They mention the movie ticket in the ad I posted a link to above. Maybe you should take your receipt back to the store and ask them about it?

I have no hesitation about shopping for TFs or other toys as a 35-year-old man, but going to an event like this, that's aimed at children, is another story. (It even says "Event intended for children" in the email.) They'll probably have a table set up for kids to play with the toys, and I don't want to be the creepy looking guy that all the moms are pulling their kids away from.
If you're an adult, shop for TFs all you want, but don't go to kids' events. It would be like going to Chuck E. Cheese by yourself for lunch, or hanging out in the playground area at McDonalds. You're going to look like a child predator.

I'm planning to get a few figures at TRU sometime by this Saturday to get a free DOTM ticket, but I'll try to go before 2 PM or after 4 PM so that there aren't tons of kids there.

Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Thanks for the info dude. I've been eyeing Kreo Starscream (I'm a huge fan of anything Starscream), but was a little hesitant to spend 30 bucks on a figure I'd just keep in alt mode. At least tomorrow I can get the figure and a free movie ticket (normally 10 dollars). That way, it won't sting as much when I pay 30 dollars. Needless to say, I'll be there tomorrow!

Is it too late to grow out a Crustache and write, "Who loves free candy?" on a greasy t shirt?
Cause thats about the only way to pull this off if you don't have kids.

No problem happy to help. I have a few of the Kreo's already. Though I have been waiting to find the Starscream set myself. I believe it comes with a mini Soundwave as well which is pretty cool looking.

Soundwave comes with Sentinel Prime, not Screamer.

My bad you are correct. That's the other set I was looking into getting but I have yet to see either SS or SP in the stores near me.

I wonder if they have yet to be released? I have seen them online so maybe I'll buck up and pay for shipping and buy them.

Theyve been released. I saw starscream yesterday at tru but didnt buy him because the 30 dollar price tag was a little hard to swallow. I also saw sentinel at walmart.

I haven't seen the Kre-o line in any other store other than TRU, that's interesting. I agree though $30 is alot to spend especially when I could be using it for other TF that you know transform...

They had a similar "Try out the new Power Rangers Samurai Megazord" event just over a month ago. It'd be nice if this became a regular deal, as my TRU hasn't really done much of anything like this since Bakugan tournaments ended last year.
