^yes it would. Tru counts a printed invoice as a receipt, which it is. As long as the 4 figures were from the waves listed as acceptable in the advert, you'll get your figure. This is the same basic promotion all toy companies have been using for years. Star wars, gi Joe, they all use this model, just not usually through 1 store. Sorry, no online receipts from toysrus.com will be accepted.

I see this as getting a free figure for four figures I already was going to buy. Don't do something like buy 4 figures you DON'T want just for the one you do. I'm sure between those 4 lines, you can find 4 things you want between now and F'N September! Although I will agree that this does suck for International buyers. I don't get why Canada isn't included though, it's at least on the same continent Clearly written by a man blessed to not have the absolute pits in his local TRU stores. I envy you, good sir.

This is a very smart promotion, it sucks we cant get it in canada or the u.k but this means a brighter future for mattel.
By putting out this exclusive the way they are doing it , they are going to clear out the Legends 2 packs off the shelves and whatever else junk is there so hopefully they can put new stuff on the shelves.
i just hope that once legends gets the fix in the states , if they keep going that is , that after that distribution in canada and uk get better

From the last Q&A - Why aren't Legends distributed at retail in the United Kingdom? Is it an issue with retailers or is it a decision Mattel made to not offer the figures to them? International distributors pick and choose what they buy from our line. We offer our intire lines to everyone with the exception of exclusives. Unfortunately there are even less collectors in our International markets than in the US. Between this and gas prices you guys must be hurting!!!

This is obviously so Mattel can clear out all the old crap sitting on TRU shelves. I hope to get this. Luckily it is until September so I can get more Defining Moments unless TRU gets new Elites....otherwise I'm screwed cause TRU doesn't stock new stuff except for DMs and Basics and sometimes 2-packs....

What about if we cut off the UPCs from the boxes of the Legends 2-packs, DM3 that we already own (to those who keep the packaging), re-buy the figures at TRU and use the gift receipt to return them. Will that work?
I throw away the boxes of my figures so I can't and wouldn't do it anyway.
As for the figure itself, it looks great and definitely something that I would want to own. I'd wait for eBay, but the value of the figure could go either way so I am not risking it. Hopefully my TRU will get some Elite 9 and Legends 5 soon, since sadly the promotion doesn't include Basics.

I am willing to pay $5 per receipt & SKU # (from bottom of packaging) for Legends/Legends 2-packs/Elites purchased @ Toys R Us from 7/3/11 - 9/3/11.
I am also willing to purchase and ship Legends/Legends 2-packs/Elites for collectors without access to Toys R Us in exchange for receipt/SKU # (from bottom of packaging).
I have PayPal. PM me if you are interested.

Oh man, why the hell I'm living in Germany? I want this Vince McMahon so bad! It's an awesome fig, it really looks like him! Oh man, I hope (but I don't think so) that someone will sell this fig at ebay! Great thing, Mattel!

Not trying to sound spoiled lol, but I'm extremely upset that I already own EVERY elite figure produced to date and I now have no choice but to buy 4 MORE that I already own and don't need just to get this figure. That means it's gonna cost me 60 bucks. No thanks I guess? If only there were another way to get the figure... There probly be another way to get it..... ebay!!! It wont cost you $60 though, it will be way more !!!! It sucks I just bought DM 3 at my TRU!!!! But deff going for this fig!!!

Legends 5 should be out here by next month, I can pick up the 2 I need for a custom, then all I have to do is randomly buy 2 more, I can throw them on ebay if needed and then boom, I got Vinnie Mac

I like that they are doing this promotion. It will help get rid of overstock and will allow us to get a Vince without it clogging the shelves.
Only problem is, I don't need anything that's out as I pre-order 98% of my wants. I suppose I can buy custom fodder.

Well, that promotion came out of nowhere. Cool looking figure, though.
