I also got a coupon for 20% off one regular priced item...did you get that too?

[sterlingice]

I got the coupon and was just coming here to post about it. Now... what to get :)

[bobl]

Was the coupon mailed to you or is it available somewhere else.

[sterlingice]

Received via email.

Unfortunately, I forgot the classic TRU problem that a 20% off coupon just gets you back to MSRP on most things :(

[bobl]

Ha Ha. You are right about that.

[starfire2]

I just delete them.

20% off the Town Hall is hot if you ask me.

20% off the Town Hall is hot if you ask me.

Coupon appears to be instore only and I've never seen anything big in-store (otherwise, I'd be considering Tower Bridge).

[xycury]

Is the coupon unique or what?

I hardly ever get these but I get every BabiesRUS coupon... grr

Good point, its been a while since I've been in store. Has anyone seen the large creator sets in store or are these always online only?

[brickz]

I know the New York Time Squares Store has all the big sets but from what I've heard... they're all marked up over the already marked up Toys R Us prices. In the end, the stuff you buy there is probably gonna be 50% higher than MSRP.

[popnfresh]

yeah, the times sq store has most everything they sell, so the website can technically have that find/available in store statment, but its useless. And the markup is like 50% or more regular...so 160% of lego retail.

I picked up the new Friends camper set for $27.99 after 20% off with the emailed coupon and the free Ninjago polybag. I'm assuming the msrp is $29.99, is that right?

[SpaceViking]

I'm assuming the msrp is $29.99, is that right?

Yup.

[sterlingice]

They wouldn't agree to give me 20% off a set and honor the other freebies (hidden sword or series 7 minifig for $20 purchase or project case for $60). Which, if you look at the coupon, it said it's not valid with any other deal so I should have expected that. So I just used a 20% off coupon on a single series 7 minifig. A little sad, yes, but I got something out of it :)

^^ thanks SpaceViking.

^ I actually checked out twice because I forgot about the 20% off coupon. I was able to get the City Police Van and get the Ninjago poly and then I realized I forgot to use the coupon on omething, I went back in to get the Friends set and got the poly and it needed an override, which the manager did without question, so it must be YMMV. I was thinking this AM that I should have done both together to get the project case (but I didn't really see them in-stock, except for LOTR, and I don't know if that qualified), but I'm glad I didn't bother as that probably was too much stacking!
