TRUTH Tactics : and now the end is here

[donbee]

I bought 18 x 30447 yesterday morning.

I bought another 10x last night.

Sold them all on BL last night. Went back to the same store (because I saw a box behind the customer service counter), after dropping the first 28 at the post office.

A new 3rd employee, the only one on a register, wouldn't sell me any. Finally she radioed her manager. He said they are a GWP, I can buy as many as I want on Sunday, but today only five.

I've seen those guys twice at that toys r us. Just turned around and walked out the door.

[Mos_Eisley]

Please don't mention specific reseller stores. 

[brickolodon]

Yes, some tru store got this promo poly earlier last week (got it with slave i purchase)...sorry for blurry. My closest store will start promo on sunday...

[Poly 30286]

Just checked the ad for 5/8-5/14. Captain America poly free with LEGO purchase of $30+ in store only.

So these must be next weeks promo, they say "Not for Sale" on the back but ring up $4.99

Although Brickset says they were a TRU promo 9/2015. I don't recall seeing them but I don't frequent TRU  

Perhaps my TRU just got a couple cases in.

I thought I saw these listed on toysrus.com a few weeks ago, but they must have pulled them.

My TRU had that Ninjago bubble pack at least a couple months ago (they since sold through them all).  IIRC, when scanned I think it said "Bricktober" or something.

[Alpinemaps]

I noticed that Ninjago pack yesterday at my TRU, for the first time.

[Pseudoty]

@Kenxxx Makes sense since the "Possesd" Ninjago figs came out around August/September 2015 but very few listings on eBay.

Deja vu

[micbelt]

For a while they were listed as a bricktober promo in tru.com but were available for purchase for $4.99. They just showed up in store around me this week.

Are they by the polys or in the Ninjago section?

[donbee]

My TRU is too confused. Some asst mangers swore the cpt America poly was a gwp right now, other said no. Ended up getting 4 for free yesterday (because they didn't give me 2 the day before) before a manager finally figured out ghst it was the marvel movie ticket that I should be getting, not the poly bag. But they let me gave them because they already did the transactions.

So did this all happen today or yesterday? As I posted earlier:

 

This started today. 5/8

[kris_1973]

We were able to get it w/ $30+ purchase (and you can buy them @ $3.99/ea).

[Alpinemaps]

Nothing like a national promotion that is YMMV by store

[kris_1973]

Especially when on TRU website's Daily Deals: http://m.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=3395098#buildingblocks

[donbee]

@poly 30286 Sorry for the vagueness. This occurred on Saturday. It's a complicated story starting from Thursday. But basically, I got 2 for free retroactively (thursday and Friday), and 2 for free for my transactions on Saturday. They were still debating it when I left.
I feel kind of bad now. One guy kept saying if they're GWP, they shouldn't let me buy more than 5, they ignored him.  I think I left them with only 3-4 bags.

Saw this same scene today at my TRU. Did you pick them up? I left them b/c even though it's 10% off with CC I can't see paying close to $6 for these after tax. Unfortunately the 20% coupon is off one item, not entire purchase

You can use the $5 off $30. Buy 6, get free poly and $5 off, TRUTH, plus discount gift card.

It's weird, I've never seen a single chicken guy at any TRU I've been to, but have scored so many polybags (including a bunch of Capt. America motorcycles that I used a $5 off $30 on)
