What is the best way to approach this sale? Obviously you want three sets at the same price, or 3 of the same set. But are there any combinations that make the most sense?

EDIT: Looking around a bit, everything large has a limit of 2 on it. Based on the last BOGO 50%, if you want modulars you will need to act fast to make sure there's enough to claim the offer.

this is the best price you will get from TRU, so I would go for the TRU exclusives, which means joker's funhouse, y-wing, any online exclusives, etc. but as always only get the sets you truly want since in this economy, the likelihood of further clearance sales is high. just see what's happening with the 2011 sw sets. on sale for 30% off on amazon, bn, and still with stock available. so, no rush to pick up doubles.

Are minifigs considered 'accessories' or will they qualify?

They'll prob give you that "minifigs arn't construction sets" bs so they won't qualify but you never know you might get a nice cs rep (highly doubtful) and be able to get the deal.

Btw don't forget to add in TRU's markups to the sets that you want to figure out the real discount from msrp (hopefully they keep the current online prices which are at real msrp but again highly doubtful considering its TRU who feels joy out of ripping people off). For me if the TRU price for all three sets arn't at least 20% off real msrp I'm not biting.

Now that we have the Super Star Destroyer, the Death Star has a pairing. You could get 2x Death Stars and 1x SSD, netting $266.67 each (not including tax).

Don't forget Ebates has 2% cash back as well.

Been looking forward to this sale. I'm disappointed Technic isn't part of it as I was hoping to stock up on some mini cranes (great parts at the price) or possibly grab another motorized crane, crawler and unimog (one of those for effectively $10 would be a good deal). Oh well.

The other sets I'd like are all 10-15% over MSRP, which makes this not much of a sale for me. Minifigs are sets, not accessories (bins, book covers, alarm clocks etc are accessories). So I'll check for minifigs, although I read yesterday that our local TRU was cleared out of series 8.

I'm in dire need of some normal bricks (1x4 and longer), but bricklink tends to be a better deal than most sets for those.

Those SSDs and DSs are going to go quick if they are part of the deal.

Wow, SW is part of the sale for once! And of course Ninjago is excluded.

Hopefully my TRU has series 8 in-store tomorrow...

So does this start at midnight? and if so, what timezone.

Just wondering if it's worth staying up tonight if I can go online and see what works that i want.

This is the sale where everything is marked out of stock as the clock strikes 12 even if you already have them in your cart. I remember last time if a death star was in stock and it said limit 2, the red notice would pop up saying the quantity you request exceeds our inventory and your cart has been adjusted to 1.

If you check under the TRU website, series minifigs are listed under accessories :sad: I was gonna load up on them too, in addition to roadplates and baseplates, I'm still gonna try though.

Also keep in mind that free shipping isn't always free. They'll cover $20 worth. So, 2x Death Stars and 1x SSD comes to $36 in shipping costs. $20 will be deducted from that. Other large orders may encounter similar charges.

Im betting the limit of 1 will be in effect, even tho the site clearly states 2 or 5 when you order
