Did anyone that got their pre-order in get the 20% discount online promo applied to their pre-order?

Site says orders of $150 or more, unless there's a different offer I'm not seeing

I called TRU about it since I've already got my preorder in, and they said the code only works for in stock items so it can't be applied did you get it to work?

TRU.com was going to process a $40 refund until they saw that I paid via Paypal then told me they can't do the refund

While submitting my final order the page just blanked out. I did this 2 more times to make sure my order went through and the same result. I tried one more time and then ththundercracker was unavailable. Toys r us blows man wtf???? They took both of them down at the same time. When the Optimus was first listed I preordered it and got a cancellation in my email a few minutes later so I preordered it again and got a confirmation. What the hell kind of business is this?

I called TRU locally to discuss when the local store would receive MP-10. I was told my regional distribution center was aloted 514 items. I asked if the local store would receive any and I was told it would depend on how many were presold!!!
In the past I have had difficulties getting figures because the employees at my local store would buy items before they ever are placed on the shelves. Now I am getting jobbed by this presale!
I am so upset at TRU and Hasbro. I called TRU customer service and they cannot even find the presale in their system. I am not even able to complain about it because they cannot find an item to attach the complaint to.
This is a PRIME example of how a company should not do business.

The 20% off is not valid for MP Prime, it says in the "exclusions" that it cannot be applied to preorders, which is what Prime is, so it's full price. And with a limit of 2, at full price, I wouldn't exactly say they're encouraging scalping. A limit of 2 is perfect in my opinion. Some people buy one to keep in package & one to open, some like to display an object in both modes and some are picking one up and one for another friend/collector who wasn't able to be online just at that right moment. For all those people, 1 is very frustrating so I really think 2 is the best way to limit scalping yet make as many fans/collectors happy as possible.

Not to start a fire, but that just seems greedy. "You should sell me two because I want two" sounds like "I deserve to have two of what is going to be a really hard-to-find item, and someone else doesn't deserve one." Just my two cents, that particular clause doesn't do much to strengthen your argument.
