Again, $80 isn't an insignificant amount of money, but how can we expect releases like this if so many people won't even consider the purchase until it's marked down? Where's the incentive from the company to roll out these things if there's not enough people to put their money where their mouths are? This is why Mattel realised it was a bad idea to make another one. All credit to Jeremy from Wicked Cool Toys, he saw the posts on here and went for it, but it was never going to be a successful idea.

Sometimes people outsmart themselves.

Think I'll pick this up with my next rewards coupons come in the mail. 20% would make a huge difference.

picked one up today. Had a 15% off rewards so it was $74 total.
can't wait to set it up. hopefully not missing any pieces. Noticed stores are only getting 1 or 2 at a time as well. Probably smart for now

Looks doomed to fail again if people are only going to pick it up when it gets clearanced to 40-50% off. Over the years it's been " man if they came back out I'd buy one for 70-80! What a steal all are being gouged on eBay. For double and triple that " Now the the demand has been answered and boom, back to waiting for big lots and clearance which signals failure and it will be the second time and it will start the cycle again.... Rediculous.

I'm going to buy 3 when I find them and scalp them. Send me your money and salty tears in a few years.

i think another factor may be that people shy away from it because its not made by Mattel. WCT's effort is tremendous though and cant be ignored. Ill be getting one , but it just wont be for $80 .

If they have not shown up at your TRU check in the next few days. Another batch is showing up on the recent trucks. There should be a 20% off coupon going out around Aug. 1. It will take it down to $64. Still to high for me but with my employee discount it should be $57 or so. Might put one in layaway then.

Got my Elite Scale ring for 20 bucks at Big Lots, lol. I'm not wasting my money on a ring that just has different deco, and colors.

High, I've been waiting for some TRU discounts.....so this week, they are running their 20% off or sometime in August? Also I have stuff on layaway....I paid maybe half of it off already. If I wanted Toys R US to apply 20% to my layaway stuff how do I go about it. Should I pay it off first, then ask for the discount afterwards?

The 20% is a coupon attached to this month's Babies R Us catalog. If you are a rewards member you should have gotten it in the mail. As to your layaway question it depends on the store and the competency of the staff. In my store you would pay the layaway off and do a return, re-sale with the coupon assuming you do not have any items that were put into the layaway on sale.
