    Human Alliance is not included in the list of eligible products. :(

    It's not open to Canadians, so I'm out. Also, the Deluxes are probably all the shelfwarmers they have gotten sent back to them.

    SON OF A BISCUIT EATER!!!

    I just bought Nebular Starscream yesterday with a legends Sideways! Well, guess I'll just go return both of them, then re-purchase them immediately to get today's date...and Voila. $25 spent and 3 more deluxes. I have all the deluxes except alliance BB, but then, I can always display them in their alt modes next to their robot modes. In any case, it's money already spent. So, win, win.

    Wonder if we'll see eBay flooded with these later this summer.

    G.a.P.

    Ok, for online orders I have a question for someone who might understand how this would work better than me. If you order something from Amazon, what exactly would you need to print out and send in for this? Would the auto-confirm email you get right after placing the order work? It seems to have all the pertinent information, toy name, total cost, order number, billing address, and that jazz.

    It's too bad human alliance figures don't qualify, I would do that offer 2 or 3 times over. I had been holding out on those things as it seems like it's $30 for what is essentially a slightly lower class alternator.

    KICK ASS, I have only gotten 2 deluxe figures since the line started last year (Swerve and Thrust), so pretty much anything I get will apt to be "new" and something I don't have.

    The big question is...do I roll the dice on two orders and risk getting multiples of the same figure?

    I;m expecting Wheelie, Jolt, Sideways, and maybe yellow Rampage to be common recipients, IF they are shipping out old stock. If they are clearing out backlog of newer Nest cases? That would kick ASS

    Sweet. I'm kind curious if you can send in multiple forms per every $25 sent. Probably not, but I wouldn't mind troop building some of these.

    Where can one find the list of eligible products? I tried looking at their T&C's but didn't see anything in there....

    I think these contests are great.
    Especially to help kids get excited about Hasbro.
    Sadly though this contest is not applicable in Canada, so none of my nephews can play.

    Interesting promotion. Just got a $100 I wasn't expecting (for graduating college), so there's a good chance I'll be buying some TF's in the near future. Will probably get a Voyager and a Deluxe, or I might even get the BBvsSW 2-pack. Will have to wait and see what's still in-stock around my area.

    Hopefully the three Deluxe's are one's I don't already have. Though Knowing my luck, I'll already have all three of them, lol.

    Is it listed somewhere that this is only valid for ROTF figures? I'm not seeing it anywhere in the TOC. Shouldn't I just be able to preorder Drift and Thrust from HTS and wait for my 3 free deluxes to arrive?

    "Send in this completed order form with the original receipt(s) showing the purchase of at least $25 (not including sales tax) of the following qualifying products: TRANSFORMERS Voyager Class, TRANSFORMERS Leader Class, TRANSFORMERS Deluxe
    Class, TRANSFORMERS Scout Class, TRANSFORMERS Legends Class, TRANSFORMERS POWERBOTS™, TRANSFORMERS NEST Battle Pack, TRANSFORMERS Bumblebee Helmet."

    :lol 

    I wouldn't be surprised, 9 out of 10 deluxes I see now are Tuner Mudflaps, with some of the original version thrown in.

    ^ It's not a contest, just an offer. I bet the 3 deluxes will be Mudflap, Mudflap, Mudflap.

    That's what I was thinking too. Eligible products include any TRANSFORMERS Deluxes, Voyagers, etc. Doesn't state original ROTF line, NEST, or whatever. The heading of the promotion and all the examples are Revenge of The Fallen, but it's still not totally clear. I'm going to try it with some NEST figures, and I don't see why they wouldn't accept them...

    I edited my post above to include the conditions from the form:

    "Send in this completed order form with the original receipt(s) showing the purchase of at least $25 (not including sales tax) of the following qualifying products: TRANSFORMERS Voyager Class, TRANSFORMERS Leader Class, TRANSFORMERS Deluxe
    Class, TRANSFORMERS Scout Class, TRANSFORMERS Legends Class, TRANSFORMERS POWERBOTS™, TRANSFORMERS NEST Battle Pack, TRANSFORMERS Bumblebee Helmet."

    No mention of ROTF. I take the pics to be examples of TF products at the correct size.

    This message from Hasbro is like saying they have tons of inventory while no retailers want to sell anymore.

    And it is so vague that the page didn't state which 3 deluxe(s) will be getting... although the pictures shown three different deluxes; I still think they are going to do it randomly; it 'd be freaking hilarious if one gets three shellwarmers like tuner mudflap... and I bet I 'd be pissed... So this promotion FAILS.
