All of the usual "Cannot be combined with any other offer" and "Discounted item must be equal or lesser value to the lowest item purchased" nonsense applies.

I'm also putting this in the weekly deals section, so let's refrain from any "this already exists" posts.

Dark edition at TRU?

Yes, ToysRUs will be getting the Dark Edition Starter packs. They'll probably be pretty limited, though.

Great, Times Square is doing another event at a bad time.. *sigh*

So for those without a Toys R Us doing a midnight release we miss out on a free figure :-(. Figures.

Fair warning, it take off 50% of the lower priced item. So im doing multiple transactions to maximize savings. All trap master on one, triple/adventure pack on another, and the last one traps <.<

Is it cheaper to buy the 2 triple trap packs and then the other singles or is it cheaper to buy them all as single since it is BOGO $1?

7$ + 1 is 8$ for two, meaning four individual ones that day will cost 16$. Therefore it's 4 for 16 instead of 3 for 16.99.

I have a lot of stuff on pre-order, but I might just go nuts at the midnight release and snag whatever I see. If I can get everything, I think I will save somewhere close to $70, which is totally worth cancelling or returning other pre-orders. That will probably just leave me with my tablet edition with Outlaw B+C and to get from Target!

If the trap triple packs are buy 1 get 1 50% off, they are cheaper per trap only if the price is less than $16. You essentially have the same deal if the triple packs are $16 (2 triple packs or 6 singles will run you $24. If triple packs are above $16, you're going to be paying more per trap with the triple pack. For the sake of variety and being able to pick & choose your traps, just go with the singles. If this game doesn't do well in sales, I can see them clearing out the single trap packs fairly quickly as it's bulky packaging and unnecessary clutter on the pegs...I am sure parents will look up at the figures on the pegs and be "oh great, another set of figures"...and then look over at the traps next to them and see them as unnecessary plastic junk. I don't think this gimmick will sit well with parents.

Oh yes I didn't see the bogo50 if you go for mindnight or early morning. So it' s the same price for 6 and relatively cheaper if you get 4.

another thing to consider is if you go for the bogo50 on the 3 packs, one of the 3-packs comes with ANOTHER life trap. So if you want more variety go with the singles.

Is this going to be online as well? There are no TRU's near me... I only have Walmart and Gamestop...

Anyone knows if the bogo 40% off stacks with the 10% off on thursdays?
