siczlo Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 anyone know the specs on that netbook??? I was wondering the same thing....
SweetCanela Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Wow! 10 p.m. can't believe it! But brilliant marketing strategy by not being in competition with everyone else that keeps opening earlier but at the same time as everyone else.
sherril Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I scroll through the whole ad thinking good, the only things I need here I can buy online through there website because I do NOT do the whole shopping on Thanksgiving thing..until I hit the last page 79.99 netbook!! Guess I will be leaving the house extra early to wait on that line!!!! me too, this will be perfect for my 7yo!!
stacyk9 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 There are definitely a couple things listed that are on my DS's gift list. Of course, they are the 5am doorbusters!! I'll be trying to get those online. Also, the Lego Wii Remote is on sale at the BF price now, so if you're looking for that, you can save yourself some time and trouble!!
sbwolfer Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I'm actually super happy with this ad! I'm very excited that they're opening at 10pm Thanksgiving night because now I can go there and still have plenty of time to run home, unload the car and then head back over to the other stores I'd go to. The LeapFrog Click Start is a great deal so I'll be picking up one of those along with quite a few other things.
Elmck Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Saw quite a few things I can use my gift cards on. So someone in my group is going there. Probably me!! I want the MP3 players (not ipods) I think the net book since it does e-books. ( can I block most internet sites??) I also see things for my soon to be 1 year old grandson.
tinkrbel Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) anyone else having trouble opening this one? NeverMind! I went into panic mode, for whatever reason I had to open then save as selecting save was only saving a 1.x file and giving me errors. Edited November 11, 2010 by tinkrbel
pogiporkchop Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I may go just to be in the middle of all the chaos!
fluffkin79 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 10 pm? Seriously? Come on, TRU - this is supposed to be Black "Friday"! Couldn't they wait till midnight? At least there would be some chance of getting a nap in before heading out. This could be dangerous. You know there are going to be people out there (maybe you) who stay up all night Wed cooking and cleaning, entertain their families all day, stay up to plan their attacks, then head out shopping. With the staggered shopping times they will be up over 52 hours before heading home Friday around noon. And this kind of shopping - no matter how much you enjoy it - is strenuous. I do appreciate that they are doing something to try to control their crazy crowds, but expecting us to wait in their lines twice? Is this torture?
sweetdiggity Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I don't see a wow factor with this ad, but I never go to TRU anyways. I am interested in the LEGO alarm clock for $9.99 though. I hope they have it online!! :)
kansasteacher Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Maybe someone has mentioned it already, but I missed it... Will the 10PM doorbusters be available online? I see two or three items that I'd like to get, and I don't have any issue placing an order at 10PM on Thanksgiving from the comfort of my bedroom...
dawn09 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Wow, 10:00? That certainly may change some of my plans. I just don't know if i am willing to leave that early considering no other stores open up till around 3. I will probably just leave around midnight like i originally planned. That way i have plenty of time to go through TRU, then head off to my other places. I don't know if I will really buy much from TRU, I only saw a few things i was really looking for. And the santa sing a ma jig? Oh boy, can't wait to see the madness surrounding those!
newmom517 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I love this ad, perfect for me with, plenty of things on my 3 year old's list. I am just dreading the chaos, especially being pregnant this year.
Angelseyes28 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I'm definitely in the minority here because I'm actually thrilled over this ad!!!! There are lots of things I want to get from the ad so I guess I'll be heading there Thanksgiving night.
Finnegan Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I will be far from TRU this year.. but saw some neat things.. hoping they will be avail online. I'm with you tho that there are no new toys (or not many) such as the piggies and monster high or the paper jamz... Sure wish I could get the sing a ma jig.. I bought 2 from "santa" already and they are ADORABLE!

I do appreciate that they are doing something to try to control their crazy crowds, but expecting us to wait in their lines twice? Is this torture? That's why it's at my mom's house! I start TG day at Meijer, got to mom's to eat and take a short nap, then off to TRU, then Target....Plans subject to change depending on additional ads!
Rose0426 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Darn, found a few things. Anyone know what time can you start to order online? I really don't want to be in that line at ??. If I am I, know I will be totally exhausted by the time I hit my next store.
Thumper501 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 10pm! Wow! It's going to be crazy there. Wonder what time the line will start?
karalot Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I'm so glad to see this ad! Won't be heading there, but I'm glad it's out! You'd think with five kids, it would be my number one place, but thankfully, not a lot here that I can't get somewhere else for the same price later, like the DSi bundle.
kimmie0712 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I saw a couple of things but they aren't worth me going at 10pm for. I may try to get a couple of things online - do they do free shipping?
kimmie0712 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 10pm! Wow! It's going to be crazy there. Wonder what time the line will start? I'd guess that by 7pm there will be people in line...
madi5 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I really like the price on that Laptop for my 7yr old and that tablet for the 14 year old. Does anyone know if these are good? I realize that for 80.00 I am not going to get a gaming laptop, but he just plays a few games like toontown.
princesschaos13 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I differ from the majority too... I LOVE this ad!! Last year I swore I would never do TRU on BF ever again. Guess I'm taking that back. I don't know when I'm supposed to get in line for a 10pm opening though!! Plus I am taking a a BF first timer with me this year. She's gonna kill me when I tell her I wanna be at TRU so early! Who has experience with ordering online there? I have never done any shopping online on BF.
xtothey Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I think the ad is decent. I am dying for the Netbook. I don't even really care what the specs are. It's for my 10yo and she has been asking for one for 2 years. I wonder what would be a good time to get in line? How do you know if you can order online?
jade#1 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 there are a few things from the ad that are at that price right now or cheaper on the web site like the blendy pens and that fisher price digital art studio
ourhappyfamily4 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Those are my intentions :) Does walmart even carry this netbook or the colby portable dvd player?
rjncmj Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I'm actually gonna be a dissenting opinion and say I think this is a good ad! I didn't have any specifics I was looking for, but there's a broad range of things for different ages, lots of basic gifts for people shopping for kids other than their own children, a good number of 50% off things... My thoughts exactly!
