Hasbro have announced a new promotion "Play Rewards".

You can receive up to $50 in Toy and Games rewards when you purchase Hasbro branded products, including Transformers.

To redeem your Rewards Points, you must mail in an order form as well as copies of your original store receipts.

The "Play Rewards" promotion runs from February 1 200 until March 23 2008, and is open to residents of the United States of America.

To check out the "Play rewards" website, please click here. To download the order form, please click here.

Hope you didn't get this from tformers.com

Oh cruel fates, you mock me!!!

There was a BUY button under both Classics CJ and Jetfire. Alas, they were out of stock as usual.

If we can use past receits, I'm a millionair!

Does this include online orders too or just the items you buy in stores?

I caught part of a promo for hasbrotoyshop.com...can't remember if it was today or last night... No matter: either way, I think it might have been for this.

At this point you might be better off waiting for Henkei versions (assuming that's what the line's being called in Japan) to drop. I would if I didn't already have all the figures I want from this line.

I find it very funny that one of the figures they count is Alternators Rodimus, aat toy that sold out 5 minutes after it went online back 8 months ago! If I could buy I would.


When did 3 inch Soundwave come out? I missed it completely in stores.

the united states is really getting me jealous! australia hasnt got anything in the transformers when it comes to conventions and prizes wise

Why do they always come out with these promotions after everyone has been buying their junk for at least 6 months now? Unless this is a ploy by Hasbro to get you to buy more of their crap.

dammit. like 90 percent of my collection was bought on eBay.
I did buy 3 figures last week from a store though.
And with Animated and Universe coming out...

This would be great. I'd have more than enough to get my $50 with just my alternator collection. It's a shame this wasn't running longer as I don't have receipts for 95% of this crap!

*sighs*

Yay! Now I can but more Transformers! And with the money I save, buy even MORE Transformers!

Interesting......

You got it on the very first try!

I am aiming for full $50 reward, now my evil plan's at work. Hehehe!

However after reading the web details and rebate form, I like to point out a couple of things worth noting here:

1) Not all TF figures qualify, only the ones listed on HTS.com do. So pay attention carefully on what to buy or submit receipts with. (http://www.hasbro.com/playrewards/default.cfm?page=products/catalog&brand_id=496&sort=displayname&viewall=yes)

2) I am not too confident submitting Target receipts, as they don't specifically list out toy names, but they only show assorted class DPCI numbers & the word "Transformers", Hasbro "might" not accept those receipts

Any other thoughts/inputs?

Cheers,
Coolpop

Man this started back in the year 200 I am way late to this party man what type of tfs did they have back then Wheelnator transform

Not that I would do this, but I wonder if their computers are smart enough to look for returns. Can I just buy $100+ worth of Transformers, send the receipt to Hasbro, then 89 days later walk into Target and return the toys without a reciept for a full refund, as is their policy?

Eh, I've already got the entire Clssics line (Minus Ultra Magnus and Skywarp) but all the others I already have, so I will have to wait until universe, assuming that they keep this play rewards system around for that long.

Why not just reinstate/reimagine Robot Points? Save up enough and mail in for free figures or something.

It's too bad this ends so soon. I'll probably buy some board games instead, I'm done with the Movie line.

YAHOO!!!!!!!!!....


NO! rather... GOOGLE!!!!!

Shame that offer won't be around when Universe and Animated come out, we would all be sitting pretty.

Too bad I don't save my receipts. Once I make sure a TF isn't broke upon opening, I don't keep them.

"Offer valid on purchase of listed Hasbro brands from 2/1/08 through 3/23/08. Original store-identified cash register receipt(s) dated from 2/1/08 through 3/23/08 must be submitted."

Looks like past receipts are no good. And there's really not much I want in the stores right now. By the time the Animateds roll out, this offer will be done.

THey want you to spend more money. As the government talks about giving every tax payer a Bonus 600$ return to help boost the economy you'll see alot of ploys like this from many companies to get you to spend your 600 bucks with them. Too bad there is nothing new on the shelves to buy within the small window they gave us.
