that is why you buy now, pay tomorrow

 

But you can't be sure the item is eligible until the coupon is active.

Only a few rare ones. Most others don't even worth in the dollar bin.

I bought some spare Superchargers vehicles from TRU at $0.59 for my kid, cheaper and look better than buying hot wheels.

Thanks for the replies. That was what I was afraid of. I thought I had everything and hadn’t paid much attention once everything seemed to die off. And from past games I thought I would be able to pick them up for years and for next to nothing. I always regret buying things so early when I don’t play it right away, this would be the one thing that would be hard to find :p

 

Some of rare ones are still expensive like the Light and Dark expansions and traps for Trap Team.

And just checked the Lost Imaginite Mines on eBay and it's at much higher price than when TRU first released it and I bought a couple to resell. While I thought it's going to be limited, but TRU kept restocked it for a while and was included in 50% sale a few times.

Let me introduce you to AVS Foroms, and the Home Theater of the month feature article. While I will concur that I've yet to see anyone recreate IMax at home, many of the Home Theaters the members of AVS have rival and even surpass the best a commercial theater has to offer.

I was a member there for years, though not active. I meant in person I haven't seen.. and also the cost

It's odd to me that you're calling people fools for spending money on an experience they want and can afford. It's like people saying paying for games is foolish because they don't like games. It's a mute argument that amounts to "I don't understand so it's dumb".

There are still movies that give you better experience in theater like 3D IMAX, of course one can say you can make have a home theater but I've yet to see anyone has one at home that's anything comparable and the money spent can watch many movies in theater. I have a 3D TV and a very good sound system, but definitely can't compare.

 

Also, on a day of 105F+ outside, rather than running AC at home, grab a ticket and watch 2 or 3 movies in theater probably save enough electrical bill to cover the ticket.
