    I just got two cards today, though I'm not entering them on my behalf but on my cousin's because he deserves more TFs than I do

    But I gotta say though, the fact that this website wants your address details is pretty unsafe and there's no warning to kids about having parent supervision around when entering in such sensitive information. What happens if it teaches kids by accident that it's okay to put in an address at any website?

    This promotion is so fail, it defies comprehension... HUUUGE TF DotM display as soon as you enter the door, big promotion standee with all the info, and an ARSEnal of staff with NO EFFING IDEA about it! It would take 30 seconds to read the T&C's that are right there in front of them, but noooooooo, we can't have that now, can we...

    Another day, another Target visit... I purchased Powerglide, Blackout, and a TF tee for my son, so I put them on 3 separate receipts for the cards. When I went to the service desk to redeem them, I got the SAME lady as two days ago, and she still had no clue, even though I filled her in on my last visit... Seriously... Anyhoo, she gave me only 1 card, which as expected was the week 2/6 stuff up card, so I explained my theory of the week 2/6 miss-labelling just in case something might sink in and they just might let management know. I then asked for the remaining 2 cards as I had 3 receipts, at which she said "that's the only one we have", so I said doubles are fine or if there's any older ones. What does she get me? The SS card for week 3 and the BB card from week 1. Yuhuh, that's not exactly supporting your "only one we have" theory, lady...

    This isn't exactly a shelf label saying "bonus mascara with an Estee Lauder purchase over $50", this is "take up the entire front entrance" stuff, you'd think they'd give at least a tiny bit of care...


    Please have a listen to my songs. Feel free to comment if you wish, any constructive feedback is appreciated =o)

    Good to see it's not all of them then, this was the Hollywood Plaza one, but Elizabeth were a bit ordinary on it too the other day. I might try my luck at TTP for the rest of this then, thanks =o)

    I just scored Week 3 Starscream, and learned that "sometimes cowards..... survive". Yay!
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    or do I need to purchase 5 legions separately?
    depends on the person serving you.

    i was a sefton target today and the girl showed me prime, bumblebee and megatron - so i grabbed megatron.

    hey griffin, would you be able to update the first post with what cards are for what week? thanks.

    Hey Jaisun, did you try TTP yet? How was the service there?

    The Target at Browns Plains only had cards 1-4, 10 (going by the 12 in order on the website), and they had like 30-40 of each. Which was strange that they only had 5 of the 12 cards, but so many of each all loose in a metal tin.
    And no one there knew anything about the promotion (like, which card to give, how many to give out, or what the promotion was for).

    Maybe different Target stores got different cards... or this store had lost 7 of them (which are most of the later week cards, making the majority of their cards useless now)

    One thing I found unusual though, is that all the cards of the one style had the same 6-digit code on the back. And I could keep unlocking any of the codes, repeatedly... Since there doesn't appear to be a one-entry-per-person limit, it might be possible to pad out the weekly draws with entries to improve your chance at winning. (the grand prize is still up to your creative answer though)

    So it looks like the site is open to any week's card & code, but they are still doing weekly prize drawings... so re-enter every week (even if you've already used your card/code already in a previous week).

    The site still only has the same five unlockable items:
    Movie Trivia
    Rosie Profile
    Wallpaper week 1 (suggests they were planning to have more unlockable stuff?)
    Official Trailer
    Product booklet

    After the competition ended, the stores were sending their remaining cards to Hasbro.
    The last couple weeks I have tried getting Hasbro to send us the left over Collector Cards (to give out to fans instead of being trashed), but it looks like I was unsuccessful.
    One person said that a 'higher up' said no, and I haven't had any luck with anyone else to change that.
    They were really nicely done cards (not some elcheapo thing) so it would be a real waste if they did end up getting thrown away.
    It was just so stupid that Target stores appeared to only be sent 4-5 of the 12 different cards - which screws over people who only have one Target near them.

    Any interest in setting up a trading thread for their spares? I am missing about 4 cards, but have about 10 spares.
