    I will say that I have every deluxe, and every cyberverse item from the line from the coupons, er...freebies now. I have a halloween stash for the kids that wear TF costumes.

    That said, I did pick up half of the deluxes that I would never have paid money for and found them really good in fact.

    Some of them are just god awful stinkers though. Skids and mudflap. There is just no DAMN excuse for such a poor toy.

    Jolt...what a turd.

    BB....suprisingly awesome.

    Nitro BB...even more awesome.

    Barricade....killer.

    Ratchet...not bad.

    I DID feel bad about goin nuts and clearing some stores out at first, but I got over it when I went back and seen NEW WAVES, so it did work out.

    I picked up Roadbuster and Topspin today using a Facebook coupon, so I've bought a few I would not have gotten otherwise.

    i had two links. the facebook link and a TRU link. I printed some at work and had a few others print from their PC's and then printed some more at home so i have about 10 legit coupons... but there really isn't anything i want at the moment. i still haven't picked up Dirge yet so ill try and grab him but other than that, im clueless. i only got a few DotM toys. Ultimate OP, Megatron, Shockwave, Crankcase and cyberverse ironhide and powerglide...none of the others interest me at the moment.

    what to do?

    Nope. Other than Megatron and Sentinel Prime I just can't get into the aesthetics of the line.

    Not with coupons and not if they were given out for free.
    I prefer the Generations line!

    The $5 off coupon (with Prime on the front) found in retail stores had an expiration date of 10/16/11, iirc.

    Nope. Only Sandstorm is staying... the other figures, minus their Mechtech, are going towards toy donations.

    I think you can print out the $5.00 off coupon once a day from coupon.com.

    Oops, just read the first page....only 2 per pc link.

    Nice display there.

    A little surprised you didn't get any of the Human Alliance Basics, they're pretty cool.

    i went out today at lunch to a few places to cash in on these $5 off coupons.

    started at TRU..2 for $18...

    ...i just stood there. all they had was BB, Jolt, Roadbuster and the TRU scan Ratchet.... uuhhh...none of them interested me at all. i had all of the deluxe generations figures.

    so i got the TRU scan Ratchet and a roadbuster and used two of the $5 off coupons.


    then i went to target...

    ....all they had to cyberfire BB, mydflaps, skids and roadbusters..... so i didnt get anything

    then went to walmart... all they had was BB, like 8 pegs of skids and two deluxe walmart exclusive OP's...so i got an OP.

    man, no wonder they are doing these promos... they have a tons for crap to move!

    I haven't bought a movie figure since Deluxe Thundercracker, and don't plan to buy any more till next year. If there was something worth buying out I would definitely take advantage of the coupons.
