Answering my own question. No go. 

Our American competition has been picking it up at $105 USD according to the New rate on BP. Checking over on BL new sets are selling at about $8 less than TRU price ($178 average)... before tax is factored in. Thinking no deal for investment.

Just noticed the Deep Sea Exploration Vessel is 33% off from $150 to $100. Got 2 of those already at that price the other month so have at thee!

In Store only. No stock anywhere on the west coast. Got me excited for a moment.

Lots here in the Toronto area. Our landlubber Timmies must not be as keen as those close to actual deep seas.

No to the Town Square (as you noticed)

Just get a PC with double VIP and the October freebie and it's a better deal for us BC residents unless you are trying to stay under the radar. 

Is deep sea worth it at $100?

My two cents is almost any lego is worth it at 33% off. This time last year I bought a bunch of cargo planes for the same sort of deal, then moved them very easily at MSRP shortly after retirement. For cargo planes! The uniqueness of this set appeals to me so I took the plunge. Ba dump dump

It's a nice set in my IMO but they have discounted everywhere for quite a while now so that worries me a bit

I believe I've already purchased 3 PCs from Lego.... all last year though, so maybe I'm safe... but I'm already 1 over the limit. I want a 4th for personal build. Might just find a used one on the cheap.... got a PS that way recently. 

I personally stay away from the TRU exclusive sets unless they are heavily discounted like BOGO 50% off or clearance at greater than 25% off. TRU order so much of it they end up lingering around forever even after the theme is retired. Case in point: Star Wars Police Gunship. Lego Movie Rescue Reinforcement. 

Are there some winner sets in the past? Yea. But they are far and between.

Well, the 20% off everything is ok for Christmas gifts.

Now tru has them all back up for regular price with a limit of three and no stock left of the PR.

So it was a pricing mistake, and someone had cleared up the Parisian Restaurants (it wasn't me  ).

Eh well, no big deal. Ordering from LEGO Shop at Home in October with double VIP and freebie will easily be worth 20% off.

Death Star back in stock, only $600

In hindsight; TRU pricing this at $600 for the last months of it's availability makes all too much sense now..  

PC and SOH is back 20% off sale price.

Got confirmation yesterday that the PC and PR I bought on Friday have shipped.

Nice.  I'd regretted not grabbing a PC or two previously, so I did just that.  thanks

And again. Pulled the trigger on a SoH. 

The PC is back if anyone wants 20% off

This week's flyer is lame, except I might get a giant Master Chief figure for 40% off. He can keep my giant Batman, Darth Vader, and Han and Luke in stormtrooper gear company.

Save on any Marvel toys, the code is MARVELSEPT10
Valid September 23- October 31, 2016
For purchase of $20 or more to save $10.
 

Just an extra observation I should've posted earlier when I ordered.... but the T1 Camper, and the Parisian Restaurant were both mysteriously missing from their website. A sign of anything or just random coincidence?

PC and SOH is back to reg price.  The prices for these 2 sets are bouncing up and down like a yo-yo this past week.  Strange.

Mixer gone too, but I would not read too much into it.

Very handy for small sets or sets on sale, though I take this as a sign that Marvel sets will not be on sale until after Halloween. Many are on sale on the website and in stores (though not mentioned in the flyer) right now, so I guess that deal ends on Thursday right before this code goes into effect.
