I love this idea. It reminds me of when Jakks did the mail away figures in the TTL days. Everyone bitching about owning every Elite and Legends, no one asked you to order online. Plus I'm sure you will be able to get the figure on here or on ebay. It's not like you won't be able to get the figure some how. I'm sure Mattel is making enough to go around, especially since you can get 5 per house hold. There will be more than enough Vince Mcmahon figures to go around that after it's out a couple of months you will probably be able to get it for pretty cheap.
I'm just hoping with this promotion that this means TRU starts getting Elite and Legends in. With a promotion like this I think that they will, so overall this could be better for collectors all around.

lol, I love all the scumbags already trying to figure out a way to cheat the contest to not pay for full price figures.
I have an idea.....how about just follow the rules?

WTF? I've had quite a bit of brandy, but I'm sure you're still out the cost of the four figures you picked up on clearance. Why not just buy 4 figures you want from TRU during the qualifying 2 month period? Some people may be over thinking this, trying to beat the system, and doing too much whining about having to cut out UPCs. This is a common way to run a mail-in promotion.

I kind of like this idea. Maybe Mattel will release announcers and such this way. I just wish TRU had a good selection.

What if: I go to TRU and purchase 4 Legends figures and get the gift receipt to go along with the original. Then I go to Big Lots/Target and buy 4 Legends figures on clearance. THEN go back to return the figures I just bought at Big Lots/Target on the cheap with the gift receipt I just got through my first visit at TRU? Can I do that or am I missing something? I would like to apologize for this. I realize it would be a tremendous waste of time to try and cheat the system. Just trying to save myself some money in a tough economy. Here's to hoping TRU actually gets something worth buying!

In a way this could be good for us as collectors because that means tru might actually get new stuff in. They've done a few mattel promotions like this and got newer merchandise. Either way I'll buy enough to get my McMahon.

Hell when was the last time TRU got in an Elite set at all? I think the last time I seen Elites in TRU was series 6.

I was gonna go to TRU next week, but I think I'll hold off a week now and get this. Looks great. I was planning on getting Bulldog and Vader. Just need to find two more to get.

Canada Burns like Usual, oh well c'est la vie, we still have ebay and the Scalpers I don't know if this applies to this kind of thing or not but.. Last week someone from Canada asked Howard Stern why Canada doesn't get to participate in his contests/prize giveaways. Howard was told that to run a contest in Canada you have to comply with all the laws of the Provinces and Territories. It's not worth the time and effort to them to research all the details, so they exclude them. If you fail to comply, or violate whatever law/regulation that Province or Territory has, you risk being fined by the Canadian Government. Again, I don't know how factual that is, that's just what they said.

Well, Legends 5 Savage/Bam Bam and Legends 6 Warrior/Eddie were already on my to-get list. This just sweetens the deal....assuming TRU stocks them. Honestly though, it's a cool promotion. I'd love to see something like this every summer if they were able to. It's a smart way to do a more semi-risky seller that's still appealing enough to entice you to buy more than you'd maybe plan to. I hope the upcoming Elites (presuming they'll be made again) in Wrestlemania 27 are included.

Don't blame Mattel, Blame Canada. ;D

You have to pay 5 bucks for shipping, plus you have to ship 4 CARDS in, and that will cost about $1.50 to ship. So it's really a $70.99 figure.
I hope that Mattel NEVER releases a figure of Vince besides this one.

BTW I reread those instruction and I could see why someone would think to send in the card.

UK gets the shaft again. What a stupid way of releasing a Vince figure - they should have made it the SDCC exclusive or sold it on Matty Collector... the scalpers are going to have a field day with this.
