The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: CW Deluxe Figure & Vehicle Line
« on: September 1, 2011, 02:32 PM »
Target seems to have over-compensated in adjusting the price of the Republic Scout Speeder.  I had heard the stories of them being priced at a discount at Target stores, so I decided to scan one.  And the DPCI that came up indicated that it was the Republic Attack Shuttle, and it rings up for $79.99.  Needless to say, I passed.  But not before checking the price on an actual Republic Attack Shuttle, which also rang up at $79.99.

So if I return my $4.64 Scout, will I get a Target gift card for $80?  :o

I have it on good authority that this has in fact worked and the funds were refunded back to the credit card used for the purchase.

With four that I've yet to open, that's fairly tempting.

These are hardly confirmed. I grain of salt, perhaps?

Slightly off topic but has anyone ever opened a vehicle box to discover something totally different inside?

Happened to me once... was super pissed at the time - can you tell?

Made a lunch run over to Northtown TRU hoping to get lucky...
...
- TRU New Interceptor?  Yep.    ;D

Goddamned mother ******* ****. 

So, I get my new TRU Interceptor home tonight and open it up...  and it's got a ******* PotJ Interceptor inside the box.



I can't believe that some ****head out there swapped it already.  It's brand ******* new!  How the **** could they have already done a swap?  WTF!?!?  I can't even begin to describe the way my heart sunk when I pulled that ****** vintage TIE ball out of the box.   :'(

Guess I'm going back there to give them a piece of my mind...

How'd you resolve it? I'm interested to know how Toys R Us reacted.

These DVD packs should be saved for recards, not new figures.

Local guy got his today.

Mine is still DOA.  So I think I have missed the boat.

Oh and I lost the bet, he did indeed get the set.  In the Boxed Set Shipping box even.

So no Indy set, Paul? Also, wasn't there going to be a contest here for a Death Star?

Anybody interested in just the Sith figures or want to sell their troops from this pack, please let me know. I want to army build the troopers.

I just want the Human guy, so YES very interested in that.   I am going to end up with at least 3 of the guy, so you could have a platoon easily.   Somebody is going to have to call dibs on the Day-Glo Rasberry Icee Female Jedi.

Great, Paul. Let me know if you find any. I'll keep you posted as well.

Is it only in store or online as well?  Do you need a coupon?  Thanks!

It is in-store purchases only.

Here is the exact wording:

From August 7-13, you will get FREE $10 Geoffery Bucks with your in-store toy purchase of $50 or more at Toys R Us. Offer valid on combined purchases made between 8/7-8/13. Your FREE $10 Geoffery Bucks will be emailed to you.

So I think all you need to do is make the $50 in purchases during next week and make sure that you have them scan your Rewards R Us card.

And here's the disclaimer, which is pretty standard with their Rewards R Us program...

Quote
*$10 Geoffrey Bucks can be earned from combined eligible purchases made in store between 8/7-8/13/11. Only one $10 Geoffrey Bucks can be earned per eligible RewardsRUs member. Eligible purchases of $50 or more exclude baby food, diapers, formula, wipes, Ameda, Baby Brezza, Baby Jogger, BOB, Britax, Bugaboo, Cybex, ERGObaby, Mamas & Papas, Motherhood Maternity, Nap Nanny, Pediped, Peg Perego, Phil & Teds, Robeez, Tommee Tippee, Under Armour, electronic learning toys, netbooks, tablets, video game hardware, video games, Apple products, FAO products, Robot Galaxy, Buyer Protection Plan, gift cards, photo studios, phone orders, Special Orders, assembly fee, breast-pump rental fee, delivery fee, and shipping & handling. Geoffrey Bucks will be emailed to you on or about 8/17/11 and are valid through 8/24/11 at Toys''R''Us. Certain restrictions apply.

And, yet again, I don't get an email, despite spending an inordinate amount of money at that store. It is a train wreck. Their loss.

I will be there on and off all of the days.  My graphic novels are coming out in January, and I will be doing some unofficial promotion work.  However, I don't know what day Hasbro's panel will be but we should all try to get together for that.

Update.  I won't be there saturday.

I get professional credentials and will be there at least Saturday but, likely, all three days promoting. When the time is right, I'll let you all know what. Hopefully you'll all be interested.

Apparently there's a 20% off coupon out there for TRU if you "like" them on Facebook.....just in time for the SDCC stuff.

Thanks for the heads up!

does it have a set expiration date, or is it something like 2 weeks after you "like" them?

The one I just printed runs from 7/25 through 8/14 - like iFett said - hopefully with enough time so I can use it to score 20% off of one of the Force Unleashed sets I want to grab!  ;D

It's 20 percent on one item though, right? That's why I gotta find a vintage boxed BAT-AT now.

Feel the need to chime in here.
I work at a summer camp and can get nowhere need the Internet between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Pete and I help each other out a lot. He had told me he was going to do everything he could to grab one for me. He could not.
There is NO con here. Pete wanted to grab me one. I sign a contract to be at camp for 39 days. I can't break that. He did everything he could to help me.
Pete and BBTS shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence. He was not going to profit, other than the karma we regularly exchange by helping each other out. Sorry, but a business buying a bunch and, I don't know, upping the price by 150 percent is ludicrous. You know Brian's Toys has its hands on some too. It's greed, pure and simple. Had I not wanted the other set Pete might have been able to get, he would've kept it for his loose/carded collection-- check his posts, he does that -- or more likely offered it to another collector at cost given its scarce nature.

I was galled when I saw this yesterday, absolutely galled. Hasbro should question any set going to BBTS zip code if not the county and more. If I can't get one, BBTS should only be allowed one. It can then sell it for whatever it likes. Forty-six is disgusting.

Five Target's yesterday and not one new item on shelves. No Shuttle in back room at any of them.
Wal-Mart? Sha! I don't even go there right now and there's no reason to.

Saw my first wave 7 figure at WM tonight.  Never heard of the wave showing at WM at all, so I was shocked.

Saw lots of Wave 7 remnants at Target all over this weekend.

Location, por favor?

Went back to a Target that wouldn't pull anything for me since the reset was "scheduled" for July 31st. So I went back this morning and sure enough, the reset hadn't been done, but I found the same employee who told me to come back on Sunday and he was willing to pull stuff for me.

Here's what I scored:
1x Hunt for Grievous BP
1x Defend Kamino BP
1x Zillo Beast Capture BP
1x RC Republic Fighter Tank
1x Scout Y-Wing w/Pilot (again for $4.24!!)

I'm done with the Y-Wing now - not bad being able to score all three that I wanted for $4.24 each.

And I'm totally done with Wave 1 of the battlepacks now too.

What's up with them not resetting? Why have a date?
