Nice score Izret. Especially that Dreamcast Gameshark. I don't know if it's rare or not, but it is cool. Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Izret101 on December 30, 2004, 01:06:49 PM There were about 20 DC Gamesharks there. All of the older stuff they had in plasti cases like that had a wierd tint to them.
I grabbed but forgot to bring to the check out a PS composit cable. It was 2 and some change. Can't remember if it was green tagged. Good luck with your search Sauza. Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: den68 on January 01, 2005, 01:44:44 PM off to Toys R Us it is then.
Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Izret101 on January 01, 2005, 02:02:02 PM Best of luck to ya Den.
I just found out the strategy guides where all marked down too but they had no notification of it. Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: den68 on January 02, 2005, 04:19:13 PM I only had time to hit one Toys R Us. Here's what I got:
Primal - PS2 - $4.50 R:Racing Evolution - Game Cube - $4.50 Strategy Guides: Yu Yu Hakesho Spirit Detective - GBA - $2.98 Prince of Persia Sands of Time - $4.50 Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Sauza12 on January 03, 2005, 07:11:29 AM Woot! Nice call on the TRU Izret! Here's what I got;
Primal - PS2 Mad Maestro! - PS2 XIII - PS2 Castlevania Lament of Innocence - PS2 R-Type Final - PS2 Ejay Clubworld - PS2 I spent just over $40, but I spenty 15 on R-Type and 12 on Castlevania, so theoretically I spent $13 for 4 games. And just so I don't have to start another thread for these, I also found; 4 NIB Dreamcast controllers Tekken - PSX Gauntlet 4 - Genesis Phantasy Star Online - DC and I only spent $10 on all of that after a $10 gift card. Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: den68 on January 03, 2005, 08:35:42 AM what TRU did you snag Castlevania at? were there more? I'd like that one.
Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Sauza12 on January 03, 2005, 10:35:39 AM It was at the TRU at Seven Mile and Middlebelt across from Livonia Mall. If you want I can grab you a copy and we can meet up somewhere.
On another note, I stopped by another one on my lunch and picked up Perfect Dark (N64) and Tennis 2K2 (DC) for $3 a piece. Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Izret101 on January 03, 2005, 10:45:41 AM Does anyone know how long this is going on for?

On another note, I stopped by another one on my lunch and picked up Perfect Dark (N64) and Tennis 2K2 (DC) for $3 a piece. for $12 bucks, hell yeah! if you don't mind that would be great, thanks man! the Livonia TRU used to be a weekly stop for me. right after I picked up my comic books at Classic Movie and Comic Center. Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Sauza12 on January 04, 2005, 07:07:52 AM @ Den, no problem. I'll pick it up after work today. I'll send you a PM with my phone number so we can work out a time and place.
@ Izret, I don't know how long it's going on for, but I think they might just keep some stuff at 70% off until they sell @Everyone in general, I went to another Toys R Us yesterday and made an odd find. I got: Sega Marine Fishing - DC Jungle Book - Game Gear Pebble Beach Golf Links - Genesis This find is odd because I haven't seen Game Gear or Genesis games in TRU for at least 5 years. Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Izret101 on January 04, 2005, 07:10:32 AM Thats wicked cool.
I can't even find DC games in stores anymore so its cool to find even older stuff.

If you want I can grab you a copy and we can meet up somewhere. I use to go to that store as a kid. Did you stop at Big Boys right there to get some food? If it is still there that is. Quote the Livonia TRU used to be a weekly stop for me. right after I picked up my comic books at Classic Movie and Comic Center. Another store I use to shop at. I bought a Uncanny X-Men #1 there long long ago. Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: bum-man on January 04, 2005, 04:50:02 PM Based on what I am reading it appears a trip to TRU is in store for me tomorrow. I hope they have the same deal going on in my area!
Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Sauza12 on January 05, 2005, 07:26:31 AM @ Bum-man, from what I've seen and heard it's a chain wide sale. They should have it at any stores near you.
@Tynstar that Big Boys is sadly long gone. :( There is a Firestone in it's place now. On the bright side Peranis is now in the old Kids R Us building. 2500 square feet of hockey goodness :inlove: Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Tynstar on January 05, 2005, 07:29:04 AM Quote @Tynstar that Big Boys is sadly long gone. :( There is a Firestone in it's place now.

Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: bum-man on January 05, 2005, 04:56:32 PM The sign said 50% off but everything ran up at 70%. They didn't have much left but I picked up all the DC titles they had, I don't have a system to play them on but I couldn't resist the prices. Here's what I got:
WS Baseball 2K1 - $1.50 Bass Fishing - $1.50 Virtua Tennis - $1.50 South Park: Chef's Luv Shack - $2.25 Tony Hawk Pro Skating - $3.00 I also picked up a DC RF Adaper for 59 cents and a N64 Power Supply for $1.75. Between this and some finds in the WILD (including a Panasonic 3DO FZ-1 with 2 Controllers and Star Control 2 game for $10.00) this has been a good year so far. Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Sauza12 on January 06, 2005, 06:25:58 AM Yeah, I gotta agree with you there. The year isn't even a week old and I have already got 20 games.
btw, I got more stuff from TRU myself (I can't stop....). I grabbed them when I was buying Den's game. Sega Bass Fishing Greatest hits version (DC) NFL 2K3 (Xbox) Indiana Jones and the Emporers Tomb (Xbox) all for about $15. Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: den68 on January 07, 2005, 05:14:52 AM I went to another TRU last night and grabbed a couple more strategy guides for $2 bucks each.
Soul Caliber II and Medal of Honor Rising Sun Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Izret101 on January 07, 2005, 06:27:53 AM Which SC II guide is it?
Is it the one that has the soundtrack in it? Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: den68 on January 07, 2005, 07:25:32 AM no, just a standard guide.
Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Izret101 on February 10, 2005, 03:29:18 AM ALL GREEN TAGS NOW 90% OFF.
Just thought i would share. Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Sauza12 on February 10, 2005, 07:11:10 AM And I get paid tomorrow. I think I just got wood! Let me check.........oh yeah! Houston we are at full turgidity!
Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: den68 on February 10, 2005, 08:03:45 AM might be worth a look to comb through the remains.
Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Izret101 on February 10, 2005, 11:33:41 AM Sucks that im brke.

($1-2) 20,000+ hint/code book($.50-1.50) Intec PSOne screen($10) DC Allstars 3 game sports pack (both if they have different games packaged)($1-2) Random (probably shitty) PS games ($2-5) Walkthru guides and maybe some GBA stuff for all of 25ish bucks.(if i only bought what i said here) Good luck everyone on finding something good Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: den68 on February 12, 2005, 03:38:52 PM I went to a couple TRU's last night. I grabbed another copy of the Yu Yu Hakesho Spirit Detective guide (for Anti), Zelda Windwaker guide and a GAmeshark code book. I spent $3 bucks.
Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Sauza12 on February 14, 2005, 06:47:05 AM I only got a chance to go to one TRU over the weekend and got
MLB 2003 (PSX) MLB 2004 (PSX) Triple Play Baseball (PSX) Reel Fishing - greatest hits(PSX) Grand Theft Auto 2 - greatest hits (PSX) Space Invaders (GBA) All this for a grand total of $13. According to my reciept I saved $116. Not too shabby. I'm probably going to go back and grab an armful of guides. from what i saw, they shouldn't be more than .80 cents a piece. Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Sauza12 on February 16, 2005, 07:58:02 AM Alright! I stopped by the last TRU in my area and this is what I got:
2x rechargable battery for GBC GBA power station PS One carrying case Yu Yu Hakusho Guide THUG Guide Medal Of Honor Rising Sun Guide Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker guide World Series Baseball 2K2 (DC) Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX (DC) Spirit: Stallion of the Cimeron (GBA) Dungeons and Dragons: Eye of the Beholder (GBA) The total for all of this was $15.90. My total saved was $134.75. My friendly cashiers name was Harold. Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: den68 on February 16, 2005, 10:58:18 AM which TRU was and and did they have any more of the Spirit game. I'd like to get that one?
Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Izret101 on February 16, 2005, 11:02:23 AM I am going to just keep trying to get enough change to fill coin rolls then i am going to TRU.
I can't believe the savings you guys got. Saying 90% off is one thing but hearing I spent about $15 and saved about $135 puts real figures into your head. And you got alot of stuff too. Anyone else besides Den and Sauza (and hopefully me soon)hitting up Toy R Us? Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Sauza12 on February 17, 2005, 06:18:52 AM I went to the TRU at Telegraph and 12 mile. They had just opened up a case of 48 copies of the game, so yeah I think that they should have a few more copies.
Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: den68 on February 17, 2005, 07:22:12 AM damn I was just there Friday too. perhaps a nice Sunday drive is in order.
Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: den68 on February 17, 2005, 03:56:30 PM stopped at a closer TRU on the way home from work today and got the following strategy guides:
WWE Day of Reckoning NBA Live 2005 Burnout 3 MArio & Luigi Superstar Saga MAfia Ninja Gaiden DBZ Buu's Fury MArio PArty 5 Super MArio 3 Transformers 007 Everything or Nothing I paid... 12 cents I saved... $164.77!! Title: Re: TRU 70% off finds Post by: Izret101 on February 17, 2005, 03:58:14 PM JESUS
That is amazing. I have to get my ass to the local Toy R Us Are all strat guides 90% of or are the somehow marked? I didn't notice anything on them when i was there.
