FREE Item Still out There! – Oh My! ALL GONE!

news — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:17:35 +0000

The FREE Item is now gone! We had to give quite a few clues for our winners to snag themselves a 12-inch Jabba Figure:

John E. of Monroe, CT (yes, the same one as below!!!)
Trevor Z. of Ulster Park, NY
Amanda C. of Westland, MI

The Spooktacular can claim a victory as we had to give 5 clues for this to be finally claimed. We’ll try to keep it a tad bit easier next time…NOT!

Here were the hints:

1. The letters/numbers you find make a coupon code
2. With the correct organization of those letters/numbers you can get an item for free.
3. The Free item is already a Spooktacular special and the coupon code will give you full 100% off the price.
4. The name of the character is backwards.
5. The item is 2146
6. The first letters of the code are ABBAJ…..

Happy Hunting! Mama Mia it will be tough to use!

And if you weren’t paying attention earlier, John E. of Monroe, CT claimed the hidden $75 Gift Code!

$75 Ghoulish Greedy Gift Card is Out There! – CLAIMED!

news — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 12:27:57 +0000

So it took you a little bit to find the $50 gift card…but can you find today’s $75 Gift Card just as fast? Here’s how this works: We have hidden a gift card code someone on our website. The value of the card is $75 dollars, and whoever finds the code first, gets to use it on select instock items! That’s right, this card can be used by anyone on over 100+ products. But you have to be the first to find it. Remember, even if you find it, you better use it quick! Someone else can find it at the same time and use it before you. You snooze, you lose! So get hunting! Good luck!

UPDATE While the offer was out there for an hour, once I posted about it, it was claimed quickly! Congrats to Amanada C of Westland, MI for snagging this gift code!
