The Trains are out at Menards

The Warren Ohio store today had an area ready but very few things on the shelf. Christmas trees and decorations out aleeady though.  I had hoped to buy a Starbucks truck there.

The Waukesha WI store also had most of the train shelves filled, though there were some holes for train sets, HO buildings and other merchandise. The other toy shelves were fully stocked. 

Ironically, I was there to pick up two special orders for train stock.

And, yes, all the Christmas decor is out as well.

The sales run weekly, Sunday through Saturday. No guessing needed. That goes for the online train specials, too.

Right! Unfortunately their site has an old credit card stored and one which I got rid of.  Their site will not allow me to put new info in, reverts to the cancelled card.  I reached out to Menards but their reply was useless.

on thru 10.13.18

Tried to order last night didn't since trucks didn't show up automatically like they did in the past.

I ordered the Morton & MKT box cars however you have to also order the starbucks trucks separately and when you checkout you get credit for them before your payment.

A bit different and confussing and misleading way to receive a free item.

You’re right if you’re just trying to do it with the app, but the website isn’t a problem for me.

After reading your response, I went to the Menards app and realized it still had an older credit card stored there in addition to my current card. I clicked around but could find no way to delete the outdated card.

So I went directly to Menards’ website using my Safari browser, clicked on “View account info,” then “payment methods” and then “delete” under the old card. I also had the option of adding a card on this account page.

Did you follow the same steps and still run into trouble?

Looking like Christmas at the Menards in Naperville, Il. The new American Materials is a my list.

I saw only one, it was labeled track side bldg. ? 

I got an advance copy of CTT’s special issue “Christmas and Electric Trains” and saw the Menards ad on the back page with two new offerings among the structures in the ad. The trackside building is nice, but it’s the other new building that caught my attention. But it’s not my place to offer any hints. So, like everyone else, I’ll have to wait for Mark’s hints to find out when it’s close to the release date.

The shelves were filling up at my local Menards when I picked up my new boxcar and free truck, but I didn't pay any attention to the empty spaces. I'll have to go back and hunt for clues.

We are heading to the Warren, Ohio store in a bit for some other stuff, I will certainly check (The train aisle) and report back!! I could be in trouble if the stuff is out!!

Still waiting for Meanrd's to open a store near me in western PA.

The Menard's in Warren, Ohio DOES have there train stuff out!! A lot of buildings, not much rolling stock yet. Managed to come home empty handed, would like to have bought some more buildings, but I am just about out of real estate. 

I found something very interesting at my local Menards. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll let everyone have fun guessing what the new products will be.

Got my American Materials tower, paid for it with rebate checks, with some left over, Glendale Heights Illinois.

Man I wish I lived by a Menards! But my wife is happy we don't! LOL I know I can still order on line, but its not the same as seeing it all out on the shelf's!

If like a building at Menards, buy it and then temporarily out a less likeable older building that you already have. Move all the buildings around every year.
