Zellers 40% off + TRU pricematch (and 10% more) = 50% off

Post by StephaneD »

Just got this weekend's flyers. Zellers has increased their sale to 40% off all Lego (up to $90 regular price). Then the Toys R Us flyer said they pricematch and add 10%. I guess that means you can get Lego for 50% off, so long as the regular price is $90 or below, at Toys R Us.

Last week when Zellers had the 30% off sale, we pricematched it at Walmart and bought a few sets as xmas gifts.

Would also like to mention that if you were thinking of donating to an xmas toy drive, this would be a good way to get some quality toys at a decent price for some kids in need of some holiday cheer.

On Smaller sets they seem to be competitive. Does someone have a link to these flyers?

Semiahmoo, Brentwood and Oakridge are 3 that I know of.

All I saw at Semiahmoo Mall was City Ambulance, Mining Truck, Police Pursuit, Police Station, Alien Conquest Motherships, Tripod Invader, UFO Abduction, Star Wars Ewok Attack, Geonosian Starfighter, and Battle of Naboo. The Lego games are 40% off as well.

No dice on price matching tonight at two other stores. Seems they want to see a single product with an advertised price.

Ah well. Worked last week at 30%. I guess it depends who you ask at the stores.

I tried at Coquitlam TRU and they said they will not price match that and told me to go buy the sets from Zellers...I really hate TRU. Talk about poor customer service. Don't even get me started about the flyer advertising the 50% off Star Wars sets a couple weeks ago and 2 stores did not know what I was talking about when I went in the first day of the sale. I found out later that one store had the Tantive IV for $99...I was choked.

I just wish there were better stores to buy Lego from than them. Oakridge center is too far away.

BTW 2013 Star Wars sets were in stock at the same location, well at least the AT-RT, A-Wing and the 2 battle packs.

TRU - Advent Calendar is $29.99 if you didn't already pick one up.

But, the little one wanted the new Skylanders, EB had them on sale ($65 in store special, not in the flyer), Wii version was sold out at EB. So I asked the poor clerk at TRU to check the price, and he went in to a set patter about requiring a hard copy print out to send to head office -- and then apologized and said I was not the first person to ask and he really had no idea why TRU just didn't put them on sale too, and apparently Costco had them on sale the week before. Nice kid, looked rather harried though, only one working the floor in electronics.
