Not sure if I'm breaking forum rules by posting here, but its newsworthy enough, IMO -- bbi's latest P51D, w/ Donald Duck nose art, as well as "Old Crow" and "Killer", are all on clearance at tru.com for $10

!! Not sure how long this is on for, but thought I'd pass along the word....

I actually ordered 2, and if I get them (depends on how accurate their inventory system is), they are all yours, Andrew!

I didn't find any shipping discount codes.
But I did snag the new donald duck P-51 for 10 bucks and several of the BBI WWII figs for 1.50 each!!!
I would have gotten more planes, but the shipping was KILLING me!

And this is why I love this forum. That is freakin' sweet. I bought one of each of the planes. I am greatful and glad.

Are there any left?? I'm only getting about 5 items left under the "Elite Force" category and there's no P-51s or figures...
Wait! Never mind, I seem to have found them, but they're all out of stock

14th Century: English Knight / English Knight at Fight / French Standard Bearer (3 figures) for 2.50

Breaking the rules hell man, this is outstanding intel!
Anyone know if this sale is translating to the actual stores?

Have not checked the stores.
In most cases, the store would not honor the online price.
Recently I saw that appliance (egg/toast maker) was on sale on Sear.com for 12.50 (retail 49.99). Sears online was out of stock. When I went to Sears store and asked them if they would match the 12.50 price online, it took 3 level of people before the big manager let me have one he had in his store at the 12.50 price.
Worth a try! - But better hurry!

As of 7PM EST the TRU website now lists both mustangs as "temporarily unavailable online"

Thanks, Snake512 for the intel on this.
Much appreciated!

![Mad :x](./images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)
Well. I seem to have made the mistake of hesitating
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
and didn't get a darn thing. I'm reading on other toy forums that things were gone in as little as 15 MINUTES. I scored some stuff unrelated to this forum, unfortunately didn't get the Mustang I wanted!!
Hopefully they'll do this again soon.
But as I'm not a spoilsport, you're welcome and congrats to those who made out. They were truly amazing bargains!

Well I just missed out on getting the old crow. Any of you that got an extra $10 Old Crow from TRU that would sell me one for a reasonable price please PM me.
Thanks,
Todd

I was able to get the AC and a few SW figs just because I'm a sucker for a deal. The P-51s came out to $20 a piece - 10 each and 10 to ship. I plan to display the Donald Duck so if their inventory system is legit I should have an extra Old Crow for you Doc. Oh, and I should have some extra SW if anyone is interested (obviously Clone Troopers and the like were sold out...I'm talking about guys you never heard of unless you've seen all 6 episodes more than once..).

awesome intel Snake512!!! I snagged a Donald Duck. Shipping and taxes it still came out to only $19.17!! I did check a TRU store last night here in Johnson City TN and they still had a bunch of Old Crow's for the regular price.

I sometimes get the impression, based on this and past sales on toysrus.com (like the Sherman sale a while back), that they have these big clearance sales once in a while to make room for incoming product in the warehouse, even though it may be a few weeks or months before that product makes it to stores. I also wonder if this indicates that the clearanced items will not be restocked at local stores, or if the clearance is only a portion of the stock on hand (for example, they have 7,500 P-51s on hand and forecast a need for only 5,000 to restock all stores, so 2,500 get allotted for clearance).

I'd liked to get one also, but I think we'll see an influx of BBI Mustangs on Ebay..
