itMFtis Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Not sure if there is a better thread to post this in, but Marvel Minimates are buy 1, get 1 50% off at TRU (online and in store). Unfortunately, not all of the Marvel sets on their website are correctly included in this, such as the recent AvX set, and certain waves of Marvel vs Capcom. In the store, this would be pretty easy to argue if the price isn't adjusted correctly in their system. Edit: just got back from TRU and their MvC waves are a little out of whack with this sale. I brought the MODOK/Akuma set and Sentinel/Ryu sets up. The MODOK set was part of the promotion, the Sentinel set was not. After mentioning that both sets are from the same series of toys, the cashier looked at the packaging and agreed. She manually adjusted the price of the 2nd set without any fuss. * See post 14 for an Amazon promo ($20 off a $100 toy/games order).

Colonel America Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Huh. Might be time to pick up the Rhino pack and something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Nice to know. Almost worth braving TRU this time of year. Clean out those old packs, boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 People still have those packs of mates at their TRU??? Dang....all mine has is The Amazing Spiderman, Taskmaster/Spencer pack, Halo and Universal Monsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 My closest TRU only has ASM, as well. Actually, it also has a few Halo left, but I take a few each time I visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itMFtis Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) The Halo sets were buy 1 get 1 50% off as well. I originally wasn't going to buy Halo stuff but I picked up a couple identical packs to army build. Damn, I was only intending on buying Marvel, but have since dipped into everything (Walking Dead/Expendables/Halo/Movie Monsters/Even the Knight Rider car for Punisher).

Jeff Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I hit up the TRU near my house and was suprised to see one Rick/zombie pack, zombie/zombie pack, 4 ghostbuster Janine/slimers and a few X-Men first class. There were several Kingpin/Daredevils as well. Minimates at TRU are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. :tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 All of the TRUs I visit with reasonable frequency have plenty of the Thor/Cap wave, the Daredevil/Spidey mishmash wave, the latest wave, plus a smattering of old sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Anyone know if this applies to the AvX boxed set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokash Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I tried this with the AVX set today and it was a no go but if you get the right cashier I bet you can talk them into giving you the discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksun1520 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 My TRU still has bunches of Marvel mates. If anyone needs anything I can check if its there, just shoot me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperChefMate Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I was just recently thinking how with all the sales TRU has there are never any for minimates. This is great, I'm going to try this today. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itMFtis Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Thor/Destroyer pack is back in stock for a mere $5 and sporting the b1g1 50% off deal. Linky Edited December 12, 2012 by itMFtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itMFtis Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 For Amazon Visa users (like me), you can take $20 off a $100+ purchase on a toys and games order as long as the items are specifically sold by Amazon. The promo code to apply during checkout is: toy20off Here is a link to all the eligible Minimates items sold by Amazon.com. It might be harder for some of you longtime collectors to find $100 worth of stuff, but I managed to get a bunch of MM sets in and Nerf stuff to fill the remaining gap. Enjoy!

SuperChefMate Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I just came back from Tru shopping, and at the ones by me it was buy one, get one 50% off all Marvel products. MvC mates were included, but the AvX box was not. Though after a quick trip to customer service, I was refunded for the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
