If nothing else, this would be a good chance to stock up on baits.

Post by: teresat on March 29, 2012, 06:54:44 PM: Does this mean they may have restocked for tomorrow? It's always bare when I go there!

Thanks for sharing!

Post by: Chi on March 29, 2012, 07:59:04 PM: ...So this means out of the 3 Applejack left at TRU, there won't be..Any? XD
My TRU is always super bare when it comes to MLP and MH stuff. Literally like 2 brushables (socks, playset accessories, etc.) and just clothing for the MH stuff. :/

Thanks for the heads up, though! I wouldn't've known about it otherwise! ♥

Title: Re: Fri & Sat Only - BOGO MLP at TRU!
Post by: Rococo on March 30, 2012, 01:08:48 AM: The TRU nearest me practically never has any pony singles for some reason. Hopefully they have some stuff tomorrow and it isn't all stripped bare by noon!
Title: Re: Fri & Sat Only - BOGO MLP at TRU!
Post by: Koudoawaia on March 30, 2012, 08:20:26 AM: There's not a Toys R' Us anywhere near me so I wonder if this could apply online as well.
Title: Re: Fri & Sat Only - BOGO MLP at TRU!
Post by: CrystalCrown on March 30, 2012, 08:22:49 AM: YES! time to stock up on baits again :3

hopefully they have diamond rose and cherry pie too! *crosses fingers*

Title: Re: Fri & Sat Only - BOGO MLP at TRU!
Post by: michelle53 on March 30, 2012, 10:17:15 AM: So I was totally skeptical that my local TRU would have anything other than I can walk Pinkie Pie, but they did! I picked up Sweetie Belle and Fluttershy train pieces!! Woot woot:). Just in a nick of time too, because as of Sunday I'm pony-fasting with Tuney.
Title: Re: Fri & Sat Only - BOGO MLP at TRU!
Post by: Okiedokieloki on March 30, 2012, 10:32:11 AM: I saw this and told my boyfriend about it all excited so he could maybe go pick up something for me....then I remembered that I have all of the released G4s :whistle:

I don't think there's any way I can say to him, "Well, I was thinking of getting some to keep boxed...." without him calling me insane :lol:

Title: Re: Fri & Sat Only - BOGO MLP at TRU!
Post by: cesprins on March 30, 2012, 10:44:58 AM: Could someone pick up the sweetie belle and fluttershy train cars, or two fluttershy cars? Unfortunately they didn't have them by me.
Title: Re: Fri & Sat Only - BOGO MLP at TRU!
Post by: Sunset on March 30, 2012, 12:12:59 PM: I'm extremely disappointed. My TRU didn't have anything new! In fact they don't have any of the singles in stock except for the big wingers. I was really hoping they would have the luggage ponies or the train cars. No such luck! I even talked to a staff member and she said everything they had was out on the shelf. She was also surprised that there were extra cars that went with the train. Hello! pictures are right there on the package! I'm getting extremely frustrated at not being able to find the train cars.

I didn't go away empty handed though. I bought two extra trains for the extra track.

I'll go back and check after work tonight sweetie. If they have them still, I'll pick them up for you. I get out of work at 8 tonight:)

I was at TRU Thursday, and there was a big sale... Most big items marked down about 5$, and the singles/luggage were about 4$ to match Walmart prices. I don't know if they are doing 2for1 this weekend.

Failing that... my Kroger has one of each. I can't remember how much... but they are probably on par with TRU (tho not at the B1G1 FREE price...) If nothing else... I'll go snag them for ya.... if you need them. ;)

My TRU was pretty well stocked... tho they only had Pinkie, Twilight and Rarity on the luggage singles... >.< But I came home with four of the Glimmer Wings! I'll definately pay $4.50 a pop rather than $10 ea! :lol:
Title: Re: Fri & Sat Only - BOGO MLP at TRU!
Post by: Rococo on March 30, 2012, 02:49:50 PM: I got FS Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy and Glimmer Wings Rarity and Ploomette. It's actually kind of annoying that they looked fine in store with the store lighting but I brought them into natural sunlight and you can see the small little errors they had. :drunk: Oh well, for a BOGO free sale it's kind of hard to complain about it too much. I'm still gonna keep them in their boxes so if I ever find them without imperfections in the near future I can switch them out. xD
Title: Re: Fri & Sat Only - BOGO MLP at TRU!
Post by: cards4me on March 30, 2012, 03:22:12 PM: Disappointed. Went to TRU this morning and they didn't restock. Had very little, left without any ponies.

The local TRU restocked a little. But not much interesting.

How are the train sets selling in other areas of the US and anywhere else in the world that they are available?
Title: Re: Fri & Sat Only - BOGO MLP at TRU!
Post by: hyenacub on March 30, 2012, 04:17:19 PM: mom and I both got two G4s XD I got Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. She decided she liked Pinkie Pie and Rarity. She's a lot like Rarity in that she's a clotheshorse. XDD

The train sets don't seem to be selling fast here in Canada. The individual ponies seem to have pretty good turnover. Lots of stuff is marked down though, so we'll see after this weekend! I still need my luggage Rarity and Fluttershy to complete the mane six. I don't think they can keep Fashion Style Rainbow Dash on the shelves.

We were gawking at Rarity's fashion carousel the other day, mostly because it plays the theme song!

Post by: Flitter on March 30, 2012, 04:37:46 PM: I'm not planning on checking out the bogo (I went to TRU less than a week ago and they had the same things they've had for a while) but... I'm hoping some stock gets cleared out this weekend then they get some new items after. C'mon Cherry Pie & Diamond Rose! :D

Thank you! I was hoping to get them for the bogo sale, but I'd rather pick them up somehow. I may not see them since distribution is wonky for g4. I'll let you know if michelle can't find them!

The two toys r us that are near me had only the big train sets.... but that's alright. Because I now have 5 total train track sets to play with!!!!!!!! Yes, I am crazy!! Also I picked up the two variations of diamond rose's hair. Very excited for them as well. :frolic:

I'd trade you my Cherry Pie and Diamond Rose for Fluttershy and Rarity! (Luggage versions)

Title: Re: Fri & Sat Only - BOGO MLP at TRU!
Post by: KtKat on March 30, 2012, 05:08:07 PM: The Toys R Us I went to (Austin, TX at Tech Ridge) had about 3 boxes worth of blind bags out! 2 full boxes, then at least one box worth hanging up where singles would usually be o.O I picked up FS Pinkie and FS Rainbow Dash, then 2 of the blind bags I was missing. Wish I could have got more! With my receipt came a coupon for $5 off my next purchase of $25 or more, so perhaps that will go to the wedding castle!
:frolic:

Awww, darn it! I think I'll pass then, thank you for checking though. I can always order just the one sweetie belle off the hasbrotoyshop.

If anyone else can find fluttershy and sweetie belle train sets or two fluttershy's, please pick them up for me! I will be forever indebted. :worshippy:
Title: Re: Fri & Sat Only - BOGO MLP at TRU!
Post by: michelle53 on March 30, 2012, 05:47:16 PM: I bought them anyway! I'd certainly be willing to sell them for $6.50 each since I paid $12.99 for 2:)
If anyone wants one, message me privately.

Post by: Wysteria on March 30, 2012, 07:05:53 PM: Thanks so much for posting this! I was able to adjust 3 receipts to todays sale and loaded up on pony bait:D I actually found 3 diamond roses for customs and both hair variations for me :) Sadly no train cars either but I was just excited to see full pony shelves:)

Title: Re: Fri & Sat Only - BOGO MLP at TRU!
Post by: cesprins on March 31, 2012, 09:06:54 PM: So what did everyone pick up from the sale?

I got a bunch of train sets using the buy one get one free, plus the manufacture's coupon for $5 off the train/cars. So I got a bunch of extra trackage for $7 per set. I think I'll should post my first brag about this...

Title: Re: Fri & Sat Only - BOGO MLP at TRU!
Post by: Rococo on March 31, 2012, 09:13:26 PM: I got FS Twilight Sparkle, FS, and PP, Glimmer Wings Ploomette and Rarity, and So Soft Newborn Sunny Daze (last one for my little niece).

She wasn't too keen in FS RD but she really likes Sunny Daze, probably because of her adorable voice and size.

You had a carousel boutique? Lucky! I have not been able to find one Anywhere near me and I have tons of places nearby that carry ponies. :(

Post by: Rhini on March 31, 2012, 09:57:19 PM: I couldn't find any ponies I wanted, so I opted for LPS instead. I've been waiting for the Zebra set to go on sale, so I got one of the new baby sets, and got it for free! Doesn't get much cheaper than free :P

My boyfriend got me good with this....he sent me an email titled "Wedding Ponies" with no text in it and just a picture... which just ended up making me go :huh:

Clicked on the picture and it was the Friendship Express train and a Diamond Rose that he picked up for me :lol:
No train cars were there though
