Ha ha if only that were true (especially considering Disney asking for 85 percent of the opening weekend grosses on toy story 3D when it opens in june. Of that 17 dollars you mention only about 2.50 will be going to the theatre.

perhaps if the studios were a little more reasonable on spliting ticket sales, then we would have lower ticket prices and concession prices.

Let me preface this by saying I used two $10 coupons at Target with two $5 coupons in hand that I did not even attempt to use. So I am not trying to make excuses for my personal actions.

You say "Target only allows the use of 1 manufacturer coupon", which is not the case or we wouldn't be talking about this. If they only allowed 1 coupon, not a single person would have gotten it to work. Now, to say this is their documented policy would be correct, but it is obviously being "allowed". We all know there are a lot of corporate policies out there that are not adhered to. Most states only "allow" cars to drive 55 miles per hour on a highway...

al·low - to give permission to or for; permit; to permit by neglect, oversight, or the like

If the Target computer system and/or all employees enforced this policy, then we could say they don't "allow" more than 1 coupon.

Yes - I realize I'm nit-picking, but so are you.

On the flip-side, I'm looking at the coupons right now. One statement printed on the coupons is "limit one coupon per specified item purchased". One could argue that this is somewhat vague - does that mean one coupon total of any kind on that item, or one of these specific coupons (thus making use of the $5 coupon in conjunction allowable)? The interpretation of that sentence is critical. Because the very next sentence on the coupon states "any other use constitutes fraud".

The Vineyard had no Toy Story 2. I finally found a copy at the Target at De Zavala and I10. However, that store was out of Toy Story 1 so I had to buy 2 there and return it at the Vineyard so I could buy both and get the extra $10 off. It was a long afternoon.

I had to go to San Marcos for work yesterday and so I hit The Forum and the one in New Braunfels/Canyon Lake.

No dice.

I'm going to see if they restock tonight, so I'll hit them up again tomorrow.

DirkUSA

Well, let's call it a tie and let's hope for more $10 coupons from Disney, what do you think?

PS Sorry about the Target / Toys R Us screw up.

kenbenobi

So if I print out the coupon and use it as toilet paper, that is FRAUD?!?!?!

DirkUSA

Careful, your butt might sue you if it's to abrasive!

kenbenobi

Ya, if it gets a paper cut, I might do jail time for assault and battery...

Which one did you go to? There are two in DG, right? I went to the one by I355 and found both movies in the Blu packaging.

However, the cashier said that they didn't allow "stacking" of coupons so I was only able to use the two $10 coupons. She was really nice about it and I was tired and had a headache so I didn't feel like arguing so I just put the $5 coupons back in my pocket and paid $13.99 for the two movies. Still an excellent deal so I'm not bitter.

bd...?

Well my Brother in law wanted the deal so I went back with my 4 coupons (no toy r us near him) and presented everything. Cashier said she could only take 2. I said I understand..then she hesitated and said "well lets see what happens when we run them all"...2 minutes later I pay 6.36 and on my way

Is there a way to use these $10 upgrade coupons through Amazon? I've tried entering the UPC codes but neither seems to work.

Kory

You can email Amazon and attempt to get them to honor them after you place your order. People had success doing that with Monsters, Inc. and Up. That's the only way though.

izatright

Most people got thoroughly rejected and the mass of emails forced Amazon to stop offering customer service issue-based rewards, at least during that time period. Not really something I'd recommend someone do unless they have a legitimate beef or concern.

Well here is how I did since toys r us thread is shut down and don't feel like starting a new one

Princess and Frog with tax $7.70 after $10 coupon and preorder
Toy Story 1 and 2 $10 coupon for each $5.54
I was a little concerned about the preorders and when I got there I didn't see the blu. Employee maybe a manager saw me looking. Since I had a preorder and those were in the back had someone go get them. I then got in line eventually the helpful employee opened another line she asked about if I had any coupons? I gave her 2 $10 ones.

total of $13.24 for 3 blu and 2 tickets to toy story 3 average $4.41 a peice pretty good
beats 6.86 per Monsters Inc and Up

Does Walmart take coupons?

clappj

Yes.

Pointyskull

I picked up both at Target (in BD cases) for $18.50 out the door, using the $10 bundle, plus the 2 $10 off upgrade coupons.

I see others are getting better deals (deep bows to BASISON, in particular), but I'm more than happy with $9.25 a title...

I went to Target and price-matched TRU. I gave her the flyer and she rang them up at $16.99 each. Then, I gave her my 2 $10 off coupons and also got Target's "$10 off if you buy both". So, no scheming here and I walked out paying less than $6.50 after tax.

I guess I should be glad the TRU manager refused by manufacturer coupons, causing me to cancel my preorder and look elsewhere. I ended up saving an additional $10 at Target.

shelland

They should have been cheaper than that:

22.99 x 2 = 45.98
45.98 - 30.00 coupons - 15.98

Unless you have 16% sales tax?

Pointyskull

They were $15.98.
The tax was $2.52; 7%, taxed on the $35.98 amount (before the 2 $10 coupons were applied).
Total bill: $18.50 for TS BD and TS2 BD.

A co-worker bought the same titles - with the same coupon/bundle discounts - at a different Target and he was also charged tax on the $35.98, before the 2 $10 coupons (though his tax was higher because of being in a different county).

Sweet Baby James

Fortunately for me, Connecticut charges tax on the discounted, post coupon price.

Pointyskull

Yep. Illinois charges retail sales tax on the pre-coupon amount. C'est la vie

I think there's only like 10 states that do that...

Kory

Yeah I bought two copies of each last night and they charged tax on the pre-coupon $68 price, rather than the post-coupon $8 price. Oh well.

Hello,
I preordered Toy 1 and 2 from TRU and still waiting for the Blu-ray case version. What is involved in cancelling the preorder? Can anyone elaborate? I am tempted to just buy it from Target with price match rather than wait for TRU to restock.

BASISON

I went to the one off of Finley and Butterfield. I wasn't able to find TS2 in the Blu Ray packaging, and I even checked the 2 places they had them: in the check lane, and on the display unit. I even checked a few times to make sure that it really was the blu ray movie in a regular DVD case.

As for not being able to stack the coupons, did you go at the end of the night? I suspect that the cashiers at night are different than the ones during the day.

At least DickUSA will be happy that you did not get away with FRAUD!!!
