What 20% off coupon are you referring to? (I have the Frito-Lay one)

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Still can't post links but if you go to TRU.com and check out their weekly ad section they have a big brands online catalog with a bunch of coupons including the 20% off a Skylanders item.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Thank you!

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Sorry I didn't get back on here any sooner. I have had to teach classes from about 11:45 until now. If you can't find that coupon then let me know and I can email you the pdf file with it and a bunch of other coupons. It even has a 20% off Disney Infinity coupon in there.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I see the mention of Save 20%, but I can't find any link to the coupon. What am I missing here?

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Sent you a PM. Thanks in advance.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Any chance TRU would take both the 20% off, and the Frito Lay $10 coupon?

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

They should as one is manufacturers and the other is from the retailer themselves. I guess we shall see.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I sent you the PDF. Please let me know you got it. Thanks!

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Thanks much. I'll let you know how it goes!

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Also, the buy one get one 40% off sale on games and figures has been confirmed. I am planning on buying both console games and trying to use the 10 off coupon for each of the copies as they are manufacturer coupons. It would come out the same as using the 20% off coupon on each one. However, if they give me a hard time then I'll split them up and use a 20% off and a 10 off coupon for each one. We shall see what happens.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Is it too late to get the Hex deal through Toys R Us? If the 20% off stacks with the $10 off coupon at Toys R Us, and I can get the Hex figure, then I'll skip my Target preorder.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

No. I went in last night and talked to the Rzone associate. The pre-order cards were still available so I grabbed one ($1), and asked about the coupon stacking. She said the normal policy is a manufacturer coupon, and store coupon stack, but she didn't know if they would have a disclaimer sign about their 20% off coupon not working on Swap Force. The coupon supposedly was intended for Giants, but the wording doesn't reflect that (nor does the expiration date).

I will find out at midnight I guess. If for some reason they only allow one I'll push for the 20% off coupon as I figure even $59.99 at launch is the best price I'll see. Some of the TRU figures are supposed to be $2 higher than retail so I don't know if I'll buy anything but the starter pack.

She did also say that the backroom was so full of Swap Force stuff that you almost couldn't walk through.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Yeah, just got back after getting a preorder card. The guy checking me out told me the 20% off coupon was only for what was pictured, which doesn't make much sense since the wording includes figures and packs along with the starter shown. He said he didn't know if the stacking would work either even if the 20% off worked. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

What about the buy one get one for 40% off plus the manufacturer coupon(s)? They really shouldn't play hardball with the 20% off as Disney Infinity has had multiple occasions where you could get it for 20% off or 25 dollars off since it was released.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Bought the 360 version last night at TRU. The cashier gave the 20% off coupon a good look over (I assume he was reading the fine print), but scanned it and the Frito Lay coupon and they both came off automatically.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Did you grab any extra figures? Any early impressions of the game itself? We are heading to TRUS in a few minutes for the 8 o'clock opening and grabbing the PS3 and 3DS versions then heading back home and hitting the bed for a bit. I plan on grabbing a few packs of characters as well.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Gonna grab a Wii U Dark Edition...and that's probably it. Comes with 5 figures + free Hex...so I should be good.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Is there a wireless Wii U Portal? Or something that would work with it?

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

All versions come with a new portal.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

But Wireless?

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Damn I need to stay away from this. I still have boxes of unopened skylanders and giants figures in the basement. Maybe if it goes for $30 on BF...

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

At first they were not going to let me use all three coupons (free Hex counted as one), but the manager eventually did an override for it.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Just got back from TRU. Went at 9; it was empty but open. It turns out their Buy One, Get One 40% off deal was so good that I skipped out on my Best Buy 360 preorder and picked up the 360 version (second to last one on the shelf) along with my preordered 3DS version at TRU instead. Used two $10 off Frito coupons and got both starter kits (with six unique figures) and one free Lightcore Hex figure for $98.98 + tax in one single transaction. Great deal, but I'm going to have buy another figure or something in order to qualify for that free exclusive figure. :lol:

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Here is our haul.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

We got two Lightcore Hexs for free but I was able to swap one plus about a dollar difference for the Lightcore Grim Creeper.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Holy crap.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

QFT.

BTW : I don't know about the WiiU, but the 360 still uses a wired portal.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

While I don't know for sure I'd say that since *all* versions of Giants, other than the DS, came with a wired portal the Swap Force one will also be wired for all versions.

I think Activision got a lot of grief from people who don't understand wireless tech (and have trouble reading/following instructions for same) and couldn't grasp the concept of rechargeable batteries for the portal so they just went wired on all consoles to stop complaints. I much prefer the wireless myself and we've not had any trouble with ours using rechargeable batteries.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

There were jump pads that would launch you.

This game looks way better than the previous versions.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Grabbed the Dark edition and the free Hex.

Would love the get more...but might wait a few weeks. Maybe a Hoot Loot....

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Just the 3DS version had jumping.

I haven't even played Giants yet...

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Took the kiddos to check out Target's supply. They looked for a few minutes and were ready to move on. No longer interested. My wallet breathed a sigh of relief.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Gonna grab a few more tomorrow....too damn addicting.

Thankfully I skipped Disney Infinity.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Any Wii U owners grab this and wanna exchange friend codes?

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

my kids will be getting it (the game and the system) for Christmas) so once we've got it out and set up I will.

By the way, my 4yo son and I played 10 rounds of Battle Arena on the original game tonight. He beat me 3 of the 10 games. He was happy!

The original is still fun! ;)

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

I actually like the design of most of the new characters. I think the game is a worthwhile addition and I like that they added the ability to jump to all of the characters throughout the series. The graphics are a huge improvement as well as we have the PS3 version.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Sorry for the late reply. I only played the first level after getting home from the midnight launch (which was a mistake since it ended up taking a little over an hour). I thought the gameplay was good, felt like Skylanders with the ability to jump. I was surprised by the large number of different elemental/movement gates in the first chapter. The only extra character I grabbed so far was Enchanted Hoop Loop at Walmart. Rumor is TRU was getting wave 2 early again, but no confirmation on that headed out this morning to look.


I didn't have a coupon for Hex. I just showed them the pre-order card and receipt and I think he adjusted the price on Hex. I'm sorry now I missed the week or so when they were doing the second free figure for pre-orders.

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Just an FYI for GS's Dark Edition. The $10 chip promo coupon doesn't scan, I couldn't use it :-( Also, the Hex figure is not free, the cashier has to do something to make it free (the guy said told me there's a corporate e-mail on that). It's a bummer that I can't use the $10 coupon!

re: Skylanders, Anyone?
 

Are any stores selling lightcore hex?
