Hey guys :wave:
I went to TRU today and they had quite a few sets 75% off!! I ended up getting a few Egyptian sets...... :-[ But at those prices, who could resist? :love:
If you have one nearby, you should definitely check it out.
-
75% OFF ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
:o :o :o
I need to move to the US :hissyfit:
-
Looks like they may be making room for new sets. It would be nice to get the caveman series early like we did the zoo and treasure hunter theme.
-
You read that right- 75% off! I had a $10 off coupon, so I got 4246 (house), 4247 (robbers on camels), and 4244 (chariot) for $20 US ;D I would have bought another house, but I already got the last one. They are definitely clearancing the Egyptian theme and a couple other themes, hopefully making room for the new themes :crossed:
-
:o :o :o
are there pyramids and temples left?
-
Not the one I went to, but I'm sure that varies store by store.
-
Only about 4 random small sets on 75% off at our TRU today. Nothing Egyptian left.
Looks like they are clearing out space for new stuff. Nothing else was on sale. Last weekend all PM was 25% off. Just depends on the store nearest you.
Cheers, Pgal :wave:

There's lots of egyptians left at my TRU! I was there a couple of days ago, and they had two or three pyramids, I think at least one graverobbers tomb, and a couple dozen of these: http://playmodb.org/setpics/4245.jpg , possibly some pharoah's temples, I think? The sale is "up to %75 percent off when you take an extra %25 off all clearance-priced sets." So they do come pretty cheap. :yup:

So is the pyramid cheaper than the $64 that is was a while ago?
Do you recall any other prices?
If a chariot sold for $20 getting it for $5 is quite a bargain

Please let me know if you are going back there. ;D

:lol: You want to add something to your queu, Gaston? :P
@Ras, I'll go back and check those prices. I didn't pay really close attention, because I'm trying not to buy at the moment. But I'll let you know.
-
:lol: You want to add something to your queu, Gaston? :P
Not me....my addiction. :lol:
Im interested in the ship most of all. :( or the house or the one you posted. :)
-
PM me. I'm not sure which ones you're referring to about the house and the one I posted. ??? The ship... they might have had one...
-
OMG I don't need the egyptians at the moment but this sale is so irresistible! Bonnie would you mind getting some for me? :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
-
:lol: Sure, PM me with what you're looking for, I'm going tonight for Gaston.

I was near TRU today so I checked some prices (I might even have bought a few things :-[)
Anyway, the sale is stated as "up to 75% off" so that means 25% off the current price (half of original price) for clearance items rather than 25% off the original price. For example:
4240 Pyramid is now $48.73 ($64.98 less 25%)
4244 Chariot is now $7.48 ($9.98 less 25%)
4825 Firefighters Water Pump is now $11.23 ($14.98 less 25%) - they aso had the 4822 Fire Chief with Car on clearance but I didn't check the price
4345 Vet with Car is now $8.23 ($10.98 less 25%)
These were the only Playmobil clearance items available at my local TRU. :)

Ugh. I called 5 TRU stores within a 90 mile radius and all of them were out of the pyramid, Sphynx, and tomb :( Sorry for venting, but if I have to pay full price, Aaron will never let me buy the rest of the set ::)

Even if you can't find the sets you want at a TRU near you, also try Tuesday Morning, TJMaxx, and Marshall's in the near future - they often get the clearance stuff a little later so you might have some luck, especially this fall once the stores start setting up for the Christmas holiday. ::) Also, if it's not too much of a pain, keep checking at TRU as there may be some sets that are returned.

are the clearences in certain fixed period or periods of the year?

Toys R Us :)
Thanks. I couldn't figure that one out, maybe because the "R" wasn't backwards! :lol:
Our Tuesday Morning is the best place to look for deals. But it's feast or famine. Last Christmas they had a ton of Roman amphitheaters. Recently they haven't had diddly squat.

I will probably check the local TRU today. Last time I was there all they had left were pyramids and a couple of the chariots.
Don't know if I will be able to justify getting any of them though it's one of my favorite themes. eBay has been sucking up my budget lately (Ha - as if I keep to some sort of budget!)
-

It looked like they were geting ready for an inventory count as there were little forms taped to the shelves next to each different product. Retail stores will often schedule a clearance sale to occur just before they do an inventory count because, that way, there is less inventory to count! :)
-
Went in today and the only Egyptian set they had was the 4247 Two Camels set. I got two of them so I have enough now for a small caravan. :)
-
Mine has a couple of pyramids, a chariot, and several sets of egyptian soldiers, plus LOTS of other playmobil on clearance.
-
I went into one TRU that had lots of clearance items. Tons of Egyptian sets, Circus Arena ($50), Retired Camper 3647 ($20), Retired Skating Park ($17), and some others.
