COO HHH Annoyance?

[MBG1211]

Am I the only one who is kind of annoyed with the COO HHH promotion? The reason I'm annoyed is because I bought everything when it first came out in stores, now there is NOTHING new to buy at TRU. I open all my figures and throw out the box when I'm done...had I known back in June when this started I would've kept a lot of the boxes for it...I still have my receipts, but that doesn't do me any good.

Elite 15 has only hit Targets in my area, picked up everyone except Rey. I'm hoping my TRU gets them before September so I can at least get enough for one HHH that way...otherwise who knows if Elite 16 or the new Battle Packs will be out in time?

Anyone else in the same boat? Nothing new to buy for this promotion because you have it already...

I dont open my figures so yes, it is very annoying. There should be a option where if you send in 15 or 20 bucks or something you can get a figure

[bigraj]

Somewhat. I don't collect Basics, and won't buy a few just for the promotion. Elite 15 did hit my TRU last week, so I'll probably grab the Mark Henry and Rey when they restock, but there's a good while to go before the end of the promo time.

I learned from the last promotion to keep all my UPCs, however I threw away all the Basics since they didn't count last year.

I'm annoyed because my tru literally has NOTHING except Cena's and Rey's. The only variation is in flexforce which I do not buy or in the Cena/Rock BPs which I actually decided to buy for The Rock until I noticed tru has priced them at $30! So, yeah, unless tru stocks something new soon, I won't be getting my COO. I'm hoping for a cube like during the McMahon promo.

[Lorenzo Alcazar]

Yeah I can't find ANYTHING at TRU worth buying....I'm getting worried I'm not going to finish.

The mail away is designed to get people to buy old product.

I'm in the same boat, but not because I have everything already. The problem for me is my TRU never stocks anything. The only Basics this store has had all year, outside of 1 case of B17, is Best of 2011 (still 3 full pegs and they've been there since Nov. '11) and Signature Series. They also haven't stocked a regular Elite series since they started getting the BOPPV line. I have a TRU Express in the area that is usually decent, but they just keep restocking E13 over and over again.

Bingo.

[ClassicCollector]

I'm annoyed by the fact that it's a US promotion only!

I realize this is probably a stupid question, but what would happen if you sent in a UPC code from say Walmart or Kmart, can they tell you didn't get it from TRU? Not sure I understand the promotion.

You have to send in the receipts as well, I do believe so they would obviously know it didnt come from TRU.

Makes sense. I didn't realize that....I was just wondering.

It is designed to get people to buy all of those John Cena and Rey Mysterio figures that are left behind. If I can't find enough to buy retail, I will just be buying it 2nd hand like I had to do with Mr. Mcmahon.

[WWECollector]

At this point, my only advice would be to just buy something you don't mind having opened if you want the figure. It's pretty obvious that TRU isn't getting any new product shippers for this promotion and that what they have is what your choices are.

I wasn't pleased by the fact that I had to pick up a Cena, HHH, and Big Show I had no intention of wanting opened, but I wanted COO HHH, and it paid off because I got my shipping notice today.

What it comes down to is how bad you want the figure, and how much you want to pay for it. You can buy a few figures from TRU or roll the dice and hope this one doesn't wind up in the price range that Vince is in on eBay.

[StoneColdLiger]

I got E13 Ziggler & Edge towards him. If I had know about a week before they announced it, I had bought BOPPV Bret Hart & Daniel Bryan. That's what I'm annoyed about it, that they didn't announce it until a month into it.

I'm sure I'll be able to find something else to buy before its over.

[terraryzing]

I re bought all 4 BOPPV elites to get the Michael Cole so I'd have 5 figures to sell off that are worth some coin, especially Cole who goes for $30 on ebay. Then I picked up a WMH Taker & UW to sell off also, and boom, there's 2 COO Triple H's with my money made back easily by these 7 figures. Gotta do what ya gotta do to get what you want.

[JCF]

I wonder what I'll have to buy. There is no way I'm going to miss out on the HHH figure.

[realjuicewinslow]

Only thing I have found that I don't already have is the Elite GOLD Sin Cara. It's pretty annoying.

I wish they would re-stock the Basic figures. I could at least give those to my nephew.

[homeslice1998]

I did an order from RSC can I use some type of codes on those for the COO triple h?
