TRU got to my complaint today. They cancelled the order, refunded my CC, and gave me a $50 online gift certificate. Not too bad, but, now I don't have 900 pieces of Lego. (25 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

To all, I went to TRU last night on a rare night off to get some LEGO. I went there, the store is finally calming down, it looked decent (Well, they moved to a new store, but it is still TRU) and went to the LEGO aisle. They restocked it to some (...)

TRU didn't send any email at all except my receipt on 12/25. It looks like they believe they stuffed a Mos Espa into that tiny box. I'll have to call that number and wait on queue. (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
