I've got two of these I'm sitting on for eventual resale. I got one @ $336 and the other @ $240. Of course in retrospect, I wish I had picked up a couple more or so but I they probably wouldn't have been for as cheap.

Just wanted some opinions. I have one of these sets MISB and have noticed some of the prices these have been going for on eBay. They have sold for as high as $200+. Any opinions/theories as to why these have sold for so much?

Getting the free Han Solo minifigure helped me make the decision to buy @ 50% off. The free poster and 2 free Chima starter sets were a nice bonus to get as well but to be honest those will just sit and collect dust or my 5 year old daughter will get them.

So how does it work if I buy two DA (or 1 DA and one other item at $150)? If I returned the extra item keeping the DA would I net out at 25% for the DA? If so, that doesn't seem so bad. Or will they show one item at full price and one at 50%? I thought the last time I took advantage of this sort of...

Alot of the folks here that give toysrus a hard time are actually causing them to rethink and make the sales tighter. It's not working, just making it worse. We can no longer get great sales at toysrus, wonder why.... They can sell what they want for the price they want, it's their product and thei...

Filing a complaint with the BBB worked out very well for me the last time TRU advertised BOGO 40% off. I ended up getting 40% off BOTH one SSD and one DS.

And it expires in February of 2013

Picked up the Hoth Echo base for $71.24 and had to get a couple other small items to get my $10 giftcard.

The code I got showed up as an "appeasement" code, so I have a feeling it won't work. The person asked me specifically what items I was going to purchase before she issued the code to me so I'm guessing its a one time code and would only work on the two items I bought. The two sets arrived...

Just a quick update. After playing phone tag with the rep from TRU, I was told I would be given a code so I could make my purchase via their website and they would be honoring the BOGO 40% off for the Super Star Destroyer and the Death Star. When I got home and made my purchase, I found out the code...

The BBB doesn't care. I worked for TRU and Lowes and other big box stores. The BBB is there to make it seem like someone cares about the shoppers, they don't. Well my filing a complaint with them got a response from TRU and they say they want to "make things right". I shoulld know soon en...

I tried purchasing two UCS Star Wars sets, the Super Star Destroyer and Death Star 2. I ended up emailing TRU customer service and they replied with what I feel is a bogus answer. The short answer (without copy and pasting my somewhat long winded/very detailed email to them) is I did try to use the...

I had been eyeing the SSD when it first dropped to $335.99 on Target.com and missed out because I took too long talking myself into it. I've been checking everyday for over week and they had them available again tonight so I bought one! Couple that with 5% cashback bonus via shopdiscover makes me fe...

Would it be ok for me to post a complaint (rather lengthy) about Toys R Us and this deal here in this thread? They are telling me I'm wrong, but I'm having a hard time seeing it and I'm usually pretty unbiased.

Yes, most of the good sets are excluded (even though most are marked up in the first place). HOWEVER, I found the $60 purchase price to receive the free collectible set is met before the sale price is taken into account. So, I bought two 9471 Uruk-hai Army sets for $32.99 + $19.79 = $52.78 and rece...
