ToysRUs Rip off Prices !!!

Post by legofactory »

Toysrus has been know for high price toy products. Such as the limited edition lego republic cruiser that is retail at 119.99 which TRU sells them for 129.99.
However, Recently, toysrus in canada has raised their prices up in lego AGAIN ...
At first i thought it was only the USa since their value for dollar has dropped. Real Sad that they raise our prices too.

All Sets Under $10 are either raised up by $1-$2.
All* $12.99 Sets raised to $13.99
Most $26.99 Sets raised to $27.99
Some $54.99 Sets raised to $56.99

The affected lego sets includes indiana jones, city, batman, star wars, mars mission and more..
I'm really unhappy with them doing this especially their so called "price match" policy is when prices are listed in fliers and not regular prices.

At the moment, when your planning to purchase regular priced items, i suggest going to superstore. Their prices are always a bit lower than the average retail price. Where as toysrus are always a bit higher than the average retail price.

Example.
Lego Jedi Starfighter
Superstore $24.98
Toysrus $27.99
Lego Hailfire Droid
Superstore $24.98
Toysrus $27.99

Yup, blame the high oil prices. It's had a major effect on TLG's margins, and their pricing.
