anyway, so I can probably wait a bit before I decide to use it, or just hit up BrickLink to get Theoden and Haldir (+ their accessories).

I ordered only one and my order was also cancelled. Oh well. It's nice having the $45 off coupon.

Here's a thought, once the LOTR theme goes into the 20% off rotation, assuming Sept 1 hasn't passed yet, use the code to get Helm's Deep for $179.99 - 20% = $143.99 - $45 = $98.99 (before tax). That's a 45% savings. Think it's possible within the next 3 months?

That's what I'm hoping for. Not sure if the coupon would work when there's already an existing discount, but that's when I'm planning to try. I can't remember how long the Superheroes theme (DC wave) was out before they did their first 20% off sale with that theme included.

Re: [Canada] ToysRUs 20% off LEGO City, Creator, Basics
Got my cancellation message. I told them to delete my account. Told them it is not uncommon for them to have %50 off on Lego, and my son will be very disappointed by their 'mistake'. All true.
Poor business choice on their part IMO.

Bahh, just got my cancellation e-mail. It felt too good to be true, but now that it's been cancelled, I can't help but feel a little disappointed.
Might work out okay if we get a 20% off LotR sale before September, but I'm keeping my expectations in check.

Re: [Canada] ToysRUs 20% off LEGO City, Creator, Basics
It was pretty quick for the DC stuff, I ordered 4 DC sets from TRU at 20% off and it says they shipped on Mar 2 2012, and the DC line hadn't been out for that long. I think they came out in Dec 2011 or Jan 2012? So only 2 or 3 months.pong0814 wrote:^

So yeah, fingers crossed that this promo code stacks with a discount, and that they have one before the code expires in September...
Re: [Canada] ToysRUs 20% off LEGO City, Creator, Basics
Same here, and I agree, without the 20% off and with their stupid markup, the $45 off is really nothing!autobrick wrote:Bahh, just got my cancellation e-mail. It felt too good to be true, but now that it's been cancelled, I can't help but feel a little disappointed.
