Toys R Us sale -buy 1; get 40% off - homerjg007 - 08-19-2012

We were up looking for a Wii game and noticed they were on sale -pretty picked over, but I did get 2 2010 Chrome rack packs for $8. Not too bad. Got 6 Orange Ichiro, Hamilton, Allen Craig RC; 1 Purple 5/99 Alfonso Soriano; 3 Xfractors, and 1 refractor

They are crazy overpriced to begin with though.

I did notice that -they had an Olympic blaster for 27.99. I was picking through the markdowns

Yep. The last time they had this sale the blasters were $24 vs getting them for $20 at walmart. This made getting 2 ~$38 vs $40. You think 40% off is great, but when you add it up you only save $1-$2 depending on what you buy. If you're going to buy those cards anyway a discount is a discount, but not good enough to buy something I wouldn't anyway.

Thanks for the notice homerjg007

...as he said just before running out to buy some hanger packs >_>

I got a 2010 Topps Chrome that is supposed to have "3 exclusive refractor cards." I got 3 1989 Donruss cards O_o What!? Ok, set that aside, guess I'll have to take it back and try to explain to some Toys R Us mom why that isn't what should be in there. They only had 1 so the other that I picked with it was regular 2010 Topps. That pack was fine, but also was not supposed to contain any retail exclusive anythings.
Next 2011 Bowman Platinum with 3 Purple Refractors. Open up the little clear thing and my refractors are a 1992 Leaf, and 2x 1995 Studio credit card looking cards that I have seen before. o_O Double WTF. I have 1 more 2011 Bowman Platinum that is completely in the original wrapping. It looks like the little 3 pack of refractors is more 80s/90s junk that I plan to open in front of them in the store. The part that bugs me the most is I want to open the regular packs but I'm going to wait until I show them everything. I don't know what they can do about the refractor cards. It's not like they have them laying around by themselves. :| *sigh*

Damn that sucks beyond words! At least they weren't 1990 topps?

If they can't/won't help me I can try Topps support. I might get something better in exchange. I just don't want to give up the regular packs. I would always wonder what was in them. I just want to exchange the retail exclusives that I should have gotten.

that stinks - you realize since you went, Toys R US is kicking me back the retails you should have received!
