BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
The world’s biggest toy store is planning to make a big impact at SDCC next week. And even if you can’t make the Con, you’ll find some great sales at Toys R Us stores.
Con Exclusives to load your cart with
There’s a lot of stuff to like from TRU at this SDCC. Like, a lot. Whether you’re a TMNT fan, a Halo buff, or love the Transformers, there’s something for you to take home.
Some of the following will be only available on the show floor at Comic Con (starting on the 21st) though a few items will be purchasable online as well. For the Con-exclusives and all the rest, I’ll direct you to the Entertainment Earth booth (#2343).
They’ll have a nifty Power Rangers communicator and a metallic Bumblebee from Funko right there, in addition to most of the online exclusives. So if you’re going to be at the Con, you can take almost all this stuff home with you and not have to wait for shipping. Almost.
There is one thing that won’t be there, and that’s the Star Wars Black Series Droid 3-pack. So if that’s what you’re looking for, then you’ll absolutely have to go online.
Sales in store
Now, if you’re not going to Comic Con (like most of the world), then you should be happy with those online sales I mentioned. And you should also take advantage of a bunch of sales that Toys R Us will be having in-store.
The surprisingly good sales will be both percentages off the ticketed prices, and twofers. The discounts will be good both in stores and online too, so if you don’t see something on the shelf, you might find it on TRU’s site.
Sales start on the 17th (this Sunday) and run through the 23rd. Here’s what they will look like:
- 2 for $30 ALL WWE Elite figures
- 2 for $15 ALL Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles basic figures
- 2 for $30 ALL Marvel Legends products
- 2 for $30 ALL Star Wars The Black Series products
- 40% OFF Select HALO action figures
- 20% OFF ALL Tube Heroes figures, plush & role play
- 20% OFF ALL Jada Metals figures
- 20% OFF ALL Pokémon figures, plush & role play
- BOGO FREE Select Diamond Select Toys Marvel Minimates
- ALL Funko POPs $8.99
And as for the Comic Con stuff, again, that’ll either be online at TRU’s site or at the Con itself in Entertainment Earth’s booth. Or both, depending.
Here’s your rundown on that:
