Does TRU Canada Carry Train Accessories?

Post by AshleyAshes » Tue Dec 27, 2011 9:16 pm

I was at one of my local Toys R Us on boxing day, just scoping it out, since I have an interest in the trains but they're a Toys R Us/Lego Shop exclusive. I saw the two train sets and the station, but no sign of tracks, the crossing or the other little things. The US TRU site lists those items, but the Canadian site doesn't. That said, with retailers like TRU (Especially Canadian versions of US retailers) they often only list a fraction of what they have online.

So, does TRU locations in Canada even have these sets, or is my only source going to be online purchases?

TRU does not carry train tracks, they can only be purchased at a LEGO store or online. They do however have the rail crossing at my store, or at least I think I saw them at some point.

Seems not, I went to the second TRU in the city and that one didn't even have the cargo train. I get the notion that in April, when I'm finished my second semiester of college and I feel like rewarding myself with the freight train, I'll just get a full setup and blow like $300+tax at the online Lego Shop.

What are the "other little things"?
TRU stores in canada carried all the train sets (5) including the station and crossing. No tracks or power functions for train sets available in stores.

I am actually disappointed that the lego stores don't even carry power functions (not counting the $30/$45 set) !
