Damn. Would take advantage of this, but as of right now GTA and Kingdom Hearts may have been my last two ps3 games purchased since I am saving for ps4

 
Pretty jive that they are charging $2 more per swappable Swap Force character. I could deal with the $1 more they have been charging for previous figures but this is a little much.
 
At least the 20% coupon knocks them back to 'regular' price, but you can't get the Gil Grunt figure that way (as you can only use one coupon per transaction).

 
Hey... My friend and I were going to get Pokemon X/Y anyway so we each save $8 if we split the savings. Not the best deal, but not too shabby for a new release.

The $100 purchase requirement for the metallic Gill Grunt is cumulative till the end of the year, the purchase status is tracked by your reward account.

Oh - that's great news then! Does your Reward Account prompt the cashier when you've hit your limit? It seems like them holding onto boxes of Gil Grunt until December is a stretch, though...

 
Supposedly they just hand you the coupon? So just ask nicely.
Hah I meant like using them in conjunction with this deal. I should have 2x $10 off coupons from the Pokemon X&Y deal tomorrow and would love if Sunday then I could turn around and use those coupons on GTA V and something else and get a nice deal though I am not sure how the deal would work seeing as it probably would take off the $10 on the one that is 40%. Completely depends how everything is rung up for the b1g40%

 
It looks like it would be used on the first game. The $10 coupon has to be used on any regular priced game $39.99 or more.
That would be beyond awesome if for example you buy 2x $60 games with 2x coupons and get $10 off each one first and then 40% off the one essentially getting 2 $60 titles for only $80.

I really doubt that it would ring up that way however though I certainly am hopeful! Haha if it works that way I will cave and get GTA then!

 
Since I do not have a 3DS, I like the extension of the deal next week to all games.  Now I just have to consider what combination of Dragon's Crown, Disgaea 3, and Diablo 3 to get.  I guess I could throw GTA5 in there as well as an option.

The coupon won't work on the 40% off game. If it works at all it'd be $60 - $10 for one, then $60 - $24 for the other game with the sale, bringing your total to $86 plus tax.

 
Yep if that works that will be a good deal

I'm thinking about Zelda wind walker $50($40) and another game that's $50($30)

If the coupon works with the promotion
Actually this deal doesn't start until Sunday; however, this exact same deal is going on RIGHT NOW at ToysRus for any Wii U or 3DS games, including pre orders!

I just pre ordered Super Mario 3D World, DKC Tropical Freeze, Call of Duty Ghosts, Assassin's Creed 4, Watch Dogs, Sonic Lost World Wii U, Sonic Lost World 3DS, and Zelda Link Between Worlds. I had to make 2 separate orders, because you're only allowed 3 discounts each.

I would have ordered both Pokémon X and Y as well if not for the fact I want the special 2-game pre order bonus through Gamestop. Batman Arkham Origins is already $49.99 + $10 gift card at Amazon so I didn't bite on that one, and I already have Wonderful 101, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Rayman Legends, Zelda Windwaker HD and Pikmin 3. 2014 games like Smash Bros 4, Mario Kart 8 and Bayonetta 2 aren't listed right now on ToysRus' website, otherwise I would've snatched them up also.

What's the 2 game pre-order bonus through gamestop? I've got both pre-orders at he but also went in s couple days ago and threw $1 on both at tru for the b1g1 40% and the $10 coupons
 
Debating on waiting until Sunday to get Pokémon X/Y for me and my son now.  That would be amazing to cop both for around 60 odd bucks.

 
After going to TRU tonight since my girlfriend had to get Pokemon immediately, I am not sure how good of a sale this is simply due to the selection.  The TRU here did not have Dragon's Crown or Diagaea D2 which I wanted to get later.  Their selection overall was quite poor.

 
Josh,

There was a promotional item in this weeks ad for a special edition Skylanders Gill Grunt action figure for Rewards R Us members who make a $100+ purchase of skylanders. This figure was not available at any stores on Sunday, and furthermore there was no protocol for stores to take down names/numbers or provide a raincheck. There should be a memo sent out to stores to remedy this issue.

Furthermore, when attempting to purchase a SINGLE video game, the $10off or $15off coupons do not currently work, and require an override. With the buy 1 get 1 40% off promo, a single game will ring up at regular price, but be listed as a promo item in the system, thus making the coupon void on an attempt to purchase just a single game.

Coupon for the free Gill Grunt will be sent out in January to your email address thats linked to your rewards-r-us account.

 
Brother caved and decided he wanted to jump on the Pokemon X/Y bandwagon. Think we'll jump on this offer while we can.

 
Whelp. Bought both Pokemon X and Y for $69 after tax. Store a few miles down the road is the only one in the area to have both games in stock, so I'll be swinging by later this afternoon. Even saved a few bucks with this deal-- certainly won't complain about that!

 
Just got back from Toys R' Us with my copy of Pokemon X and my brother's copy of Pokemon Y.

I haven't played a Pokemon game since Red/Blue, but I'm about to open up X and get back into it. Here goes nothing.

 
Anyone have any luck stacking the TRU %20 off any Skylanders purchase with the $10 Frito Lay coupon?
Yes, I was able to do that and got the starter set for $49.99 + tax.

I pre-ordered so I also got the free Hex Lightcore and a free $10.99 figure (got Roller Brawl). I tried adding the Tower of Time to take advantage of the buy one get one 40% off deal, but they couldn't get it to work right. They told me the 40% was coming off the lowest price item which was one of my free items and there was nothing they could do about it. After a little complaining on my part they got a manager who agreed to just sell me the Tower of Time by itself at 40% off.

 
Confirmed that you cannot use any tru coupons on the b1g140% deal. Games scan as "promotional items" thus rendering the coupons invalid had to ask for a manager and argued.

this feels like a scam lol, though I know it has more to do with incompetence than thievery. That said...pathetic. We should be able to use them on something like this. I should've known this was a fallacy the minute I found out that my first $10 gift card lasts a month then expires. Probably won't be able to use it on anything lol. Lord knows what other restrictions are put on these cards.

guess I'll stick to basic b1g1 deals and completely ignore anything having to do with gc or coupons.

the KGB had a saying when inflation was so high and the frank was almost worthless: "they pretend to pay us, so we'll pretend to work." similarly; TRU pretends to give you a deal, so I pretend to shop there and take the promos seriously.
