Playmates Toys Big Foot Offer
 

For Some reason people either can't read, look a few posts down or go to playmates official website and look around.:lol:
So here in all it's Glory is the exclusive Big Foot Offer!:o
http://www.playmatestoys.com/turtles...ontestspromos/

They really piss me off, just like with the old Simpsons offers, no to Canada. I can see internationally overseas and all that, but at least make it a full North American offer, they're a big company. Playmates used to(seemingly) be great back in the day, but they suck with the way they run things now. That's one thing I like about McFarlane, they do everything direct through them, distribution and all.

I’ll have to figure out a way somehow, get someone too hook me up with an address. I'll wait until September to get Sloth, Shredder and Jungle Leo. They also have that Sea monster still they need to release.

I'm sure someone on here would be happy to get you one provided you send them three UPC's, $5.00 for shipping, the receipts, and money to forward the toy to Canada. As for me, I plan on getting several of these if possible. I'm sure some will pop up on e-bay also.

That be cool yea, I'll prob have too. We'll see. That's what I did with the Simpsons offer they had. Just used their address and then Paypaled them to cover the shipping when it came.

When I drive down to my home away from home in Florida in October I'll keep an eye out for Shredder, Sloth and Jungle Leo and whatever else may happen to come out by then and use those UPC codes, because unless its fixed, the stores here never order a thing because Spin Master distribution sucks.

So did anyone notice that you have to wait until 9/1 to purchase figures? I was excited because I have purchased about 8 or 9 so far, but I guess none of them qualify. So now I must buy three more...

Shredder, Jungle Leo, and Sloth Monster, HERE I COME! (on 9/1 that is...)

Yes many of us have been talking about it.
It really helps to read the fine print on offers like this. ;)

:x :x

ARGH!!! I don't visit this site in a few days and then I see this new offer after buying all six of the new wave of figures YESTERDAY.

Is anyone planning on getting extra figures in September with which they won't be using the UPC codes for and would be willing to sell them (the UPC codes, not the figures) to me along with a copy of the receipt?

Many thanks if there is. I so want this figure, but I don't want to have to spend another $20 bucks or so on figures that I already have to do it!!!

yah the thing i was worrying about is i want everything MOC now so i dont know
how i would go about getting big foot then. The idea of buying someone elses
upcs seems like more trouble then its worth..so i think i might just wait til
big foot pops up on ebay. i hope people wont charge too much..

Yeah. Good luck with THAT.

hahah yah i know..

I'll pay 3 or 4 bucks per UPC!!

So if you buy new figs you have to cut a piece of the box off? :ohwell:

what is a upc code?

It's the barcode. And yes, you have to cut it off.

Well that kind of sucks. I keep many of my figs in the box. Oh well, I suppose I'll do it for the bigfoot

If I order online, what do I send as a receipt with my upcs and 5 bucks?

Well, I actually was able to cut the barcode without completely opening the package. You actually can't tell at all that its been cut unless you look at it from the bottom. From every other angle, it looks perfectaly normal, definately suitable for hanging if thats your taste. So don't just rush and tear it open...take your time and it can be done. Of course, you'll know it's not "completely" MOC, but for me it's not that big a deal...

thanks, I'll do just that

It is actually pretty easy to remove the UPC bar code with minimal visible damage to the figure with the current package designs. Playmates had this same type of mail in promo with their Simpsons World of Springfield line.

If you want to keep your figures MOC or as close to it as possible, take a good sharp knife or razor blade. Then make a small incision into the bottom panel around the three sides of the UPC. You can then remove the UPC and tuck the plastic flap that you have created back to close it up. The damage is minimal and only visible from the bottom.

These are TOYS! Take them out and play with them....or you will have yourself a major case of...STINKY PETE! (Watch Toy Story 2 for more on that...)

If you collect them, buy 2...

^ Are you serious? Do you know where you are? Ask yourself how many dromers actually take the figs out and play with them.

I take mine out but I do not play with them.
I figured what the hells the point of keeping them in th box's if I never plan to sell the ones I really like.
