G'day folks,
This is a shopping issue but it's Canada-only so I'll post
it here.
Right around Xmas I was in Saint John, N.B. checking prices
on the new Star Wars sets. This is what I found:
TRU Walmart Zellers
7166 Imperial Shuttle $36 $45 ??
7127 AT-ST $13.50 $15 $15
7186 Watto's Junkyard $43 ?? ??
Some prices I don't have, likely because those stores
didn't have that item.
I remember noting that TRU had the deals-to-beat, so I
decided to wait for one of their 20%-off sales for these
items. Well right now they have a sale that was good
enough for me to get a 7166 and 7127 and effectively
save 27% before taxes. So I went off to TRU to pick them
up and found the prices were now:
7166 $45
7127 $15
7186 $70(!!)
Did I miss something here?? Why were the prices posted
on the shelves in Saint John, N.B., so much lower? Has
TRU up their prices? Has anyone else seen these prices
that I saw at Xmas? I'm pretty bummed I didn't pick them
up then. $43 for a 7186 looks like a real steal now compared
to the $70 I saw today! :[
