Happy Thursday! I'm off to buy some on sale CITY once retail wakes up.

I'll be snagging some more Bricktobers today.

Just got an email from Synchrony Financial (e.g. The TRU CC people). It says that the 10% off Thursdays is limited time only.

Fine print says: 10% Off Thursdays: Valid through 4/30/16.

 

If this is the case, looks like I'll be canceling my TRU CC on 5/1/16 [emoji14]

Why? There is no fee for the card!

There are a lot of other cards that doesn't have fees also. If the 10% Thursday is over what's the point of keeping the card though? 

Double points on the rewards whenever you use your card?

With the standard 5%-15% markup on most sets, if you can't pair coupons with TRUTH, then literally almost any other store is cheaper to buy from at any time.

If the coupons come back, some either don't work w/o CC or the discount is less...

Right, but again, without TRUTH and coupons, there is little incentive to shop at TRU except for a few exclusives.

Little incentive? There's no incentive...

Well with me as is with others, we have kids and shop for other toys than Legos and not to forget babiesrus.

Bricktober deals stacked with coupons and TRUTH/TRUST last year were awesome!  Not to mention they have decent clearance deals from time to time.  I snagged some Coruscant Police Gunships for $35 late last year and Battle for Ninjago City at 50% off.

Speaking of that, the big green clearance stickers are back.  I noticed them when I stopped in yesterday.

Say what you want about them but it's the only place I can find two 75060 slave 1's for 335.98. Only at toysrus can I find that deal after discount and gift cards

My store was over flowing with everything but Train Stations. 20+ of Hotel, Bakery, and TRU store filling the shelf, and a lonely 5 Train stations.

I walked off with 2 full sets and 2 extra Train Stations for $7.70 each after TRUTH and GCs.  Left 1 train station on the shelf...

So my store had a bunch of bionicle stuff on clearance and then an extra 20% off on top of that.  With TRUTH magic it comes out to about 50% off.    I thought long and hard about it but didn't pull the trigger.  Anyone else facing this dilemma?

If I've got the number wrong let me know. Images got pixelated when I zoomed in to read it.

This is the 20% one.

 

 

Has anyone successfully used this 20% off code yet?

The 2x rewards (~8% back) beat VIP (5%), Target RedCard (5%) and Meijer (varies, but 2% is about typical with mperks rewards).  Add in price match, polybag promos, better discounted gift cards, and sales that are more frequent than any other B&M and TRU offers me plenty of incentive to shop there.

Chicken Guy is out at my TRU. He looks exactly like my CMF Chicken Suit guy.  Photo attached.

I believe there is a difference on the head stud.  (Really, really trying to not start ranting about the stupidity of BrickLink catalog minutia).

For me, having to memorize prices solely for shopping at TRU negates the rewards benefit. I just need a little bit incentive more for the inconvenience...

Went to toys r us today and they said they don't price match Lego.com. i showed them their policy on the website and they were shocked it was there. As i proceeded to pay with my toys r us credit card and they said 10% would not apply. I told them thats weird thats the first time im hearing all of this. They did eventually price match and give me 10%. They said they will make an exception this time.  Anyone experience this.

Yes there was a whole page of posts on this phenomenon a few days ago.

yes, they always make it seem like theyre doing you a favor.... if you run into any grief with PM and TRUTH call the bank from the store

Yes. It's either the price match or the 10%. Both offers don't stack. They did do you a favor. YMMV of course, but a supervisor will have to override the cash register transaction in order to implement both.

Went to TRU didn't see anything worth buying . Then hit target, same . Walmart rinse repeat .

Not true. This discussion happened recently, the 10% is covered by the bank, not TRU itself.  And having gone through the fine print, price matching is not excluded from the 10% Thursdays.

Also had that happen, manager said they don't price match Lego.com. I put the item down, went out to my car, looked up TRU's price matching policy and then went back in and showed him. He was surprised, but then price matched for me.

If a bank rep is working the register at TRU, you can take it up with them. The discount won't stack with the price adjustment unless there is an override. Your store might be one of the extra nice ones.
