How'd you get it so cheap? I used the biggest coupon I saw during the pre-order window but that only got the price down to like $95 + tax. An extra $6 and change isn't that much, but I'm curious about where it came from.

Maybe it ranges. Picked up mine today and was $100.24 taxes in. I remember some $10 coupon applying at checkout but don't remember all the details

Has anyone gotten a call from TRU Burlington for rodimus preorders yet?

I didn't ask questions, just took it and ran, although I did notice a roughly $6 shipping charge on my original invoice that made no sense. No shipping on over $75 plus it was in in-store pickup. Maybe that got adjusted out.

$100.24 is exactly what I paid.

Did you show them the email that you got from TRU? If so, I suspect what happened is they looked at your email:

Subtotal: $119.99
Discount: -$38.89
Shipping: $13.89
Taxes: $11.40
Total: $106.39

They then just looked at the "Discount" amount and then deducted that amount from the $124.99 the item currently costs NOT realizing that the Discount also includes the Shipping costs.

Your "Shipping" cost may be a bit lower than mine due to location as if they did something similar, I would get $86.01 + tax.

Could be wrong of course.

Much appreciated for the heads up 🙏. Thankfully it was in my cart for the past two days and it showed up at $211.97 vs the price I saw today.... $287 😳. Despite the fact that Walmart does not price match anymore, I'm happy I snagged one. Especially since some places are sold out.

interesting theory.


I'll have to see what happens when I show up to collect mine. I'm supposed to get a status check for where mine is on Monday. I e-mailed TRU customer service on Friday morning just to make sure I knew how the store would be contacting me and if they had my phone number if that was the proper method (because I don't trust them to try and fail to get me by phone and go "oh well, I guess it goes on the shelf"). A couple hours later I get a call from the CS rep to check that my phone # is correct and offering to check up on where my Roddy is if I e-mail her again on Monday to remind her even though that wasn't what I needed help for in the first place.


You know, for as trash of an experience as store-level TRU customer service has been for me, their central/online CS people have been awesome.

I didn't show them the email. I wanted to see what she rang up first. Was gonna pull out the email if it was more than I expected but didn't have too.

You're exactly right because this is what just happened for me. I showed him the email and he literally took out his phone and did 119.99 - 31.28 (the discount total listed which was $25 off coupon plus $6.28 shipping credit).

He told the cashier that it should come to $107 after tax because he saw the total in my email but when it came to $100.24 he was like "well we screwed up your online order so whatever let him have it for that".

TLDR got rodimus for $88.71 +tax
