lego rules Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Even at 50% off may have to hold awhile to make some profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakside Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Thanks for the heads up jeff_14. Just got two Goblin King Battles since I don't have one yet. Picked up 5 more Helms Deep for $89.87 CAN which is pretty good. Haven't seen it this low for CAN yet. Oh, if buying use AMEX for bonus miles.

jeff_14 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 I always do. AMEX had a promo last month to spend $500 between August 21 and September 21 to get 1200 bonus air miles. I spent all of that $500 at TRU alone. At 50%, you can definitely make money on Goblin King if you wait a while after EOL. I just need to sell it for regular price and I make 100% profit.

seapotato Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 is this in store only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 is this in store only? It is listed at half off on the Canadian TRU site. Moreover, I just went there and a pop up told me that if I spend $125 at TRU online this weekend I can get 60 bonus air miles. I'll have to order some more now for sure.

jeff_14 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Not up here. It's still in TRU all over the GTA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Update - The Helms Deep is also on for half price. Might get a few of those as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakside Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 1200 is a nice Air Miles promo, wished I took advantage of that. Been cutting back on spending more on inventory but today I had to bite on the Helms Deep and Goblin Battle haha. is this in store only? Seapotato...this Helms Deep price is cheaper than the Amazon sale a while back, even with potential discount on top for damaged boxes. If you need one or more Helms Deep I suggest you buy from TRU today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakside Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It has been EOL for awile! haha, I'm sure a lot of members are 'stuck' with the Podracers. Luckily I managed to sell ONE on Amazon few weeks back. Still have 3-4 more to off load Update - The Helms Deep is also on for half price. Might get a few of those as well. Yeah, I bought theHelms Deep first...pretty confident this will do better than Goblin. 50% off even for CAN prices you can't go wrong.

seapotato Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 thx for the headsup on helms deep. might grab one or two. not sure about goblin king though - it's such an ugly set lol. maybe will get one... how is the shipping from TRU? do they actually ship in boxes or do they just slap a sticker onto the lego box to mail?

lego rules Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 TRU ships in a box but there packaging is not the best and the box won't come perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't bought from TRU online before so we'll find out soon. If there's anything materially wrong I'll open these for personal use and sell the pristine boxes I already have.

This is a great price on helms Deep! Does anyone know off hand if the Helms Deep is available in Store at this price? If so I may run down there at lunch and grab one lol I'd rather select the box condition off the shelf than roll the dice with TRU shipping Not that I've had issues with TRU shipping, but you just never know.

I usually see it in stores...but to be safe I would just order online first. Can always return. yeah, it's a good price for sure on such a nice set. So glad I didn't buy it $169 CAN - 20% promo's earlier this year year haha. I haven't bought from TRU online before so we'll find out soon. If there's anything materially wrong I'll open these for personal use and sell the pristine boxes I already have. I have bought from TRU online many times...I would say, 95% of the time I'm happy with box shape/condition or maybe I've just been lucky. Sometimes they leave it at my door and sometimes they leave a sticker and I have to pick it up at the local Purolator office which I don't mind. Hoping my 5 Helms Deep and 2 Goblins are in decent shape. thx for the headsup on helms deep. might grab one or two. not sure about goblin king though - it's such an ugly set lol. maybe will get one... how is the shipping from TRU? do they actually ship in boxes or do they just slap a sticker onto the lego box to mail? Yeah, the GKB doesn't really interest me but I couldn't resist the price...there's a lot of mini figs also. Just hoping this set will retire quietly...with another 1-2 Hobbit movies coming out I'm betting this will eventually go up in value. Even if you resold it for retail price after EOL, that's decent profit. Wishful thinking this will become another Harry Potter, but you never know. TRU usually ships with Purolator for me. Never really have a problem with boxes. Yes, they ship inside another box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapotato Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I put 3 HD and 1 GKB in my cart - shipping is only $40 off?! I thought it was supposed to be free shipping. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lego rules Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yes I broke my orders to get free shipping. One order 2 helms deep. Another order 2 helms deep and 2 goblin. They offer up to $20 off if you buy $99 or more and up to another $20 off if you buy 4 sets or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 I bought separate combos of 1 GK and 1 HD in order to maximize the free air miles. Shipping was absolutely free. If you spend $100 or more you should get free shipping. You also get free shipping if you buy any 4 lego sets - this is aimed at small sets since you already get free shipping if you crack $100.

Hansolo55 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I put 3 HD and 1 GKB in my cart - shipping is only $40 off?! I thought it was supposed to be free shipping. . I put to HD in my cart and the free shipping comes up. I see a note that says free shipping **up to $20 value.. so that's probably why you see a freight charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapotato Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 purchased 1 of each. free shipping. but when I put in 2x hd I get about $21.xx shipping. stil have to pay abouy $1.xx which isn't a big deal but STILL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
