New TRU sale (Aug 19-25): Up to 30% off on all Transformers

[Robimus]

Cyberton.ca members Pascal & Yonoid brings us news of the latest Toys"R"Us sale. From August 19th-25th all Transformers toys will be up to 30% off.

[Pascal]

Except Rescue Bots and clearance. A lot of price adjusting to do on Friday!

[predahank]

is mp bee buyable now?
I think I will still wait for clearance

[wervenom]

Beautiful. Thanks Pascal

[Pascal]

Btw, how does one do a price match at WM when it's only a %? I have a few items to price match (the new Minicons, some Titan Masters and Power Surge Bee).

[wervenom]

You can't match a percentage. All you can do is hope that the item is on the TRU website. Show Walmart the flyer so it states the sale date and use a cell phone or iPad to show customer service the website of the actual item

[Pascal]

How about taking a picture at the TRU store showing the price?

[wervenom]

You can try but I would say it's unlikely. Not impossible but Walmart generally will not accept pictures as they can be easily altered. With websites they usually make you refresh the page on the spot.

[DuG]

From my experience it has to be an advertised price, they don't except in store prices. However you may end up getting a nice service rep. Personally It's always been a hassle getting WM to price match so I don't bother anymore. Wish you the best of luck.

[Yonoid]

When I on Lego at Walmart they wouldn't use the flyer since it just said 25% off. But I brought up the item on my phone and they used that. Ymmv

[Dark Rage]

But it's advertised as "Up to 30% off".

That sale price of those voyagers equates to 20% off the regular price. Doesn't really make much sense to me.

For all we know, this sale can be crapshoot random because it's "up to 30% off".

[Yonoid]

http://flyers.smartcanucks.ca/canada/-toys-r-us-canada-flyer-august-19-to-25/single/3

english version of flyer. Page before has TF Rescue bot figures at 40% Too bad quickshadow isn;t out yet

Just ordered computron, planning to pm with price. also used ebates for cash back

[BoNKerS]

oh timing is perfect! thanks!!!

[RNSrobot]

Mm. It will be interesting to see how dickbaggy they are with the "up to" caveat. I mean, still a decent sale on TR but as already noted their sale price is only 20% off. I do have an RID warrior Paralon to get price matched, and got all my TR on the previous 25% off sale.

I need to get price matches on the titan masters, though. And I'll be curious to see what the prices are on the CW boxsets and Fort Max.

[Bountyan]

Time to get Sentinel Prime.

[Pax52]

This will include fortress maximus right ?

[JLvatron]

This will include fortress maximus right ?

I'd think so, but we have no idea on the sale % until Friday.

[zuffyprime]

Good catch Dark Rage

[Crobot91]

Based on the flyer, TR voyagers are 20% off. Should be interesting to see what qualifies for the full 30% off. Hopefully, Fort Max and Bumblebee are in the mix.

[Transbot90210]

Been waiting for one of these. Thanks for the heads up.

[CyberMnky]

This would be awesome except the TRU by my place has shit all for anything wanted.

[Webs]

Do we know how much will be taken off RiD warriors prices? I want that Starscream but $20 is too much for such a small figure.

[sarmick01]

for those asking about pricematching....if you read the entire thing, it says the actual sale price of the voyager at 23.97

[Darth Cylon]

How does Voyager Galvatron scale with MP-28 Hot Rod?

[Matrix_Holder]

[Darth Cylon]

http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/attachment.php?attachmentid=34447&stc=1&d=1471458340

Nice! Could be a good stand-in until Takara releases a genuine MP Galvatron.

[Matrix_Holder]

a 2017 release;)

[Dynamo.Dave]

Do we know how much will be taken off RiD warriors prices? I want that Starscream but $20 is too much for such a small figure.

Agreed!

[riders80]

Can we do a price match w the leftover CW limbs i found last week ?

[mAk]

I really hope Computron is included since I ordered him yesterday.

[Megatron75]

Nice. A slight refund on my Fortress Maximus. Great find.

[RNSrobot]

Can we do a price match w the leftover CW limbs i found last week ?

You have 45 days from time of purchase to bring your receipt back to TRU during any later sales for a price adjustment. So, presuming the CW limbs are on sale tomorrow (did you get them for the recent $11.99 price?), you simply take the receipt to your nearest store and ask for the price adjustment. They'll refund the different to your original method of payment.

Picked up a second Galvatron to with my $15 one from the initial pre-order/sale situation. Going to keep one as-is for my OCD, and minor mod another. Knock off the cockpit, paint the face.

[RNSrobot]

Do prepare yourself for SOME level of disappointment. TRU has, in the past, been notoriously stingy on these "up to xx%" sales.

Once, Lego Batman Arkham Asylum, on an up to 20% off sale, was an entire five bucks off the 210 retail price.

Hoping I can get some 5-6 dollar titan masters, really. Got everything else I wanted on the 25% off sale last month.

[Yonoid]

Tru Oakville. Computron. Power surge Starscream. Rewind, stripes, Blurr, scourge, skullcrusher.

[Xtreme987]

Ya "up to" soundz fishy. :confused:

[General Tekno]

Sale prices are all updated on the website.

Fort Max is a generous 25% off!

Everything else seems to be 20% off.

[ccsquinty]

Fortress maximus is $172.47 + tax

Use SHIPFREE to get free shipping

[style]

The combiner gift sets are all over the place. Some are 20, 25 or 30% off.

[species5618w]

Fortress maximus is $172.47 + tax

Use SHIPFREE to get free shipping

Thanks, ordered. Still not sure though. I remember Metroplex was much cheaper at retail.

[Xtreme987]

Fortress maximus is $172.47 + tax

Shouldn't it be free already since your spending more than the $49 threshold ?

[species5618w]

Shouldn't it be free already since your spending more than the $49 threshold ?

Not for some of the bigger items Toysrus sell. They would give $10 off shipping instead.

BTW, MP Bee is 20% off, which might be a more reasonable original price. Sigh...

[positivelyken]

Shouldn't it be free already since your spending more than the $49 threshold ?

It might be because of the size of the package.

[Xtreme987]

^
ok i c .. makes sense. :)

[innermanchild]

I picked up the Computron set for $110 using this code:

NEWARRIVAL16

Also, was free shipping, but before tax.

http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=95607246

[PrimalEnvy]

Were Leaders always at $60, normally? Or did they jack the original prices for the sale?

[Metroplex79]

Were Leaders always at $60, normally? Or did they jack the original prices for the sale?
Yes. Leaders were $60 for awhile now.

Not a very good sale IMO.

Most of the stuff is only 20% off, plus the new deluxes are $19.99 now.

I might consider Victorion though at $105.

[Megatron75]

Fortress maximus is $172.47 + tax

Use SHIPFREE to get free shipping

Niiiiiice! I'll take it.

[species5618w]

Niiiiiice! I'll take it.

The NEWARRIVAL16 code also works for it, so that's another $10 off. Unfortunately, I couldn't cancel my order anymore. Got disconnected by Toysrus twice. Will have to return it. :argh:

thanks man! Guess I have to return my computron today and reorder a new one. Anyone know if you return an online order paid by gift card is there a delay on the funds to show up?

[urfwc]

After looking at the promo code, If I'm not mistaken I think the NEWARRIVAL16 special code is for a $10 discount for the purchase of a new baby item $50 or more, but it's working fine in the promo window for transformers, who knows what else, but I'd probably get your purchases in before there IT dep get wind of it...

If I'm correct on this...

[General Tekno]

Now that I've used it for Fort Max, code doesn't seem to work for G2 Bruticus or other TFs, interestingly enough.

[RNSrobot]

Remember that you can use their online price match form rather than calling in (for online orders).

http://www.toysrus.ca/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=83357336

[PrimalEnvy]

NEWARRIVAL16 works if you have any one item over $50- so Leaders, MP Bee, or giftsets.

[Bountyan]

As much as I hate that Computron set I think I might have to buy it just for Scrounge. I'm not sure if I'll be able to find this set cheaper and finding someone selling Scrounge by himself for a good price is gonna be hard

[fishtifer]

Isn't Blurr supposed to have an Autobot symbol on his chest somewhere? Or do I need to return him and try to find another one during this sale which will be tough to find another one?

[innermanchild]

Yeah I had noticed that, but gave it a try anyway. I kept thinking all along that it would fail eventually, but it completed and I got an order confirmation email. The way their website seems to be awful sometimes, hopefully it will be a while before they catch on :)

[Rodimus Prime1]

Used NEWARRIVAL16 on Fort Max and they gave me free shipping at check out :D

cost before tax $ 162.47 :clapping: :canada: :bow:

[Goaliebot]

Woot, thanks for the codes! Knocked FortMax down to $162.xx plus tax and shipped free.

Computron is OOS.

[pandaprime]

so does anyone have the list of of actual percentage discounts? Looks like the leaders are only 20% off?

p.s. anyone having trouble adding Computron to shopping cart? I keep pressing the Add to Cart button but it doesnt go!

[Pascal]

Too bad none of the toys shown are available!

I just submitted one, are you supposed to receive a confirmation e-mail indicating one has been submitted?

[chaingunsofdoom]

Typical TRU though... run a sale and then show images for something that might arrive at like Christmastime. :)

Yeah, christmas time 2019.

[Janitor]

Thanks for the codes, y'all! Didn't think I'd be picking up Fort Max so soon (especially after that epic TRU pre-order arriving this past Tues)...and yet here I am.

Wife's gonna kill me, even with my birthday coming up. Fully expect my timeline to be:
-get Fort Max, celebrate b-day on Thursday
-funeral Friday
It's be swell, so long friends!! Ahahaha

Swing by my funeral after! Because my wife has been answering the door to a LOT of TRU packages lately...

[Yonoid]

I had everything shipped to work. But then we swapped cars today and she saw some in the trunk :/

[chaingunsofdoom]

^ busted! You're all in Ontario, so you can swing-by each other's. :)

[funkmasterke]

Don't know if I should just put up the extra cash for the fort max SDCC, wait for the regular version to go on sale in the states (as amazon usually puts the more expensive transformers on crazy clearance eventually), or just buy fort max for $162.47 before tax at toys r us now.

Ugh such a conundrum, how many days do I have to return stuff to toysrus?

[Pascal]

I want the sword... but I can't wait. But then I don't have any money. But I can't wait. But I want the sword. Yet I still don't have any money.

[Rodimus Prime1]

^ Option #2

Just buy the sword

[ironclaugh]

Welpp.... I got my Fort Max that I bought July 13th price matched... so I'm happy. Also got a couple of legends figs price-matched.

[funkmasterke]

Well, i mean the SDCC sword is pretty lackluster. I guess you could use the money you save to buy a better looking 3rd party version of the sword down the line.

Though the sdcc does have the stickers already applied, but I prefer the retail titan master head to the SDCC.

Ugh why couldn't the SDCC fort max be the definite version like the SDCC Metroplex. If only the SDCC had the Hasbro sculpt with Takara color scheme. It would make this decision so much easier.

[Yonoid]

Burlington tru. Lots of wave 1 deluxe. At least 5-6 sets. Computrons. Some new minicons I never seen

[Pascal]

I want the official sword, I already have similar PE sword for my Dia Commander.

[Sureshot22]

Got my Fort max price adjusted. Happy to get back $65 :)

[Megatron75]

Welpp.... I got my Fort Max that I bought July 13th price matched... so I'm happy.

Me too. I went after work today.

On a side note, I also saw an empty Fort Max cardboard shipping box and asked if I could have it. They said "no"...that it was "against store policy". Strange, they're just going to recycle it. Why not let someone have it.

[Yonoid]

Remember that you can use their online price match form rather than calling in (for online orders).

http://www.toysrus.ca/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=83357336

Any idea how quick they respond to price match emails?

[Armagear]

Dammit, thanks alot guys! Quickest purchase I have ever made. To think I was even on the fence about getting a Fort Max. Sure doesn't look like it now heh.

[Pascal]

I was frantically searching for my old Walmart receipt to have my RID16 Power Surge Bumblebee price-adjusted from 49.99 to 37.97. Couldn't find it... until I finally found it. I originally only got charged $14.92 for it!

Good job lol. Gotta love those scanning errors and lack of price updates. Got Sentinel Prime, Blurr, Hardhead and Skullcurncher price adjusted last week. Still debating Fort Max

Better hope you find Fort Max in store then, cuz as of right now he's sold out online:
http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=95607646

I think WM removed him from their site as well

I've seen him in good quantities in store so not really worried. I'm thinking about the SDCC version since I'll be at Fan Expo next week so it's a toss up between the 2

[Pgianos]

Im waiting for fort max to go to less than a 100...:) 170 is insane much less 220 for a remold

[Karifore]

For people that need to or prefer to order online, Amazon has matched the TRU sale price.

You may be able to find a junker for that price.

[Kei78]

Just got my fort max price adjusted from my July 19th purchase... then I bought MP bumblebee since he was on sale. Still pricey but I didn't mind after the money back from fort max

[ccsquinty]

Going to return my fort max...

Toysrus with their terrible packaging... Not surprised... Comes in a bigger cardboard box with no cushion

My fort max box has too many dents...

[joedick]

Arg, I couldn't get the Computron I ordered last week matched because it's no longer on the website so customer service couldn't verify the price. You'd think they'd have some other method than just checking the site. I guess I'll have to return it to a store and rebuy it.

I've taken my online purchase receipt printout thing (paper in the shipping box) to store customer service and had them do a price adjustments before. Your mileage may vary though.

How much were the leader class blaster and hardhaed for this sale. Sold out on web site .

How much were the leader class blaster and hardhaed for this sale. Sold out on web site .
