Does this apply to all deluxes and voyagers? Time to dig those receipts for the TFP toys...

I'm curious to find out what Scouts Walmart has. Maybe there's Windchargers for people who don't own any yet?

Yeah does this apply to TF Prime Deluxes? $5.97 per deluxe would be insane!

Wow, $6 for deluxes!

^ no way in the history (or pass 3 years) has the Deluxe price go lower than 8 dollars!!!
Hope the Deluxe is not just for HFTD

Re: Toys R Us Canada & Walmart Boxing Day Sales
 
I hope everyone realize that after Xmas the TF section at TRU is usually pretty empty (well at least in Montreal for the past couple of years). So the sale is kinda pointless without any stock left...

What's the time limit for price checking? like 14 days?

Requateer 12-21-2011 01:20 AM

Re: Toys R Us Canada & Walmart Boxing Day Sales
 
Are Price Adjustments allowed for this sale? Or is there some fine print that won't let you because it's boxing day? Because I don't want to go all out on a pre-emptive boxing-week spree now (while there's still lots of stock) only to find out that I can't get the price adjustments later.

Guys. Check out my original posts with links to the flyer.

I didn't see fine prints.

They have to or you just return it and rebuy it. They can't stop you

Nomad 12-21-2011 11:33 AM

Exactly.

If I get denied my price adjustment request, then I'll just try the usual "alright, then I guess I'll return Unicron & buy him again" thing.

What if they don't let you return it during that boxing day sale period? In the past you sometimes had to wait after a specified date to return stuff.

Skystriker

If that's the case, then I'll just buy a new Unicron at 40% off, and then come back in a day or so to return what I paid 30% off for. Like, I'll physically bring back the new one to avoid opening a 2nd box, but you get the idea. This plan will of course fail if they're sold out, but it's worth the potential to save some money, and I'll probably save gas by doing it on a day when I'm already going out that way.

They really want to unload those DOTM toys. The TRU by my place had 2 walls full and a bin of DOTM deluxes on my last visit.

Really bad move for overstocking those DOTM toys... They shouldn't have done that. Remember those wave 1 toys were on the shelve for like 6 months before wave 2 comes on board, which is released 3-4 months later than US and other countries. Now, I really wonder if Wave 5/6 (the one with Que and Soundwave) will ever come to Canada.

The good side of these sales is TRU just put everything in the same category on sale, which also includes the new TFP toys. That's the bright side!!! :raisetheroof:

Nomad 12-21-2011 02:59 PM

Re: Toys R Us Canada & Walmart 2011 Boxing Day Sales
 
It might've been unfavorable back then, but if the stores can get wave 1 stuff in larger volumes & at lower costs to the stores, it's more than understandable. Also, it doesn't hurt to keep in mind how centralized all of these big stores are, and how people outside of the specific fandom wouldn't notice the difference.

Not that I'm complaining about being able to get Prime shit at sale prices, but yeah. None of this is surprising, especially for smaller areas, which all of Canada pretty much falls under.

Went to two different TRUs today for some Bulkhead hunting and figured I'd check while I was there. Both places confirmed that Price-adjusting for the boxing week sale is fine as long as you're still within the 2-week limit.

sikkbones 12-21-2011 06:30 PM

Re: Toys R Us Canada & Walmart 2011 Boxing Day Sales
 
tru also ordered HTFD in abundance and that whole line has shelfwarmed in hamilton.

Re: Toys R Us Canada & Walmart 2011 Boxing Day Sales
 
$6...WOW

A.) Excellent price.
B.) they're still turning a profit which is sad
C.) you know you're current lines are crap when you have to lower the price that much.
D.) $6 is just about the right price for Ultimate prime....lol

sikkbones 12-21-2011 06:53 PM

Re: Toys R Us Canada & Walmart 2011 Boxing Day Sales
 
anyone think the HFTD will still be clearance priced at 12.97 and not part of the deal as has been the case recently?

The HFTD here is 12.98, if I recall correctly the 8 means it's clearance.

Thanks for the heads up, so hopefully my store does the same. I'll be alright for Unicron (bought him on the 14th of this month), but I'll need to be a little more creative with the Prime deluxes & Icepick who I bought almost a month back.

UPDATE: TRU Flyer on Redflagdeals appears to be a regional one where stores are closed on Dec 26.

The BC flyer on TRU.ca states sales start Dec 26.

That's a great deluxe price, I wonder if they accept price adjustments on this sale though...

Sales are good only if they have stuffs that you wanted ;)

Those DoTM shelf-warmers and TFP Bumblebees can stay on their pegs :p :D

Two people at my TRU said that they would, but others have posted saying they were told to return & rebuy, so I'd expect to have to do that.
