Toys'R'Us: Transformers Mission!

Toys"R"Us have created a Facebook page for an event called "Transformers Mission!"
There isn't much info apart from
TRU wrote:Try out hot toys based on the new hit movie!

It sounds as if there will be loose Transformers Dark of the Moon figures at Toys"R"Us stores across the US on 09 July from 14:00 (2 pm) - 16:00 (4pm) customers can try out, so this might be a great opportunity to try out a few figures you're on the fence on and see if they're worth your money.
There are also a couple of deals you can snag at the event:

  • Free DOTM movie ticket with every $25 spent on any Transformers action figures
  • $10 off of DOTM Leader Figures
  • First chance to get one of 12 different Kre-O action sets
  • Save $20 on Transformers bikes and Scooters

We also have this flyer for you!

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.

I doubt my TRU is actually having this event. They've got ads in the store up for some other in store event.

They did say the had Sentinel in, though. Wonder if I can borrow $25 from the wife...

Given that movie tickets are running about $9.50 these days this is a good deal. I would totally go to this event if I wasn't busy w/ my regular Saturday stuff.

this could totally backfire. the figures I've purchased so far (Sidewsipe, Skyhammer, Shockwave) have all had multiple parts popping off just removing from packaging never mind during transformations.

and has anyone actually got Shockwave's chest panel to seat properly? I bought two and both were unseated in package and won't seat at all leaving a gap in robot mode.

2 good questions, which I can answer since I work there and actually ran that Megazord event I mentioned in my last post. I should've known this thread would force me to fess up.

1. Because of a strict TRU policy of having just one person run it, not even sparing a second person to give them a bathroom break. Okay, so it was probably my fault for not asking, and I shouldn't complain about 2 extra hours on my paycheck, no matter how long I held it in.

2. The Megazords just sat in a cart in the break room for a month. I'd gladly retie twist ties to get any robot toy back in shape to sell, but the Zords were held in with zip ties that I had to cut, so I was stumped. They may have been sent back with the defectives, I'll have to check. Sometimes instructions for these events just get lost in the mail, be it the fault of the retailer or Hasbro.

Don't get your hopes up for them being given away as free samples at 4:00.

Go to the Customer Service desk, show them your receipt, and tell them you never received your free ticket.
They'll write down on the receipt that you've been given the ticket, and then you're free to go. No muss, no fuss, just a matter of waiting in line.

It's how I got one, just this past evening...when I bought the Ark. (FRIGGIN' AWESOME, GO BUY ONE, PEOPLE!)

Did anyone go? I made it there with my son and his friend. Not much there though I scored a free poster, a free pair of paper 3-D glasses with TF symbols on them. Best part of the day was using the coupons on the poster to buy Leader class SP for $27. That was a deal I couldn't pass up! They also had the Ark in stock for $28, it looks really cool but I passed because all the boxes were smashed and I didnt see myself taking it out to play with. Anyone else score anything?

That's beat sorry to hear that. I checked out two stores and both had the same thing going on a small table with a few deluxe DOTM figures out and one Kre-o figure to put together.

I went by and didn't see any shenanigans going on. I did get leader Sentinel Prime for $35 and got a free movie ticket, that was pretty sweet.

The TRU in my town only had Deluxe Ratchet, Cyberverse Hatchet, the Cyberverse trailer Megatron, and Kre-O Basic Bumblebee. When I got there, Ratchet was fine, Hatchet had his legs ripped off, Megs had his arm popped off, and Bumblebee was completely disassembled.
