Theatre plush giveaways for the fisrt movie

This is a question for anyone who saw the first movie in theatres. Did anyone else's theatre have a promoton where they gave away a plush TMNT with a ticket purchase? The theatre I went to had this and I was wondering if it was just something my local theatre did or it was a national thing.
I remember it well. My friend and I were hanging out at the mall when my mom came to pick us up and offered to take us to see the new TMNT movie. When we went they had a huge box of TMNT plush and were passing them out to anyone who bought tickets to the TMNT movie. My friend was being pushy about it, demanding a certain turtle though I can't remember which one. He didn't get it, probably because he was being so obnoxious about it. I politely requested Mikey and got him. My friend ended up with Leo and ripped his mask off almost immediately after entering the theatre. Then he spent the time before the movie started trying to trade his maskless Leo for another kid's Turtle with the mask still intact. The kid wasn't buying it. I don't blame him.
The plush wasn't the same as the Turtle plushes that were available in stores. They were much less detailed but weren't really low quality. They seemed fairly well put together and they were stuffed with actual stuffing and not styrofoam pellets as many of these promotional type things were made from. They were nice for what they were.
