Our Crazy Deal of the Decade!
« on: March 23, 2014, 17:18:02 »
Chris and I were out and about and we decided to stop in at our local Toys R Us and see if they had anything new. They were having a 20% off sale on items less than $50, and there were also a few things on clearance, so we used a price scanner to check a few prices and were debating what to buy. Then we noticed a really beat up 5923, the smaller TRU exclusive school (exactly like the other, but without the bathrooms), and we thought it might be marked down. So we scanned it. Normal retail price, $105. Sale price $16.80!!!! :love: It was the only one on the shelves, so of course we bought it! Then we decided to just check and see at customer service if they had any more in the back. They did, and they were all marked down to that same price on clearance as they are discontinued. So we got three schools for 50 bucks! All the boxes are beat up, but hey, who cares! We are going to have a blast with all that system x! WOOHOO!!!! :woohoo:

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Awesome find!

You will be able to put them together to make a mega-school set.

Or just put two together and give the third away to a very good little child who may enjoy it (I get a lot of satisfaction out of finding inexpensive sets and then gifting them to those who otherwise may not have access to any Playmobil - I have a 3666 castle and a 3269 castle to give to my nephews - I just don't know if I should gift both at once or one for a birthday and the other for Christmas (or Easter).

That is a fantastic find Bonnie  - well done for spotting it :D 
You're going to have great fun using it,  I look forward to seeing what you build with it all.
