Figured I'd share!!!

Awesome! Thanks!

Shopko (if anyone has that, I think it's regional...) has the starter set for $5 off. Not a huge deal but it's something.

Yeah, now it's time for me to start figuring out Trap Team. I haven't pre-ordered it from anywhere, I was getting the Dark one, but TRU doesn't even have it in their system.

For the dark starter....I was gonna try Walmart at midnight with my fingers crossed since Raleigh Walmarts suck. If not then I will hit up target and TRU. I know you can pre-order online for in store pick up at the Capital Blvd. Best Buy.

holy crap, thank you so much!

Good to know. I'm more open to buying figures when I know they are on sale. Hopefully stuff I want will be there when I get out of Church at 9 AM on Sunday.

Rewards members meaning just that free points card thing? I have that. Cool.

I hope midnight releases have a sale going on. I don't wanna wait till morning.

My guess is the 8 am to 10 am Rewards sales will be in at midnight but unsure...

So after 10 am it's still $1 traps?

Right, and when you spend $125 you get $5 back. So it's an absolute serious no brainer. TRU is again making it VERY EASY to shop with them.

Yes, the single trap sale remains the same...

There are a ton of Walmarts locally between here and Durham and they all suck...hahaha. Its pretty much Crossroads TRU & Target for me. I figure I'd end up at TRU to get since I've heard rumors of various sales on figures that I doubt anyone will beat.

I will end up at the plaza next to Triangle town center to hit up the TRU, Target, and Walmart. It is like a 2.5 minute drive from my house so may just try that Walmart at midnight for dark set. My whole day 1 plan centers around me finding the ps4 dark starter. If successful, I may just stick with TRU for all the figures and traps for the sale and the rewards points.

Wow thanks a bunch Stinkbomb29! I hope these sales are there when I go to my Toysrus. I'm a member and with these sales, I can save a lot that day and the trap deal makes it cheaper to buy them singularly than the triple packs. I'm gonna get more than I hoped for that day after all.

One dollar per trap? Well I'm not getting anywhere close to a TRU anytime soon, but that means at least that might be followed by some pretty sweet deals on Ebay - maybe I can even get one from an element that's not high priority for me like the Tech Scpeter.

It's BOGO $1, so you pay full price for the 1st and then the 2nd is $1.

This is great. I did a preliminary cost using the BOGO 40% from last year and my total was over $400. This will definitely bring the cost down.

Just canceled all my Gamestop pre orders because of thos. It'll help save a ton at launch?

just so im clear on it, the Rewards Members Only are TOYS R US reward members?

thanks for the clarification.

now i can have my entire day one for $128, plus tax.

TRU seems to be the way to go for these things all things considered. However, if you have Gamer's Club, Best Buy is a bit better of a deal on items (except Starters if you buy multiple).

For example:
Trap Masters
TRU $16.99 + ($16.99 x 0.5) = $25.49 and you need to buy in even numbers
BB ($14.99 x 0.8) = $11.99 (2 would be $23.98) but you can get any number, even or odd
Similar variance for other figure packages

Starters, however the 50% off the second one is better than 20% off both if you do get two.

And this is not knowing if BB has a release sale in mind, because Gamer's Club stacks with all sales. If they have similar deals, it could get even better.

I'm not terribly fond of Best Buy Skylander stocking long term, but they pretty much have everything from Wave 1 (minus variants) on day one. If you don't have Gamer's Club, it's a great deal if you can get it on sale - I've saved tons using it. Something to think of if you are looking to maximize how far your Skylander money goes.

The only ones I see that difference on are the Trap Masters, because they are $2 more at TRU each. If you do the calculation for the others it only comes out to a 10cent savings difference for Mini packs, and a 50cent difference for Core singles. And with the triple packs TRU actually comes out $1 cheaper than BB. This isn't even counting the BOGO $1 Trap singles which BB can't compete with.

Im so happy about the traps sale. I was originally just going to get the 2 triple packs to have all the elements (even though I didnt like the sculpts), but now I have a little more variety by getting singles.

Yes, Toys R Us rewards

Also to stack on, Thursdays ToysRUs Reward Members with the TRU Credit Card gets 10% off all their purchases.
My plan is to buy 1 of everything on midnight/sunday morning for immediate playing and then buy 2 of everything on thursday for the savings; return sundays purchases at later dates.

Do we have a pic or pdf of the ad showing the savings as of yet?

thanks

question is is it both reward members the credit card and the free ones?

I'm confused, is it buy 1 get 1 50% all day for rewards members? Or only 8AM to 10AM?

The buy 1 get 1 50% is for rewards members only from 8 am to 10 am

Does the sale apply to the game guide, adventure packs, sidekick packs, and triple packs as well?

Yes!!! All Skylanders starter packs, accessories and figures!!!

Does anyone know if/when this will be officially documented? I would have thought that TRU would have sent out an email to Rewards members already alerting them or make a blurb in this week's ad paper (even though the sale would affect the next sales period) to ensure that the word got out, but I can't seem to find any independent verification on this. I'll be really glad if it's true but don't want to end up really disappointed if it's not.

i was thinking the same thing i was on tru's website trying to find info on it and couldn't find anything

I'd say they'll email alert everyone probably around Wednesday is my guess. They'll do it in advance to get you thinking about it, but probably not until the middle of this week while people are considering where to shop for the new figures.

That's pretty much a slam dunk for TRU on Day 1.

So that's about $12 each for the Trap Masters if you buy two. Language insinuates that buying the game will net you a $12 trap master by default. Traps wil laverage about $3.50 in price

I don't think we'll ever get a better trap price...
TRU does BOGO40% deals some what frequently through the holidays, so I'm not going to swoon over that.

What's unsettling is that they don't have the Dark Starter Pack shown in there anywhere...

And they (Activision) are shooting themselves in the foot by having the Tablet version with the exact same characters as the console. The Tablet version should be treated like the 3DS in that there is a high probability of 'overlap' purchases, so putting say Gusto and a core or something wit hthe Tablet would GREATLY help sales. I WANT the tablet version, but if I get this for the XBOne, why should I get the tablet version?

Dark for console, regular for tablet to get the normal Snap Shot and Food Fight.

The Dark Starter Pack will be available at ToysRUs stores.

That's still the exact same characters. I went through that with SF. I don't TOUCH regular Blast Zone or Swash buckler since I already have leveled up versions of them (dark). They function purely for my completionist ways.

And @Matteo - TRU should have them, I just haven't been able to pre-order or anything, so its making me nervous about quantities and the such. I plan on being there at opening, but I do NOT want to worry about trampling over little kids to get the 'one' copy they may have.

The same could be said of any variants though. Yes, you are forced into getting these if you want multiple versions, but you can also pick up one of the versions later disc/portal only if it is that big a deal. Even though I have tried to play with all the figures I own, some are sitting on the shelf at low level regardless. Such is the life of the OCD collector

I thought the BOGO 50% was for Reward Members only???

It's midnight release till 10 am for rewards members!!!

The ad says 40% because that's the general public release add.

Here's Target prices

Has anyone that's a reward member got an email about the 8am to 10am sales? Or is this still unconfirmed?
