BomberA88 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I also got banned or redflagged from WM. At first every CSR said I had bad credit. After hearing that from 3 I asked to have a manager call me. Then got the speech that they reserve the right to cancel orders. I don't think TRU bans like WM. But now I rather buy from TRU. Dumb move by WM. WM should set a limit and get their act together for availabe inventory. Always posting phantom stock! U can even add 999 items to cart and have a 50,000 total. AA now avail at TRU and WM. I hope it's not full force ????. Quote
banshee3 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 I swear they must have unintentionally listed this product at 209$ and possibly oversold. I ordered one and I presume ordered before all of you. I haven't gotten anything yet either, but the charge is still pending on my visa, so not cancelled yet. *sigh*. here's hoping. Quote
bricketycricket Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 It's anyone's guess as to what goes on at that company. I knew it was a disorganized mess when I received a lone TH floating on airbags in a monstrous 40" x 24" x 15" box. I'm not kidding, that was the real size... 1 Quote

If it was a mistake, they left it at $209 for quite a few days (albeit sold out status) before bumping it back up to MSRP. And TRU.CA somehow did 15% off including exclusives so it isn't unheard of...the 'no sales on exclusives' must be US only? Quote
speedsausage Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Looks like my 2 ToO's shipped today! Just received the confirmation email. Booyaa!! Edit: Congrats to those whose orders get filled! Edited December 12, 2014 by speedsausage 1 Quote

I also got shipping confirmation on some of the sets ordered yesterday...so I'm still hoping to get the ToO orders filled and the GE (although that might be a stretch). Maybe I should cool it there for a bit, though, I ordered quite a few 10226s before they EOLed. Instead I've been using the bonus airmiles coupon to grab AAs from TRU. If they come back in stock in full force I could always return them... Does TRU.CA every ban? Hi Veegs a little bit off topic question. Because I'm new to this game, so could you give me some clue on how to get "bonus airmiles coupon"? I have given TRU's website a quick glance, but found nothing related to this topic. Thanks a lot!

banshee3 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 same. Happy christmas. I think they should include a couple free cafe corners for making us wait so long. Quote
bricketycricket Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Also got my confirmation this morning. Though the urge to kill was rising last night as I read all of your guys' posts... Quote
lego rules Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 nothing yet from secret identity order. It was a late order, reordering all the cancelled units from my first couple orders. Quote

No one ever called back. How long things take to ship, unreliable stock online, and now this. I am surprised they haven't got there $hit together. It is a complete joke. Quote
Veegs Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 In terms of shipping - the 50% off sets arrived today well packaged (SW & Creator) so now I'm hoping the ToO's arrive well packaged. I got shipping for 2 orders of 2. The only thing still backordered is an order of 2 x GE. My 10226s were cancelled for sure and the listing is removed. I'm still hopeful my GEs come in because I flipped two assuming I could replace them! Quote
bricketycricket Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 If you got two, they will likely come in the original box from Lego; that's how my 2 TH's were. It's the single orders that get a bit dicey Quote
speedsausage Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 It's official. Received shipment today. I haven't opened it yet. I'm a little worried about the bottom corner. Quote

bricketycricket Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Wow mine looks like it'll be arriving tomorrow. That was pretty damn fast. Quote

The wife mentioned it was a guy in his personal car that delivered it so I'm guessing Canada post has contracted out some deliveries for this time of year. Quote
ChristopherJB Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Anyone get their tower and rebates? Greatcanadian rebates reimbursed me with $12 per ToO. Not bad. Quote
speedsausage Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 What rebate is that? Do you have to apply for it some where? Quote

You access a vendor's site through the GCR site, and accumulate a rebate for a % of the amount sold there. Another similar site is ******.ca Both are well established and legit. ****** is offering 4% back on Wallie purchases right now. I use ****** and the every few months I get a check in the mail. The % varies by vendor. Sometimes GCR has better rates, other times it is ******. Kind on nice to get 4% + 2% on the credit card. BUT I missed this ToO deal and am VERY jealous of the box pictures. $#$!)$$($!* 1 Quote
Thumper Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Back in-stock on Walmart.ca at full price $249.86 http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/lego-lego-the-hobbit-and-the-lord-of-the-rings-the-tower-of-orthanc-10237/927238 Quote
lego rules Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Nice, after they cancelled my back up orders. Walmart seriously blows. Quote

bricketycricket Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Finally got around to picking up my ToO today. Box looks mint aside from 'bulging' a bit. My sail barges arrived well packed too and in great shape. WM has been doing a decent job of packing and I've got all the airbags I will need for a long time. Quote
