UMBRA warehouse sale Dec 9 and 10

[Sanjuro]

Umbra is evil. It will take over your soul and make you kill people to quench it's bloodlust.

I went at 2 pm and got in about 40 mins later (the line wrapped around the corner). When I left around 2:45 pm (Im guessing) the line up was really short in comparison to my line up. I would say only a 30 people or so and Im guessing a 10 minute wait.

This is my first Umbra sale and from all the hype I expected better stuff, but the prices are good. I picked up a soap dispenser, toilet brush, garbage cans, small display case. Everything I bought was either $3, $5 or $7. I think its worth checking out.

There were tons of picture frames. Not much lighting when I was there. I didnt like a lot of the bathroom stuff, mostly crappy colours or designs IMO.

can someone report back - how bad are the lines? is it worth the wait? any good deals to be had?
thanks!

I went just after 4 and walked right in. The place was a bit of a mess though at that point. Ok deals I guess. It takes a lot of digging sometimes to find an item that is not broken or banged up.

I went two years ago and paid $10 for parking. How about this year?

I was there yesterday at 9am, waited for like 2.5 hours in the cold...the wait is quite awful....very windy and very cold compare to the Wii launch lineup it is worse i think. maybe we were more prepared with the Wii launch.

the deals...they were ok, a lot of items are not put in the right box, so we found something inside a $7 box but actually it costs $15, or something in $5 box but it's actually $10.

we paid parking for $5 across from the street.....

the selection is not bad, though i was hoping they have more stuff.

Yes, the lot at the Automotive building is $10. It's automated parking this year (like those green boxes) - Credit card or loonies/toonies (no bills).

Not sure where the $5 lot is, I would've gone there :P

Based from prev years, I can tell that they raise some prices. Selection is horible this year.! wait is long in that windy cold day!

Try Ontario Place flat rate. It's automated so you can buy with either coins or CC. The only downside is crossing Lakeshore with all your goodies.
