I went on an all-day Cars hunt in the Cincinnati, Ohio area on Tuesday... I wanted to look for Christmas Cars at Meijer (for others) and 2014 singles at Toys R US and Target (I found none)... but what I found at at Toys R US shocked me.
There was a sticker on the pegs saying Cars singles were 2 for $5... they didn't honor the price.
Underneath the sticker it showed Cars were still $4.19 each... I picked up 1 Rip and 2 Wingo with Flames... I can't leave those 2 Cars on the pegs.
At the register, they rang up at $4.99 each! Needless to say, I told the cashier "No, thank you"... We're back in Final Lap price territory... at that price it needs to be a special Car or one I haven't found in a store.
Prices on the website for singles are now showing $4.99 each as well... I see myself paying that much for Milton Calypeer and Costanzo Della Corsa... but at that price, I'm not buying other Radiator Springs Classics or 2014 singles at TRU... if they go on sale for 2 for $5 or 2 for $6 I might.
And while I realize many of you in other countries would like to be able to buy singles at $4.99 each, I buy from where it's more affordable (although I have bought new Cars at Kohl's or Elder-Beerman at $5.99 each on occasion).
Will the TRU price increase impact how you purchase Cars?
