Groupon.com, the deal-sharing social networking site, is offering an excellent deal for Transformer collectors today.

Head on over to find a $30 HasbroToyShop Gift Certificate for $15.

At the time of this writing, at least eight more people are required to purchase the Groupon in order for it to become active, but with a deal this good, we expect that to fill soon. The offer is then good until 12:00AM tonight, Eastern Standard.

The Groupon deal isn't valid until tomorrow, hence my comment about 50% off tomorrow which is basically what this deal amounts to.

They had this same coupon a few days ago. I wonder why they're doing it again. Anyway, I got it then, and was able to buy Generations Wheeljack and Thundercracker (Warpath was out of stock), as well as DOTM Cyberfire Bumblebee.

i took a bite :grin:

i never bought stuff from HTS so i figured why the hell not!
plues generations TC's in stock so it'll save me from driving around.

Um, can anyone explain to me how this is a good deal? You have to pay $15 to get a $30 coupon which means you're really only getting $15 worth of stuff. Why not just spend the $15 in the first place?

well basically you're getting $30 worth of toys for only $15. and not only that, HTS' offering free shipping on transformers atm.

so let's say, you bought a human alliance skids for 29.99. you would only pay $15 w/groupon code + tax. shipping's free for anything TF $25+
:-B

Aren't you only getting a net of $15 from HTS? Math makes me so confused.

lol no worries. that's why we're a community

so basically here's what happens, you pay groupon $15, and groupon will send you a "gift certificate" worth $30 that you can use @HTS

so basically you can get HA skids for only $15 instead of paying the initial $30

Ya know I'm gonna say ok and leave it at that even though I still don't understand. Besides TRU this week is buy one get one 50% off and I got a $10 off $50 card.

by **i am Dj fLiP** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 5:51 pm

sure thing man. main reason i took a bite at it was because i can't find that damn generations thundercracker in my area.

but TRU's deal's also awesome, i got most of the stuff i needed a few weeks ago when they had the same exact deal!

happy finding!

ps - TRU's a much better deal if you're still in the hunt for voyagers and leaders. you'll save more money! :ic$:

Dude. My TRU finally had a few TC last time I was there.

My only hang up, how long is the actual 'coupon' good for? If I buy it now, do I have to spend it by tomorrow, or can I take my time? I get groupon deals sent to my email, and the one time its something I would buy, i didnt get anything...
