hnybee411 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 The longest I'll wait in line outside a store is half an hour. I figure if I don't get what I came after I wasn't meant to have it and move on to plan B. I've got to get a little sleep before my shopping marathon so I plan to leave my house about 11 which means I'll get there about 11:30 or so. My cousin will be with me so we'll rotate one in line and one in the warm car until opening. She's not buying anything anyway, she's just going to stand in line for me inside the store while I shop. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen8112 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I wonder if it opening at midnight if there will be more or less people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braylan1 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I think I'll be lining up at 10 and after I get what I need I'm running over to JCP for the free snow globe and then back to TRU for the 5a doorbusters. Oh and maybe catch some breakfast and coffee in between TRU 12a and 5a sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnc_mom Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 I am keeping my fingers crossed for less! Last years check out lines were insane!I know did your store have the lanes roped off too! I couldnt stand that! but i must say we got to check out quicker that way but i ended up missing alot of stuff! I think at 12 my store will have more people then not so many at 5 am thats what im hoping for because i dont wanna have to wait in check out line for 2 hrs when i go to get the 5am db's TRU is the only store opeing at 12 here we dont have any outlets or anything. I think most people in my area go to kohls and best buy and wm so i think they will all be at those stores so i can have tru all to my self...ahhh thats a nice thought! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmck Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Some sales are all day Fri and Sat will they be available at midnight? I want a few things from the midnight sale and a few from the two day sale I don't want to make two trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassMomx5 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I'm confused how they are doing it. Won't the doorbusters sell out by 5am? Or are the re-closing the store, and then re-opening? This is bizzare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnc_mom Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 ok so heres what i have so far..... if you want Midnight DOORBUSTERS(the items that have midnight till 1pm above them) Then id say get there in line around 9:30-10. You SHOULD be able to get the 2 day sale items(Marked Fri-SAt above the item on the ad) At that time too! Then if you want the 5 am DOORBUSTERS too then you will have to go back to the store Probably around 330-4 am and it will be open and probably packed! to get the items that say 5am-till 1pm above them. If you only want the 2 day sale items anytime should be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only want the 2 day sale items anytime should be fine! I think this is insane how they are doing it. Why not just open earlier than usual, like 4am, and do all the door busters, all at once? Why these 2 different times? Oh well. I may or may not go, but definately not for 5am doorbusters b/c the store will already be crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I wanted from the 5-1 doorbusters was the geotrax train and I'll just buy another train set for DS2 so I can shop other places and not spend all my time @ TRU.

hkchik Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 FYI... manager of the store in Janesville, WI stated today that all items will be out and can be loaded in the carts to check out at 12am. Just can't get the prices on the 5am items until 5am. So in theory the store could fill at 12:30am, with no one checking out until 5am, and 5am items sold out before the start time. In my opinion, this is one of the most asinine things I've seen in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen8112 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 So this will be my first year going to TRU first. I'm planning on going around 9pm, hoping the Zhu Zhu's don't make people line up at 6pm! Anyway, do they hand out maps?...will the DS games be located in the R Zone or on the floor?...what about the other electronics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena_398 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 They usually always keep the video games in the ad in the R Zone. Never on the floor. In recent years (at least at my TRU) you have to buy them in the R Zone too. OR they offer to hold them for you behind the desk until you are done shopping on the floor.
