Looks like I'll be catching the bus early in the morning in order to get there before opening.

I recycle the packaging, except the card backs of course, but I've been keeping the names with barcodes on the off chance Hasbro Canada instigates a Mail-In for Joes anytime soon.
So I've still got the barcodes for the figures in case I have to do the return buy back at the deal thing.

Yeah, most TRU are ok with just receipts. I bring both just in case.

Are the 30th anniversary/Renegades figures still $9.99 or have they increased in price to $10.99? If they did go up, it will be the first time a price increase will actually be beneficial.

The TRU I stopped by already started applying the sale. Picked up a CC, Red Ninja, Hazard Viper, and ultra-poseable spidey. Mix and matching works! Unfortunately it seems like the Joe Troopers went fast, all the locations I stopped by didn't have any, was he short packed? Haha, I really want one now.

Oh, about time there was a sale on Joes. Just too bad we had to wait till the movie stuff was released before it happend.

Nice! It's awesome that we can mix and match!

Unfortunately, all the troop builders for Retaliation wave 1 were 1 per case. The Joe Troopers were the first to go. Kind of had to be there the day the cases were put out to get one.

Yeah, it definitely has been awhile since Joes were on sale. I guess TRU knew that 30th Anniversary/Renegades figures were going to be bought by collectors so they kept it at $9.99($10.99 now) so they can make money off of us.

WTF? Isn't it, I don't know, unethical or something for a store to start the sale one day early, thus allowing certain parties who happen to be there that day able to take advantage of things, and thus making it difficult for the rest of us to get what we want?

I'm not saying anything against you 10incher, just asking a legitimate question. In a few hours time I was planning on heading out to take advantage of this sale, but if the scalpers and everyone else has already picked the aisles clean because the sale started on Thursday instead of Friday like it was SUPPOSED TO then I'm going to be mighty cheesed off.

I don't really care if Retaliation has been picked clean, but if I get there and find those 30th Anniversary figures I wanted to get are all gone, I'm going to slaggin' shove a HISS down someone's throat., box and all.

Simple solution: Go buy the toys you want at full price on the Thursday and bring back your receipts to price match them on Friday. It's a bit more hassle since you need to make two trips, but it insures that you get what you want and you don't have to stress about it. I've done it a few times.

Actually didn't even know their was a sale on Joes starting, I went to see if their was any different Avengers stuff, and decided to get the Retaliation figures I wanted. Thought I was paying full price, until I got home and looked at the receipt.

Sadly it is not that simple. Banks charge for the number of times you use your Debit Card, and some of us prefer to keep that 'Service Charge' under a certain amount every month.

It's even worse with the ATM charges and stuff added on to that, so no, do not go out and buy them at full price if you can't justify affording the costs of bank's service charges.

I'll just try my luck, if worse comes to worse I only get two figures instead of the four I was hoping for.
