ummmmmm.......are these supposed to be at TRU yet?


Recommended Posts

Pretty much. Toys R Us has been doing this practice of having items for sale a month or so before everyone else for a very long time. It isn't anything new really. Supposedly, Toys R Us has some kind of agreement with the various toy companies allowing them to sell their products earlier than others. This is also the alleged reason as to why they can mark up their prices more than the other retailers, too.

To be totally honest, the toy companies don't care how much they sell it for, as long as it is selling. It's just that TRU has a very misunderstood reputation of being "the place" to buy toys that they manage to sell them for inflated prices. Also, generally the toy companies sell their products on their own websites, so they can claim that their prices are cheaper than TRU, which would lead at least a few gullible parents to buy from them...and the company gets 100% of the sale.

Here is my theory on why the sets are in the stores but, not in LEGO Shop at Home. The set in the stores right now have a limited amount and that is why some of them are sold out. If the stores do not carry them anymore, then there will be a lot of people waiting for the release to happen on Lego LEGO Shop at Home to buy it from Lego. Thus making Lego more profits.

Yep, I flippin flipped that flippin flip for a few flippin dollars.  :money:
