I was a TRU at Cedabrae Mall and they had the following RoC vehicles and sets on sale.
Alpha Vehicles are now $9.99
No Bravo Vehicles in stock to verify price
Night Raven are now $39.99
Attack on GI Joe Pit are now $29.99
Everything else was showing regular price and thier scanner was out of order to scan myself.
-
good news, I hope other TRUs have the same sales.
-
I will hit our TRU at Markville Mall tonight after work as I know they still have Bravo vehicles in stock.
-
Smaller ones are on sale on line:

I would buy online but paying an extra 4-5 dollars for shipping defeats the purpose of getting it on sale for me...
-
I was able to scan the items at the TRU in Markville. Yes morgrdee only the Alpha vehicles are on sale :( The Bravo vehicles are still $35.
-
Confirmed, I went to the TRU at Bayview and 7, alpha 10 dollars, Mars 3 pack 15 dollars, combat heroes 5 dollars, attack of pit 30 dollars. Singles and Bravo are still normal price (for now). I managed to get 2 mantis, a mars 3 pack for customs (finally can do a new snowbank with the red lamprey) (edit: damn I love these black/red lampreys will be hard to give one up to make a snowbank), and also got a rockslide from TRU and the 10 dollar ice dagger and cobra gunship for my neice and nephew. All thanks to your heads up guys, you are the greatest! Now if only theyd mark down the bravo, b/c I saw a lot of steel crushers.
are you still looking for a mantis Morgardee? Ill try and make another run this week or weekend to a TRU or 2.

Well I thought I would dig up this old thread for a lark.
Sadly this is no joke.
TRU at Hilda/Steeles (near Yonge) still has the TRU exclusive Sting Raider for $29.99. How many you ask? Why 12!!!!!!!!!
Oh and they still have 6!!!!! Cobra Gunships for $34.99.
Seriously, what the hell? The are clearancing SW and TF stuff like crazy, but this can sit on the shelves for how long at regular price? C'mon TRU.
Forgot to mention this is where I picked up a sealed ROC PITT about 2 months ago for $50, so they can do something, but just aren't.

Ask them if they are willing to discount them.
They will want to clear the stuff before they get the next movie stuff in, and asking might tip off the manager that some interest might justify discounting.
I was able to get a DC Universe 2-pack set for $10 ( down from $30), and was told the manager can discount something right down to 10 cents, if he wanted to--but would likely take heat for it from the head office.
Would those sets sell for $10? They likely would, and fast enough to make the store happy.
The stock-folks at TRU don't like having to carry old product when they have new stuff sitting in the back--they want to get it out on the pegs.
Doesn't hurt to ask.

Hey do they still have any leftover Mobile Pits?? Ive been looking for that for a while.

pretty sure the markham toysrus has one. saw it a few weeks ago up on the top of the shelfs, not near the joe figs, but somewhere in that area. i thinkm it was on clearance for like $49 or something. I would call them before going to mke sure its still there.

It's funny, my impression of TRU is quite the opposite of this. Of course it varies, but I find TRU is generally very slow to clearance product. I still remember finally picking up a Shadows of the Empire Slave I four years after it came out. They had a good 1/2 dozen of them sitting on the top shelf in the rafters with beat up boxes for a couple years before finally marking them down. Literally four years went by though. Having said that though, they recently marked down the vintage Y-Wings to $30 after only having them for a few months. So, yeah, it varies...
I wouldn't mind another water moccasin for customizing if they ever marked them down, as it was always one of my favourite vehicles. So I'm waiting for them to get marked down...

These were right on the shelves, under the pegs. So you can't miss them, but for some reason they won't budge on the price.
