Finally the TRU 2009 Insecticons set on Ebay

Now today I'm on the fringe of ordering both Unite Warriors sets, and Ramjet.
Transformers Unite Warriors - UW-01 - Superion Set of 5
Transformers Unite Warriors - UW-02 - Menasor Set of 5
MP-11NR - Masterpiece Ramjet

 

Yah I just caved into the Trypticon purchase as well. Merry Xmas self.  

 

It's like Lewis Black and candy corn: every year I forget, and then I bite into BF... "SON OF A B*TCH!!!"  

I'm no expert, but $118 probably won't get you THAT model!    

Yeah, Nov/Dec is BRUTAL on my wallet!  
But I try to think of this time as a buy period, and then Jan-Mar can be a make-money-to-cover-deep-debt period!  

 

From HTS thread:

Check the eBay store for same deals!
New Home items in hasbrotoyshop store on eBay!

On eBay, the discounts are already taken off, PLUS you can earn eBay Bucks, too.

And if you haven't heard of eBates: Ebates: Coupons, Deals, Promo Codes & Cash Back EBates is like a shopping portal that links you to other sites. When you shop from eBates, you get some $$$ back every time you shop at the big sites like eBay (I've already earned $12 back from shopping at TRU, eBay, Newegg, Kohls, etc). I know it's a bit late to mention it, but it's slipped my mind for at least half of my shopping!  

I shop around and put things in my cart first. When I'm decided on what I want to get, I go through eBates portal, jump straight to the cart and check out. Bam! Quick money back. Like 5-8% back (as mailed check or Paypal deposit), depending on promo and store you buy from.

These past two weeks have been a nightmare/heaven. EVERYTHING IS ON SALE. It's taking all my willpower not to grab some of these Cyber Monday deals (Eupatorium and Volar especially)... I say as if I haven't already hit the Hasbro shop... and a few black friday deals... and Target's buy 2 get 1 free sale yesterday...  

 

Waited until the last minute, but finally picked up Maketoys Utopia from BBTS. I know it's been on sale for only 10 bucks more fairly recently, and I hemmed and hawed, but finally decided to just get it.

Not making the cut was Warbotron's not-Bruticus, something I had been tempted to get with the individual releases, but after reading through multiple (long) threads, and having invested in a smaller scale of gestalts already, I passed (unless someone changes my mind in the next couple of hours or so...   )

 

Does Target have the worst website in the world?  

Check the error message I'm getting when I try to add ANYTHING to the cart:
there's a line for this item.

So sorry for the delay, but you can save your place in line by staying on this page & trying again to add the item to your cart.

Thank you for your patience!

Uhhh... ok...   This is the first time I've been stuck in queue... online.  
Bad enough you like to crash my browser, Target.com, and I accept that you don't like tablets... but WTF is this???  

 

target must be really busy

 

Anyone else having trouble buying the Blitzwing/Astrotrain set from Amazon? I keep getting a " We're sorry!
An error occurred when we tried to process your request. Rest assured, we're working to resolve the problem as soon as possible. If you were trying to make a purchase, please check Your Account to confirm that the order was placed. We apologize for the inconvenience. " error when I use one-click, and various other errors or get kicked back to My Cart when I try normal checkout.

edit: OK, it finally went through after 30 minutes of trying...

 

I had been waiting awhile for a sale on the box sets of Superion and Menasor. At that price I bought two of each... I loved the boxed sets as a kid and these are just awesome.

 

Target's been getting hammered all day because of the 15% deal that applies to almost everything. They had to pull some items off the site because they were basically losing their shirts. I don't think they quite figured this whole web commerce thing.

 

Eupatorium was on sale? Argh how did I miss that?

 

Target has done nothing but piss me off for, like, the entire past week. I got this same error message earlier today, and after the shit they've put me through since Thursday, I was just like "Fuck it, you ain't gettin' my money then, assholes."

 

Yup, Target's stock dropped a tiny bit yesterday because of their piss-poor website. Unfortunately, it went back up today after announcing they sold a shit ton of stuff during the holiday weekend

 

For me, it was more so their piss-poor customer service.

 

Any coupon/promo codes out there for RobotKingdom that are still useful?
