The dreaded "Select" is in there, so hard to say.

 

I'll be sure to check them out online on boxing day though, but no way in hell am i venturing out to do any physical shopping on the 26th ><

LOL.  I almost underlined "select".

I'm going to guess not too much - the Superman sets from DC are likely to be on sale, but they were 40% from amazon.ca last week, so this isn't that great of a deal. As for SW, since exclusives likely will be excluded, the large sets that might be of interest would be the Sail Barge, AT-TE, Rancor, Jedi Defender - these have been discounted at other retailers and might not be around much longer, so 30% off if you missed out before isn't bad.

 

Any change the MF is discounted? Granted, it is already marked up to $199 from $179, but at 30% off I'd probably be in for a few.

I missed the last couple deals at Target for the new AT AT so I'm hoping that they get some back in stock and put them at 30% off. I just want one for our personal collection.

Boo no 50% off? Guess I'll drop by to check it out if I'm nearby.

The devil's always in the fine print.   I was at TRU on the weekend during their Dec 19-21 "up to 20% off" on Lego City, SW, etc.    It didn't escape my notice that some of the larger sets were definitely discounted less than 20% off.  (such as Town Square, which was $20 off, not 20% off).

While sales on the exclusives are a bit more rare... it would be nice to see AA go on sale at this point. Especially since (last i checked) they had like 70 of these still in stock. 70 is a crazy amount to have of 1 exclusive.

 

We have seen the exclusives at %15 off recently and a BOGO early in the year, so anythings possible! Just not very likely.

The other fine print on the city etc. sale on the weekend was sets $229.99 and higher were excluded which meant of course the new Cargo Train set 60052.   (dammit)

Meh, that's underwhelming.

I'm not too familiar with Boxing Day sales. Should we expect anything interesting from the other retailers in Canada: Target, Walmart, Sears?

I would prefer to know in advance if I should reserve December 26th or not...

Do they ever actually go on sale? The 15% off was just a coupon code that incidentally applied to exclusives, but I've never seen them explicitly discounted on their own.

Not that i've seen recently no

Just BOGO's and coupon codes.

If the AA goes 30% off, i will be the first to hit 50 buy orders and get a margin call from my broker.

Yes and no. Boxing day is really to clear out old electronics and selling 2-3 loss leaders to get you to into the store to buy newer items.

I go out for 1-2 items every year that are a little under the radar and make 100+% the following winter but across the board, the deals are not very good.

Ex Astris, Scientia.

So I didnt see 30% off anything...there was only 50% off monster fighters, castle and galaxy squad. And castle and MF only had 1 set each on the shelf.

Was the MF on 30% sale at toyrus?

Monster fighter theme

oh....

Nothing was 30% discounted at the store?? The website is certainly not showing anything other than CHIMA 70155 at 30% off. Seems very dickish of TRUs make a show of discounts in the flyer and really discount nothing!

Yup. Went to TRU and NOTHING except Galaxy Squad was on sale. No Star Wars or anything. I asked and showed them the flyer and they said they didn't know. Not that I expected them to know.

Yea it is totally false advertising. There was one small castle set, the wolf set from monster fighters and about 4 galaxy squad sets that were on sale for half off. There were no other signs anywhere.

Not a single Star Wars set is discounted.. Why do they lie?

I passed by a Toys R Us in Montreal. There was absolutely nothing discounted. I assume that if they had had any Castle or Galaxy Squad, it would have been on sale, but I didn't see any.

 

Terrible.

Just terrible, glad I chose sleep this year.  Classic bait and switch.

Disappointed. But I saw the Jabba's Sail Barge for $105. Rancor Pit was $60. AT-TE was $84. TRU Montreal, HWY 40 and St Jean.

The nearby TRU had Disney Princess (Friends) Rapunzel polybag, no tags or sale indication on the shelf, that rang thru for $1.99... Must have been a huge sale on Friends stuff they were completely sold out of nearly everything Friends. (the poly bags were on an endcap & easily missed)
