Toys r us is giving a free maverick if you buy a n-strike system or dart tag

[man with many guns]

Mine is giving away free nf's if you buy two nerf guns over $10.

toys 'r' us is going out of business,so we may be lucky to see this many deals going down soon.

[Lukeinator]

Are they going out of buisness or did someone buy them out? Either way, that just sucks.

WHAT

Why the heck would tru go out of buisness. They are the biggest toy company in the us. They have no reason to want to go out of buisnes.

I really don't think TRU would be going out of business...

[TheDiceman]

Actually, the TRU stores are breaking off form the other R Us stores and all becoming individually owned.

On anotehr note, this post makes me wonder what deal (if any) my TRU may have on Nerf at the moment. ALmost makes me wish I had waited on my BBB if tehy do have some special going on.

Mine use to give free nf with purchase of a nerf products $10 or more, but it was over oct. 20 i think

[LastManAlive]

I reseived the 2 NFs with the AT3K twin pack I bought. I have no desire for the Unity set or the DTG. But my K-mart )or wal-mart; I forget) is selling FFs for 12.99 on a certain day. But I'm broke right now, so none for me for a while. But if I do get anything else from TRU, it will be an RF20 and (maybe) a unity set.

the TRus in Alhambra, CA is giving away free fireflys with the purchace of the dart tag set or n-stike trinity

TRU is not going out of business. Not yet anway. They were bought by a private firm and are not a publically traded company anymore. Was sweet for me because my stock options got cahsed out. Instant $1200!

The free NF promo was a while back. The current promo is free Mav with Dart Tag or N-strike. Don`t know anything about free Firefly's. I think that ones jsut BS. Unless they don`t have any Mav's and are replacing them with Firefly's. Can`t see that happening though...

Score!

In any case, I should really be looking towards a BBB soon. I do need an amp system for my mandolin though; I think that's a little more important. And then there's the laptop I've had my eye on for quite some time...It's my last year at home, so I'm considering draining my savings account with the hope that more financial aid will be given to me for college. That would make the world a hell of a lot easier for me.

Hell man, I went there the other day to get a BBB, and now I have a scab on my chin from where my jaw hit the floor. I haven't seen that much Nerf merch at one place in years...anyways, college is overrated from what I hear. And so is the phone bill. And food. And gas money. And pretty much anything else that doesn't involve scantily clad women or booze.

...and they most certainly didn't give me anything free, other than some odd looks. I guess that's the price to pay when you buy toy guns at my age, huh?

I hear ya. I'm 30 years old and can frequently be found in the toy aisles of any department store or scouring the TRUs in my area. I'm always amused and a little embarrassed whenever I'm at the check out counter and they ask me if I need a gift receipt...
