Nicee! Don't you work for TRU? If so, Employee discount??

[pacey]

I do. The discount is only 10% off. I just lucked out that last nights truck had BOPPV elite and basic on it. It was the first time my store got them. ALL the other tru's in the area have had them before.

Nice haul man. Christmas came early. LOL.

I feel sorry for whoever shops at your TRU, you can actually get fired for that, my buddy used to work at TRU and people would lose their jobs for holding stuff or hiding it to later buy it.

Ya I was intrigued by the potential of this so I did the math. It's pretty interesting.

Mathematically speaking someone last week could have bought any elite for $20, and 2 separate $40 (b2, g1 + free undertakers)...gone back today and returned the single purchased elite for $20 to get 3 figures via the 50% discount of b2g1...and then gotten a price adjustment on their other separate purchases...so for a grand total of $60...the person would get:

3 elites + undertaker for $20 *2 = $40 (8 figures)
3 elites for $20 (for returning single purchased elite) (3 figures)
+2 build a figures
+ COO HHH (f you did the transaction like last week)
(then we assume you trade your extra undertaker)

so if you had a nice TRU that let you put the b2g1 towards any elites...you would get 14 unique elite figures for $60.

I haven't done the match on the basic yet...but I think it would be almost double that! Also, if you got TRU to price match wal marts elite price at $16...it would cost you like $45-50.

That's insane!

My store is pretty cool about the holds, as long as you buy your stuff on payday. If you don't buy it by the Sunday after payday, the boss usually puts your stuff back out. Like I said, the truck came in last night and I lucked out.

As far as feeling sorry for anyone who shops at my store, don't. Mine is actually one of the best stocked trus b/c I know the product and make sure that there is nothing in my backroom. We marked the old survivor series carded cena's down to $2.90 over the summer so that we could get new basics in.

Also tonight a grandma came in to buy the cell and more wwe stuff with her coupon..... I helped her get the the cell, a wwe kids belt, boppv miz, boppv big show, free boppv cena, free undertaker, boppv basic rock, basic kane, basic sheamus, and a 2pack Ziggler/Ryder all for her grandson. She was happy and her grandson will be too. She spent $103 and change.

What area do you live in? I really want that rock, but no luck at the 3 TRU around me.

[MrPerfect25]

Awesome day bro! I always wondered what TRU policy was on employee purchases.

[Chewdeezy]

Nice pick ups! That's the perk of the job.

[onleeone643]

It might sound funny the way it came out on my part, but I guess the reason I say that is because I worked at Kb toys many years ago and I remember my boss was very strict on employee's making purchases on hot items or collectibles. The rule was that you had to mandatory put the stock on the floor and then if it was available at the end of the day then you can make your purchase. I also worked at target for about a year, and there they actually watch the cameras closely for employees hiding stuff to later purchase. I'm just saying this from experience. But anyhow you scored some good deals.

p.s. Beware of feisty collectors, I once had a scalper punk call the district manager on me because I scored the series 1 McFarlane Kobe Bryant chase figure variant wearing the purple road Jersey. Lol

[megapowerspt]

Is the Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale work on elites? I tried at my TRU with E17 and she said I only qualified for the free Undertaker.

[Deleted]

Nice haul. Would have been better if they were all elites. Honestly i opened this thinking yea 14 basics so i was surprised

We can be fired for holding stuff and hiding stuff.. But he didn't say he did that. All he said was that they had the truck (overnight trucks this time of year). So he probably came into work and saw them and bought them before he clocked in...nothing done wrong.
