There's actually a lot of great sets for sale right now at decent prices. Of course, raise coupons are gonzo.. I may have to take a drive. Edited June 21, 20169 yr by fossilrock

June 21, 20169 yr Anyidea what the polybag is? NM. I saw it is the City prison helicopter. Edited June 21, 20169 yr by jhypes0028
June 21, 20169 yr Forgive my aviation ignorance, but isn't this more of a plane, and not so much a helicopter? It has 2 propellers, and no rotor. It is definitely titled "Prison Island Helicopter" though.

It is definitely titled "Prison Island Helicopter" though. It was named that way to confuse the crooks trying to escape the prison island using this aircraft. Crook1: What's the hold up? You said you were a helicopter pilot? Crook2: Thiz thing iz not a helicopter, it'z a plane. I never flew a plane, ze controlz were different
June 21, 20169 yr Amazon is PMing TRU, as that same goes all week. With TRUTH it will be $107. Sea Plane poly is free with $30 purchase. Doubt that poly will be worth anything but free is free.

Crook2: Thiz thing iz not a helicopter, it'z a plane. I never flew a plane, ze controlz were different Don't get caught though. There's no room for prisoners, so they just hand cuff you to the pontoon underneath. Which would be a lot more comfortable if it took off and landed like a helicopter.
June 21, 20169 yr The best deal on 75105 comes down to what the sales tax situation is where you live + whether you have the respective company's credit card. I'll assume you do for these scenarios... Before tax: Amazon - $119.99 - 5% Amazon Prime Card = $113.99 TRU - $119.99 - 10% TRU Card = $107.99 + free polybag TRU wins in a no-tax matchup. For me, though, Amazon doesn't charge sales tax and my local rate is 9.5%, so... After tax: Amazon - $119.99 - 5% Amazon Prime Card = $113.99 TRU - $119.99 - 10% TRU Card = $107.99 + 9.5% sales tax = $118.25 + free polybag (which isn't so free any more compared to Amazon's price) Plus Amazon will deliver it to me and I don't have to trek to TRU.

Of course, with bigger purchases, the TRU rewards points factor in. I like scoring those, because they really do give you discounts over time.
June 21, 20169 yr Don't forget to factor in gift cards for TRU, which could bring the total investment down another 15%.

June 21, 20169 yr + 20% TRU coupon. smoke em if you got em, exp 6/25 Edited June 21, 20169 yr by jerryherb
June 21, 20169 yr I opened a TRU card today for another 15% off. Tax and all for the falcon 75105 was $109.71. They were out of the Prison Plane/Helicopter however, they gave me another helicopter poly 30311. It actually is a helicopter. Not a bad deal.

June 21, 20169 yr For the SYW $25 in points, does this offer show up on the home page? Is it a coupon? How do I know it is being applied? Thanks in advance and for posting.
