It would seem that Toys R Us just love having LEGO sales. With their 20% Off Selected Sets sale wrapping up yesterday, we were starting to worry that LEGO fans were going to have to pay full price.
Luckily, Toys R Us have decided that the best follow-up to a LEGO sale is an even better LEGO sale.
From Wednesday 3rd September 2014 until Tuesday 16th Toys R Us are doing Buy 1, Get 1 Half Price on selected themes. That works out at 25% off for two identically priced items.
Themes included in the sale are
- Technic
- TMNT
- Chima
- City
- Friends
- Creator
Shoppers are also allowed to mix and match across themes. For example you can get 50% off a Creator set when you buy a Friends set. Half price item must be of equal or lesser value.
You can check out the catalogue here, or browse the sale online here
It doesn’t work out to 25% off anymore when I try online with 4 items 2×19.99 and 2×29.99, 50% off is given to lowest 2 items. By right it should be 19.9+10+29.9+15 = 74.8 however it shown as 10+10+29.99+29.99 = 79.98. That is 5.18 difference. I am not sure about checkout at retail shop.
When you are buying more than 2 items in this sort of sale they will usually apply the discount to the lowest priced items. To take full advantage of the offer you would need to split the sale in to two transactions; first for the two $29.99 sets and the second for the two $19.99 sets. That doesn’t really work online, as you would need to pay twice the delivery charge.
Hooray extra straight track for my railway! 🙂
