Did you happen to give that guy a smirk? You should've told him you'd be back tomorrow aha

 

I only got one cuz I got Prime, the scout I got was the yelow Scrapmetal. If I were in your shoes, I probably would've gotten all Scrapmetals.

But then they would "recognize" you...and give you the hairy eyeball! and not give you your free toys!

plus spending more time than usual.

I guarantee you that, if you did just that, they would not have cared at all. If you had bought one set of figures, left, and came back like ten minutes later, you could have had them all with no trouble.

Well, when all was said and done, I walked away with 2 yellow Scrapmetals, 1 Ransack GTS, 1 Backstop, 1 Lugnutz, 1 Armorhide, 1 Shortround, and 1 set of Giant Planet Minicons! I thinks that was loads better than walking away with one of them...

 

Not a bad deal for picking up those Classic figures and putting up a fight...

 

I might go back and score another Prime and Megatron if they are still there...I want to try painting them...and I might as well get a free Scout or two...hahaha

and thats how I got another yellow scrapmetal and ransack. I didnt have to fight so hard though. The girl running the register at the TRU I went to could have really given a crap less about what I bought, just as long as she tried to suggestive sell me batterys, a coke, and some movie pre-order

Hm. I've never had this problem when TRU has that sale.

Good for yoU!!! It's so annoying when people try to stop you from benefitting from something that is

NO SKIN OFF THEIR BACK.

I went and bought CL Optimus and CL Megs, got two scouts, then came back two days later, picked up Astrotrain and Starscream, plus one scout. They're pretty ok at my place, even though they are retarded when it comes to calling ahead (SHORTPACK'D)...

 

goes like this:

 

Hi, thank you for calling TRU, what can i help you find today?

 

Hi, can you tell me if Transformers Classics is in stock yet?

 

Please hold.

 

OK, she offered to help me find something, asked me specifically what, and I told her...

 

I wait five minutes.

 

Maybe she's transferring the call to the boys department? action fig dept? i dunno.

 

She obviously doesn't call the proper department and say:

Do we have Transformers in Classics in stock?

 

Because then I get this, after five minutes:

Hi, can I help you?

 

Got Classics?

 

Hold on.

(time passes.)

(more time passes. Hold music song changes.)

No.

 

Ok, thank you.

 

So... ten minutes wasted on the phone - I went out that day, and lo and behold! Voyager Classics sitting on the shelf.

 

:roll

you rock man I like the way you handlged all for the scouts though....now thats funnier...

wow, if my tru had the deluxes for 10.99 i probably would have gotten hot rod and starscream, but they're only 9.99 here which would have left me yellow scrapmetal-less so i picked up megs instead.
