Look, if you bought the merchandise to get the Artoo and then turned right around and returned said merchandise to get the Artoo for "free", then you are a thief. Period. I don't care how you try to parse it, I don't care how stupid the cashiers are, everyone here knows darn well the promotion is for a free Artoo with a $20 purchase. If I swindle some old lady out of her rent money because she's too dumb to figure it out then I guess that'd be OK too, right?
Don't tell me Toys R Us owes you, and don't tell me Hasbro owes you...Jeez, just spring for $20 worth of toys and if you don't want them then donate them to some charity this Christmas. You could have bought it at Amazon too. But to try to legitimize theft because "They were too stupid to figure it out" is just sad. Don't be so cheap.

you obviusly are just jumping to conclusions about what you are reading. At my TRU the sign said silver R2 with $20 purchase so I'm assuming you have to spend at least $20. So I bought the gunship I didn't want to but anything to get that R2 if they charged me $10 just for R2 still would have bought it.

The thing he is complaining about is people buying $20 worth of stuff, getting the silver R2, then returning the $20 of merchandise and getting a refund. So essentially, they get the R2 without buying anything.
I have to agree with him. If the deal is a silver R2 with $20 purchase, you shouldn't be able to keep the R2 if you return the stuff. If you don't want what you bought, just take it to a toy drive. I'm sure the Marine Corps. Toys for Tots program would appreciate it.

Ok. "Jedidavid" I think you might have a small reading problem. 1st of all, I said that one of the main reasons I went back for another artoo, is because the first one I got was in absolutly CRAP shape. I think that for the $20 I spent I should have gotten a mint one. Secondly, As I said before, I KEPT the second $20 of stuff I bought. I specifically TOLD the TRU manager that I didnt WANT my recipt back. I planned on keeping the stuff. You seem very arrogent to be calling me a thief when you dont even know me. I'm the most honest person out there. HOW DARE you call me a thief? I was in Mcdonalds yesterday, and they gave me my food without charging me. I could have LEFT and had a free meal, but i went back and MADE the cashier charge me for the $5 worth of food.
Would you just accept a trashed silver R2? I doubt it. I have my own set of morals. Dont judge me on them. You need to go and bug these morons on here who returned stuff 6 or 7 times, and got 6 or 7 R2's. Not the guy who just wanted a better one.
Oh, and "grey", I was just kidding around. I was'nt Really mad at all of you who called it stealing. Nothin personal man.
I APPOLOGISE to the rest of you if I seem rude.I just dont like it when some kid who doesnt even know me calls me a thief(ugggh! Hate that!!). Sorry everyone.

That is fine and i am not mad or whatever at anyone about it. I don't believe 'judging' anyone is the right thing to do so i try not to, I was just stating my opinion.
Everything is cool

I wish everyone would stop blasting everyone that says "oh I got a second one, and it was free." Who cares how many everyone gets and for what costs. With all the crap we buy, If you can get a free one, bonus for you. Its better for everyone that can get one for $0.01 than buying one for $40 from a scalper. I personally could care less, I got mine with my Gunship and am happy that I got one and so did everyone else here. But I dont get all worked up if someone says they bought 2 and got the second one for free. Its not that big of a deal guys, it really isnt. So calm down, your turning this thread into a lousy topic.

Actually I get mad when someone refers to me as " some kid ". I'm in my 30's and have two kids of my own. If one of my kids pulled a stunt like this they'd be grounded two days ago.
If you legitematly bought your merchendise then I've got no problem with that. I wasn't even speaking to anyone in particular, but was commenting on the thread in general. For months people have been griping about this promo because they felt TRUS or Hasbro owed them something. Also, everyone has seen the posts where people brag about getting this thing for free, and that I have a problem with. If it was intended to be free or 1 cent or whatever then why didn't you guys walk out the door with it? It's free, right? You didn't do that because everyone knows that IS stealing. To me, buying something and returning it to get this promo is the same thing. Everyone knows this wasn't supposed to be a freebie on its own. Taking advantage of the foolish clerks who don't know better is wrong too.
If you paid for your merchendise and got this fair and square then fine. If you scammed it then you are a thief. You may not want to acknowledge it that way, but I don't know any other way of putting it. Seriously, donate the extra toys to Toys for Tots. You get what you want and you help out a kid who could use a hand.
No Jace, I wasn't talking to you. I WAS talking to the people who scammed several of them. I honestly don't look at names. And no, I don't have a reading problem. And actually, if all I could was a crummy one I'd just live with it. I wouldn't be happy about it, and I'd keep my eyes open for another but I'd live with it.

Didnt mean to turn this thread into an all-out war with name calling and finger-pointing. The promotion was good, but i think the smart thing to do going forward would be for Hasbro to finally get off their duffs and come up with a use for those Jedi Master Points. By now, i should have enough to buy the Millenium Falcon. The old promotions that Kenner used to run, you had to cut out the POPs on the backs of the cards to get the figures (4LOM & Anakin Skywalker). This way, the figures are actually bought and paid for, and there is no returning merchandise to the store. In fact, if you didnt want to destroy the card, you basically had to go out and buy a duplicate of the figure so you could get the POP off of the card.

Ok then Dvvid. Then I owe you an appology. I can admit when I'm wrong. We obviously dont agree on this issue of thievery. Oh well. We'll leave it at that. I pride myself on this fact: I've never shoplifted EVER. A minor thing. And my house was robbed. This is why I hit the roof when ya called me a thief. I hate thieves. Oh well. Lets make this thing an action figure thread again.

That'd be cool. Jace, I'm sorry if you took that personally because it really WAS aimed at the people you mentioned. I wasn't being specific, and I wasn't trying to insult you personally. I'm not sure why you took that to mean you and you only but it wasn't.
And yeah, I'd agree that the Jedi Points issue needs to be dealt with. At this point I wonder how it'd be dealt with because so many of us have accumulated these things for years. I don't think it'd be fair to require sales receipts for Petes sake, but I don't want to pay 1000 points for one lousy figure.

"I don't think it'd be fair to require sales receipts for Petes sake, but I don't want to pay 1000 points for one lousy figure."
So you'd rather just have 1000 points sitting in your closet doing nothing?

Gah there goes my hopes of ever getting this figure...I placed an order with amazon.com for star wars figures, and was supposed to be able to get it. they didn't have it, and all I got was an apology.
If anybody has two, I'll trade you an unopened near-mint toy fair vader for one of your unopened near mint silver R2-D2's! :o
