4 down, 6 to go if I can find some I like. :(

It would be great if I could actually show up the same day they hang some cars. All the cool ones are gone by the time I see them. I may have to get a couple of the straggler Speed Racer cars.

Since this is a Toys R Us promo, I would expect them to check for this happening . The gift receipt is just a copy of the original without unit prices. They KNOW and can track what is returned before the items (lightning rod) is shipped. That is probably why they say "wait 6-8 weeks" for delivery.

that may be true but what if I do indeed buy 10 cars for my nephew and as an added bonus I am able to cash in on this offer. Then after Christmas my nephew gets an Xbox and decides that he wants a new game rather than 10 of the same blasted 60s sizzle Avanti (or what ever the local peg warmer is) so he returns them to buy a game.

how could they deny the original gift giver? He spent money on JLs at TRU. It is not his fault if the kid does not want the cars.



Hmmmmmmmm..........

I forget who's promotion it was, but they said to send in receipts. I sent in copies and didn't get anything but a letter saying I broke the rules of the promotion. Your example is possible, but we ARE talking about RC2 and Toys R Us.

6 down, 4 to go!

They had a new set of Modern Muscle cars with a nice Corvette and Mustang.

(So far I have not had to resort to any cars that I don't particularly like. :thumbup: )

I would only take part in this type of promotion if there really were 10 cars I wanted that showed up in the TRUs around here. And since that's almost an impossibility in any given month here, why worry?

Hey Hutt,

I was bummed when I could not find my last receipt for this offer but the other day I was cleaning up my book shelf and Yahoo! I found my receipt that gets me to 10! Of course this receipt was the very first one that I got in early December.

Then I almost made a huge mistake! I was so stoked to find the last receipt that I gathered all the paper work, sealed the envelope and put it in the office mail bin. On my way home from work I realized that I forgot to put a check for shipping!!!

Luckilly I caught it before the mail went out! I am probably one of the last to mail in my 10 receipts! I think they need postmarked by the 28th to be valid. :wacko: I hope the car is worth my stress. LOL :thumbup:
