4473 Research Submarine 1/2 Price at Toys R Us
« on: December 02, 2010, 14:43:31 »
I guess the title says it all.  The 4473 Research Submarine is 1/2 Price at Toys R Us.

They have a lot of stuff on the shelves, nothing really different, but the Canadian Toys R Us website itself seems to have  hardly anything now.

They still have the 5783 Eagle Castle and lots of the Pirates Prison 5775 - but they are not on sale, even though they have not been on the Toys R Us website since they had them on sale for 40% off.

I have found the 4473 research sub at half price (£14.99) at Toymaster (Harrogate, UK) and bought two - one for my son and one for my nephew.  It may be on special offer widely.

When I got mine from a seller on eBay, it came in a Playmobil brown box along with the exploration ship & deep diver sent to dealers for display purposes. Although everything had been opened, the price I finally paid was more due to all of the sets being an oddity. I wish I had gotten this great price in the end :hissyfit:!
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

I have seen those type of auctions on ebay.ca.  When there was one for the same stuff you got in a promo box the whole thing sold for about $60 or $65.  I think the smaller diving bell type sub was also included, but I could be wrong.  This was a year and a half ago, I think.  Sadly, I missed the end of the auction.
