Toys R Us MLP/LPS Pet Swap event, sale

[Violet CLM]

All info here
Apparently TRU is having an event next weekend for people to bring in their MLP and Littlest Pet Shop toys and swap them with others (probably just with other collectors, not the store itself, but I'm not sure). There's also some free merchandise, an exclusive LPS figure, and a $5 coupon. In the meantime they'll be running a BOGO 40% off sale all week, which has already started online.

Sounds interesting. I'm curious what kind of demographics would show up, though I'm not sure yet if I'm curious enough to go find out for myself. It does say "intended for children" in a footnote. Your thoughts?

Is it limited to TRU USA, or is it TRU worldwide?

Sounds like a fun thing for people and kids to try out!

I have a toysrus down the street, so I'll have to stop in and see if I can grab a pet and a poster.

Ooh cool! Anyone else in the NYC area planning to participate? Maybe we could organize to meet at one specific TRU location...

[SpaceButtPonies]

I may participate if I have off.

If there's really a coupon, I might stop in, but I doubt I'll be able to trade anything since it'll likely just be kids. Although I may bring something with me in the even there's another adult collector.

I'm sorta considering going. I have been to their Shopkin Swap once. I'm not afraid to trade with kids as long as their parents are there and it's a supervised event. For all the parents know I could be doing it for my little sister who is at a game or class or something and can't make it.

I'm more interested in that LPS figure. If it is only available at the event I need to get it.

[Leave a Whisper]

That sounds like fun

Oh wow, I thought it was just a LPS event! I was going to go anyway for that mop dog :o

[ponyqueen]

Hm! I think I'll go!

I would love to do this but sometimes I feel self-concious  I don't want to standout among the kids there

You could just go in and look around, and if you don't see any adult collectors, just get the coupon and buy something new. It's probably what I'll end up doing.

I'm going to head over later.  I'll bring a bunch of random pets/ponies to trade just encase.  I'm okay with trading with little kids as long as their parents are.  I told my younger brother if I have to I'll send him into trade
