Cool, printing now! The DBKs will be happy. If you have vista, when the window tries to close, after printing, just tell in no. You can printer another!

I am jealous. I called three different TRUs and none of them had any trains. :(

They didn't have any?!? Ours was pretty low, and they were out of all the ones that are $12.99, but we got one that was $10.99 so I was happy.

Its good until July 5th, so maybe they'll get some in this week?

yeah i was worried they may run out but even if i have to get a more pricey one and pay the difference when we go again tomorrow, i'm okay with that.

we have two TRU in our city but i only went to one yesterday and the inventory was still decent, though the cashier's were all pretty familiar with the coupons as if they'd seen plenty of them already.

We were there today. While checking out, a manager came out with a sign stating they would no longer accept the coupon. He said it was from corporate. We got ours though.

I got a Billy, they was out of everything. We weren't allowed to use the coupon for anything that was over. They stopped accepting the coupon because they are only intended for the person who recieves the e-mail. I guess others also shared. I wonder if this will affect future e-mails?

Interesting, I went near close tonight and got a more expensive train with the $12.99 discount.

They were entirely out of the cheaper trains.

We went to Toys R Us this afternoon. While we were there and making our selection (our store had a lot and DS was having a hard time deciding), the employees came and hung up a sign saying the coupon would no longer be honored. When I questioned it and said that we were there and making our selection before the sign was posted, the manager said that corporate had discontinued it and that he thought something new was going to be out soon. He did honor it, when I complained that we were in the store and making our selection BEFORE the sign went up.

Bummer....I didn't really think about where it came from. They really should have forseen that people would share it though! If it was supposed to be only for certain people, that's what snail mail is for :p

yeah we were redeeming one yesterday when they said the notice had just gone up and another would be sent out soon (which i doubt) but my son started crying when i told him we'd have to put sir topham hat back, so they honored it.

There is a new coupon out. It specifies only 4 items that you can use it for and expires today. We went to try and use it but they had basically no wooden trains left let alone one of the 4 specified. Oh well we got one with the first coupon.
