What kind of discount? 30% off or 50% off?

Where do you get the $5 off coupon? I clicked on the link in my email and it doesn't take me to it. It is suppose to be good til today.

So I called customer service today about the coupon not showing up and it was pulled due to "technical difficulties" .. What a bunch of bull .. If anybody was able to print an extra coupon or two and can scan it to my email I would greatly appreciate it .. Just send me a PM .. Thanks

Well, that could be the reason I couldn't find it. Total bs!

I don't know how much the original prices were, they just had the basic clearance price tag stickers on them, I 'm assuming probably 30% as it seems thats what its been everywhere. The safari and police sets were $7 each, minifigure case was $2.50, Ivan Mater was $5 and Agent Maters escape was $11

It seems to have disappeared/no longer available. I had it up on my phone on tuesday and today I went to pull it up and its gone even though the coupon was valid until today. I've checked and a lot of people have run into the same thing with no explanation from TRU

So is there anything worth getting that works out to be a deal with the 15 off 50 coupon?

The new creator seaside house would be around $35 .. I think I'll bite on that today

Got the seaside house today. both coupons worked together but they didnt want to work with the free thor figure. they were nice enough to reduce it to a penny.

The tru store supposedly had 2 thor polys. Of course I couldn't find any. Tried to convince the clerk to substitute the frodo poly. He wouldn't do it. Ended up getting the Republic Striker and Frodo poly for $42.

Is there a place to get the Monster Fighters polybags other than eBay? (Ghost 30201 & Zombie Coffin Car 30200)

They're the exact two minifigs I'd like to buy but I never heard of them releasing in the U.S. I'm hoping something happens around Halloween.

I'm hoping that Target will have these and CMF Series 8 in their Halloween section. They usually have polybags in their Halloween and Xmas section.

My Tower Bridge arrived today. So many bags for that set.

Picked up series 8 - cheerleader, diver, cowgirl, dj, football player and skier

FYI - apparently (according to a member at another board) the TRU $15 off $50 purchase will work for minifigs even though the coupon says its for construction sets. Gonna give it a shot when I go back to pick up more this weekend

Toys R Us has been a bit of a disappointment this week - no Batman Funhouse Escape sets anywhere in SoCal and unable to order it online make the $15off$50 coupon all but useless for me, not to mention none of the stores again had the Thor or Batman polybags left despite a couple of nearby stores showing at least the Batman poly as being in stock and again unable to order them. I did get a couple of the Frodos and other polybags as well as blind packs from series 6-8 for free thanks to the $5 coupon.

Took a couple of pics at the Target near me of this to share with you folks, some dirtbag thief popped out or cut open the side of those plastic/acrylic display cases with the Marvel and DC minifig display and took all he/she could probably reach. The bum(s) apparently couldn't get Thor and the Hulk.

Just got all 16 of series 8 at TRU. With the $15 0ff $50 coupon it was $43 for the lot. $2.55 per fig. Not bad!

This series must be easy to feel--either that or I'm getting better at it. I only missed one fig (got two Conquistadors, I felt the armor and guessed it was the Football player--I don't mind, the Conquistador is REALLY nice--possibly the secret best of the bunch--after the diver.)

I predict the Diver is going to be hardest to get. Not only is he the most prominent on the box--and the most interesting, but you can feel that HUGE helmet in a second. You can almost SEE which packet the Diver is in. Get him while you can. (I'd like a small army of them myself--or at least a team of, say, five...)

I bought 16 from TRU with a bunch of $5 coupon over a few days. I was rushing and grabbed 4 at random because they were at the front desk. Now I have 2 cheerleaders, man-bat, alien, and cowgirl as extras. Need actor, Conquistador, robot, diver, and Santa which are basically the ones I want the most.

Be nice if that would stack with the $15 off coupon but it seems to indicate it wouldn't. 20% barely covers the markup.

So I bought a jabba's palace at a target and the 6 of the 10 minifigures had been stolen including jabba and now target does not want to give me my money back .. Is this something Lego support would be willing to help me on?

Certainly, but they will most likely have you send a copy of your receipt and some details about the set, such as some alphanumeric code printed somewhere on the instruction manual. Call them up and explain the situation.

Well they should give the money back!
