Of course Toys R Us starts liquidation on a dreary overcast day…
There is literally no way I can possibly make this news happy. The final liquidation sale for the largest toy realtor officially began today.
The liquidation sales posters currently currently hanging up in Toys R Us toy stores state the entire store is up to 30% off. While that poster is true, and there is indeed inventory marked as 30% off, the up to part is the most important aspect of the sign.
After spending about 4 hours in three different Toys R Us stores, I took note of the trends in the sale prices. Which you will be able to find after the break.
- Most of the inventory in Toys R Us is 10% off.
- Action Figures
- Boys Collectibles
- Girls Collectibles (My Little Pony Toys)
- Dolls
- Board/Yard Games
- Bikes
- Ride-able Toys
- Movies/Music
- LEGOs and similar Construction Toys are 5% off
- Meaning LEGOs at TRU in Liquidation are only 15% more expensive than on Amazon.
- Video Games are 5% off.
- Includes Toys to Life properties like Amiibo, Skylanders, Lego Dimensions, Disney Infinity
- Note: this is 5% off MSRP. Disney Infinity starter sets were priced at under $2.00 prior to liquidation.
- Easter Inventory is 20% off.
- Party Supplies are 30% off.
- Clothing in Babies R Us section of combined TRU/BRU stores are 20% off.
- All other inventory in BRU is 10% off.
- Diapers, wipes, cosmetics, food, and baby formula are not on liquidation sale at this time.
Mark downs will continue to increase as the weeks go by. If you have a Toys R Us gift card, make use of it now. It will not be honored once April 21st hits.
