Best Buy/Target/Toys R Us Best Sales Combination (For Me)
Posted: Fri Aug 16, 2013 3:20 pm
***I updated the title to reflect the best possible combination of sales for me as in my situation, I preordered from Best Buy. So all calculations/combos is based on me still getting the Starter Pack and free character from Best Buy. This post is suppose to be a rough outline on what the total price would be for getting all the characters. Yall may be in the same situation or slightly different depending on where you preordered from so this can help guide you. This may not be THE best combination for everyone.***
I know we've all pre-ordered from different places. And upon recent discovering of the launch day sales from different retailers, we will all be scrambling to multiple places for the best prices. I did crunche the numbers real quick and found the following as the best combination (for me). This also I guess applies to those who preordered in store and not online.
$74.99 = Starter Pack + free individual character....Doesn't matter where as this would be the same price
$34.98 = Cars and Lone Ranger Playsets....Target sale (17.49 each), or if you can get it priced matched elsewhere like I'm going to at Best Buy
$44.98 = Villain + Sidekick Character 3 Pack....Toys R Us
$20.98 = 2 individual characters.....Toys R Us
$13.99 = Last individual character.....Toys R Us/Best Buy (Target has it for a $1 cheaper, but may not be worth the drive for $1)
For me, in Texas with sales tax (8.25%) using this combination roughly = $178.52 which is a huge difference from the rough $267.29 if I went with all from Best Buy, the $224.53 if all from Toys R Us, or the $226.15 if all from Target.
These figures do not include any accessories or Power Discs. However the best place would be Toys R Us for the Power Discs as they are buy on get one for $1. So to add 10 Power Disc Packs, again using Texas sales tax, it would roughly add an extra $32.47 to the total.
So I just thought I would lay it out like this so you guys could get an idea of the best possible combo you can do to get the cheapest price for the lot.
Good luck to everyone in finding what you're looking for on Sunday!!
