TRU Recon Report - Apaches on Sale for $25

Gunner · Post by **Gunner** » Sat Mar 19, 2005 10:36 am

Found the BBI Apache on sale at my TRU (Bailey's Crossroads, VA) for $24.98.

They had two on the shelf.

I left them both because I already have one and couldn't really justify having two.

So not fair

I never got an Apache, and every TRU in the area doesn't have any anymore.

Same here! But then there were a few gross inaccuracies that sort of kept me from it in the first place.

The only real gripe I have and it's really not a tough fix, is that the greehouse doors open on the wrong side of the aircraft..other than that, it's a steal at $25.00

Thanks for the heads up,...I just went to TRU near my work and grabbed the last one for $27.00. Yeah, that's a good deal! I didn't check but I bet the blackhawks are the same price...anyone know????

Gunner · Post by **Gunner** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 5:27 pm

I hadn't seen any Blackhawks at ANY price for months...

Hollywoodkbl · Post by **Hollywoodkbl** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 5:30 pm

Wow, all the TRU's here in So CAL seem to have quite a few...but they are blackhawks, not Pavehawks.

Post by **p51** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 5:59 pm

HollywoodKBL, have you seen the blackhawks at the discounted price? There's none (any bbi aircraft) here in Orange County at the moment it seems...

BHs are still full price. There are a ton around me - as well as discounted Apaches, full price M4s, Kiowas, Killers & S2 LBs.

Hollywoodkbl · Post by **Hollywoodkbl** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 12:22 pm

Yep, that sounds right to me...just the Apache right now.

I don't think Gunner was able to pick me up a discounted Apache... anyone want to snag one for me? Will pay + shipping of course.

Thank you! Went over to there and picked up one. There's one left! They had a bunch of Sherman Tanks there if anyone is looking for them. Also a TON of FOV vehicles.

P51,
Where the Sherman's discounted any?
We are talking about the BBI Shermans, right?

Post by **p51** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 6:13 pm

Yes, the Bbi Shermans, and no unfortunatly they were full price

I was shocked to find an Apache for $14 today. Someone had opened the box and one set of hellfires was missing. I bought it anyway. It didn't have any speacial tags on and came up as $13.98 on the scanner. I may have to go to another TRU to see if there all going down in price.

I got mine for 22.98. Not a bad investment if you ask me. I am pleased. I haven't seen the Kiowa yet.

For that price, I would get a second one. I resisted at $25, but I don't think I could pass at $14...

strange thing happenned at TRU today. I went looking for apaches and saw a BBI M1. First I've seen in a while and should have been on clearance. I scanned it and it came up as a $39 Sherman. I checked out the barcode and it said Sherman. Turns out someone put a sticker over the original M1 barcode. Anyway I checked the original barcode and it showed M1 $4. Since it was an M1 I pulling the sticker off. Has anyone else seen anything like this? BTW I haven't seen any more Apaches.

Found a couple of Apache's at $30.00 and picked them up. The best find was a LAV though. It was $3.00. Oh Yeah.

Gunner · Post by **Gunner** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 5:43 am

SWEET!

I picked up one at full price when it came out, then picked up two more at 50% off (plus an M1 at 50% off), so I think I'm set for armor, but at $3.00, I would have bought another, oh 10....

Centone put me onto TRU in Jersey City. A big, very old TRU stocked to the rafters. A treasure hunt.

Blackhawks all over (full price), M-41's at full price, but a load of them. Apaches, even a BBI Sherman (full price) but 1/18 Command Cars at 90% off. $2.50. They had eight, I bought five. Gotta love those CC's. I'm gonna have them in every room, now I gotta find a supply of 1/6 CC's.

They won't get my plastic until they pry it from my cold dead hands.
