I certainly plan on buying at least 4 of the designated figures in that time period. However, I generally like to keep my packages intact and we need to send in the entire bottom portion to receive the figure. I want the figure, (even though it is Jakks like) so I guess I need to buy duplicate figures that I didn't plan on buying. I am sure that I can use a duplicate Macho Man, but after that I am stumped. Also, if I spot Miz and Ryder before Sunday, I will buy them even though figures purchased before Sunday can't be used for this promo. Ideally I will find Miz, Ryder and Macho on Sunday and will just need one more. I can always use another Kofi.

I'm sure some people on here would be willing to buy loose figures.

If the promotion is too problematic for you, just don't take part in it.

I might just suck it up and send the bottom of mostly elites. However, having done this before with Gi Joe and Star wars, I usually regret it. Thanks for the comments though!  |

Yeah if you can't do it then don't. AND if you think it is "JAKKS like" then really don't. Why do it if you hate the figure? I wouldn't do it if it was some random Cena exclusive or something.
I get the complaint about being a MOC collector though, the receipt should be enough proof.

There is really no "can't" , just saying it is much better for non-MOC collectors. By the end, I'm sure I will get at least one. Just wondering if anyone felt the same (seems like I'm alone on this boat). On a brighter note I was able to pick up 2 Ryders and 2 Miz Elites over Lunch. 2 bad for be the offer does not start until 2 more days.

Nope. But I'm not a MOC collector.

I can see how this is tough for MOC collectors. It would be nice if the UPC was on the receipt and you could just in the receipt. Luckily, I'm a loose collector and I do need to go buy some figures for parts. I would have gone this week but I'll go Tuesday and take advantage of the promotion. For loose collectors the Vince really is pretty much free. Even though you have to buy 4 figures, you are still getting the 4 figures in addition to the Vince figure.

I'm mostly a MOC collector, so this does make it harder, but I do tend to end up buying extra of certain Elite figures if they are characters I never had previously from Jakks like say Ryder, Sheamus, etc. Problem is trying to find whatever you need only at TRU and only during the specified time period. As far as if you did just buy figures within the last few days you can take the receipt back to TRU on Sunday and they will do a refund/resell to you so you can get the current dated receipt for the promo.

Yup. frankiebabes, definitely do this. Being a UKer, the promotion is way too problematic for me to take part in. I'll end up just buying the figure online. |

I can't see TRU running the promotion over here, but I suppose there's a small chance Smyths will (well..... here's hoping, anyway). There's nothing to stop Mattel partnering with retailers in other countries. |

I think I will break down and use the box from miz and ryder since I have 2 of each I will still have 1 mib, pick up another Macho Man and free him from the package. I have to get one more. Maybe I will buy another bushwacker set. ouch. |

Do I have to bring the figure in with the receipt in order to get the adjustment on my receipt?

I think the reason they do the receipt AND the part of the package is to prevent people from buying the figures, getting a gift receipt, sending the regular receipt for the McMahon figure, then returning the figures with the gift receipt to the store. Having to send the bottom part of the package ensures that they will be clearing out the figures they have, which is the intention of this promotion.
I remember a few years back when Star Wars had something like this, they didn't have the package to send in, just a form that was in with the figure, there were issues as people were stealing the forms right out of the figure in the store to mail in. Sad but true.
