    A friend of mine says he just saw the ad in person and the sale wasn't listed, but was for power rangers.

    If Junior saw it, I believe him. He's not one to BS us, especially about something TRU related.

    Called all my local places, and got attitudes and "we don't sell those here" from the staff.. so I'm guessing there's nada going on here yet.

    He didn't look hard enough, cause there's a sale for Power Rangers also. I work at a TRU, and I can guarentee it. It even has a pic of OP in box, Leobreaker and Jetfire, which I thought was odd since none of those toys are really around.

    Good sale though, im about to be a lot poorer.

    I'd say come up to Concord, but i've ransacked most of the good stuff. The other TRUs around should have the new titaniums and whatever wave of voyagers the VPrime repaint is in.

    See page 3 of the weekly ad for September 24 - September 30. You can find it online here:

    http://www1.toysrus.com/our/tru/prom/index.cfm#

    And yeah, there's alot of them. Out of the 8 page ad, 5 pages are the 'buy 2, get 3rd free' variety (at an average of 6 per page.

    Don't forget they will consider the lowest value one to be your free item. The sale asterisk specifically says "of equal or lower value" for the free one.

    Don't know if it's been posted yet but around where I hale from the TRU's are not carrying Alts anymore. Arcsylver and I checked and the costomer service folks said that they were showing negitive numbers in their comps and that the Alts were disconned in there as well. sucks much stink wind. will still have to go check it out though.
