Starting this Sunday in the sun newspaper in the uk customers have the chance to collect four out of five printed tokens to redeem for a free hex or dino rang figure exclusively at TOYSRUS

Interesting. Are they treating them as rare figures? Is it Lightcore Hex?

I wish, it's old ssa figures

I really want the tokens for some reason..

Dinorang going down in price CONFIRMED

They should've used BOOMER!! Hello?!

Unfortunately GM lightcore hex is a swap force preorder bonus figure only over here

Lucky UK people! Canada NEVER gets anything special.

Do you have a pic of the ad? I am just curious how it is worded. ToysRUs are notorious for posting pictures in their ads of figures that customers have no chance in getting just to get people in the store. Not saying this is the case here but I am wary.

Wellllllllllllll..... I think we got Scarlet Ninjini first, and I KNOW we got Polar Whirlwind first. We've had a couple, just not much, and more often we have to be satisfied with getting stuff at the same time, since it's usually later.

The add won't be in the newspaper until Sunday, the figures themselves are being provided by the sun newspaper NOT toysrus

Hmm thank you very much for the heads up @fateorfear! Do I get hex, my favourite, or dino-rang, rare.

Dino-Rang is easy to get on Amazon for a normal price.

What exactly are these tokens that you speak of?

Basically there will be tokens printed in the newspaper from Sunday they are printing SIX altogether not the five I first said, all you need to do is cut them out(only four differently numbered ones) and take them along to your local TRU from Wednesday the 31st July hand them over to the lovely people at customer services and they will give you either HEX or DINO-RANG, the choice is yours

Oh, they're printed? Darn.

Darn, I was thinking they were some cool collectible Skylanders medallions with faces of Skylanders on one side and maybe a picture of their element type on the other.

That would have been nice and I would have bought every one I could find but alas just printed paper, sorry guys

According to that ad, you just get a Sklyander figure. It doesn't state which ones. TRU tends to put pictures of random figures in their ad. I think they even pictured Boomer in a recent ad in the US.

Yeah you're right, it might not necessarily be just these two. Personally I would choose Dino-rang as I need him but it would be nice to find a Boomer wouldn't it?

I am interested in what you all find when you trade-in your tokens. I am calling out ToysRUs again for deceptive advertising unless I hear otherwise.

trust me, anyone on here who knows me will tell you I work at TRU, weve had them in and they are just hex and dino rang

That is awesome then! Didn't mean to sound like I doubted you but I have been burned by their ads a few times. Most recently one of them had shown Boomer but he was certainly nowhere to be found.

its okay, its just lucky id taken these photos before I came home from work

Nice! It says at the top where the price is "promo figure"

Ah cool, I'm getting the sun today, gotta get me a free Dino Rang Its from this Wednesday then right?

Cool dinorang isnt as forgotten

Yeah, just collect four tokens and take them in store from Wednesday, we've had 300 of each in our store and we are one of the smallest stores in the country

Ok thanks for the info fateorfear I'll be popping into Toys R Us nice and early on Wednesday.

Just been out and bought my papers and on the same page is a voucher to get £18 off any giants starter pack, ideal for anyone wanting punch pop fizz

Got my papers this afternoon, might be a good chance to pick up the 3DS starter pack and a Punch Pop Fizz in the process as £18 off isn't bad at all

Oh my gosh, there's a parrot in here!, LOL
nag, just kidding, happy to see like minded people using their noggin

You say papers... will we be able to cash in on 2 figures if we get 2 sets of tokens? Would be nice to have a mint sealed hex as she is my fave character but i'd also love a dino-rang to go with my sealed voodood.

YAY!

will you get to choose who u want?

They have been merchandised with the rest of the skylanders you choose the one you want and take it and your tokens to the till

Thanks man, got my first token today.
Oh and sorry for being a complete D****e on that other thread. I guess I was peeved at Kappa and Uncle bob, as I wanted to defend GM because he was my friend...

If I took every comment personally I would have hung myself by now

If I take my friend along with an extra set of tokens do you think I could get one if we both go to the tills behind each other?

Yes, you can

got my tokens and getting hex tommorow as my grandparents r taking me 2 toysrus!

Got one of each :-)

Got one of each too! Started off my blog by talking about it!

just got , and pack of tattoos with and tattoos from my grandparents!

Getting mine tomorrow
Probably gonna Pre order SF for my Birthday

Getting mine today seeing as my dad wasn't able to take me in the week. I hope they have plenty of stock left as I really want Dino Rang

I am a little late to this post: Is this for UK only? Does the US have this?

UK only. US has the super boring US Times.

Oh well. Congrats on getting something we don't get.
