WST 5th dino question. not free?

i thought that the 5th dino with all the missle launcher of the previous dinobots were free. but according to TFsource, it's not? even with the UPC codes? am i reading this correctly?

http://tfsource.com/Reissues/WST%20M...ry-figure.html

if it's only 5 bucks off, i would rather have the boxes intact. but isn't that false advertisement by Justitoys?

I was always under that impression as well. $5 off is nothing, particularly since this one is actually $10 more expensive than any of the previous ones. Would be interesting to go back and see what the specific wording actually was back when the first three were released.

I could understand if it's not 100% free, as obviously TFsource has to pay import costs and shipping, but the $5 off is quite laughable considering the $10 price hike on the smallest of all the dinobots. Granted, it comes with missile launchers, which is nice and would justify a higher price, but one would think that the mail-in would at least make it the same price as the regular figures...

Oh well. Being an addict that I am, I'll buy two of him at the higher price anyway :\

Yeah, I thought you had to send the 4 first boxes to get the 5th one for free.

I thought Swoop would be free with the UPC codes as well, but it's not surprising it's not. I'm willing to pay for it anyway, I wasn't looking forward to cutting apart my boxes.

I thought we just send the UPC codes directly to JUSTITOYS and they will send them FREE for us. right?

Apparently not. Obviously a lot of us thought that was the case, but now they're saying it's not.

same here. Its not even worth it to cut apart all 5 boxes, take the time to mail the points in...just for 5$ off. Might as well just pay 5$ more.

but that would be false advertisement. If it was printed free in the first 3 dino boxes, ,shouldn't we get the 5th one free? i don't have a problem paying for the 4th one, but the last one should be free as stated.
