They are fake.
If you use them then stores may not take ANY coupons at all anymore.
They were out last year with an expiration date of 2010. It's easy to change the expiration date on photoshop.
Just because they work doesn't mean they are real.
I wouldn't contact Hasbro about it they may think you created them.

On the other hand I think the Iron Man 2 coupons still work at Target even though they are expired.

Please don't do that. Snitches get stitches.

Do Boy · 08-14-2011, 08:29 PM

Ok. If you guys suggest I don't, I won't.

Tiberius · 08-14-2011, 08:30 PM

As I said, it is the stores responsibility to watch out for these things.

Please post their response. I've used one, and want to know more before using the rest.

I've personally used three myself. But other site members seem to vote against me calling. I guess I'll just stop using them until other wise told they are legit legit.

Call. It can't hurt, and will put many people's minds at ease. Or I'll do it, if that's easier.

I'm actually interested to hear what they say/do about it.

Boba Fettuccini · 08-14-2011, 10:10 PM

I'm worried, cuz these coupons are going to make this hobby not break the bank. But I've used four of them now, and if they're fake I'm gonna feel terrible. It's almost like shoftlifting then... and the temptation would still be there, cuz I only get like 6 hours a week on my part time job....

itMFtis · 08-14-2011, 10:56 PM

What's this $5 off coupon mentioned earlier in this thread, and where can I find one?

menicus · 08-14-2011, 11:28 PM

I'm pretty sure Hasbro does all their internet coupons through Coupons
and there aren't any listed at the moment... (sure you could go to Hasbro Play Saver Toy & Game Coupons first, but it'll just redirect you

). I do miss their coupons. Can't remember the last time I found any on their site. :P

Hey man, you're gonna bring down the whole house of cards on us. lol Well that's the last time I share with the group. It was nice when I thought they were legit. Starting to have my doubts & getting this catch me if you can vibe.

Optimus Vader · 08-15-2011, 06:43 AM

Wait a minute,.. why are you people calling Hasbro? Just to ask if coupons are real? Maybe you could just not use them if you're not comfortable with them. This guy posted them as a favor, where or how he got them really shouldn't matter. You can choose to use them or not, but I don't see the need to contact Hasbro over it.

You might get shot down at a store if they aren't legit, but no one is getting busted for trying to use a coupon they found online. Try to buy a candy bar with Monopoly money and see if you get arrested. This is the real world, people.. not Disneyland.

Bring the house down on us???? Sounds like you are just worried about yourself. I no nark and trust me no saint. I was simply going to be asking what coupons are available and that I recived some from some where and weren't sure if they are real. So before you get your panties in a bunch. Why do t you let me get an answer first. Don't worry no figure pointing will be involved. People come into my office all the time with coupons for sale. I'll just say it was someone off the street.

bmorr · 08-15-2011, 07:23 AM

as long as you pay cash for your figs when using the coupon, you dont have anything to worry about.

Do Boy · 08-15-2011, 07:26 AM

Ok made the call. And the lady had said they she is not sure what coupons they have out right now. I described it and she still didn't know. She just asked me if it rang up lol got transferred to supervisor. Still didn't know. They asked if I could send in a copy. I said sure. But I think I'll just cut it off right there and just take it as a chance to get a bunch of toys for a cheap price for a short time lol. (Thanks miketime). I asked if I could get in trouble for "unknowingly" using this coupon. She said I prolly wouldn't have to worry and to just hold off on using them until they are confirmed.

That's what I said lol. But I had used my CC thinking they were legit. But Hasbro would be the ones filing charges I presume, If anything. They have my name and number so I can just say that the supervisor I don't have to worry. Call was recorded.

Optimus Vader · 08-15-2011, 07:32 AM

Yeah because if you used a credit card the Feds would come crashing through the windows Christmas Vacation style.

Or worse yet, they'll send Robocop and he don't take crap from nobody. Just ask whatever's left of the ED 209 prototype.

menicus · 08-15-2011, 08:07 AM

Well, even though the coupons are bogus, thanks for posting. I'd totally missed the ad that said these were on sale (and my Target didn't have a big sign announcing it, not even by the toys :P). Got a Gladiator and a Ghost Rider. Love free stuff.

Now if I can just get Klaw's leg to stay on and Mr. Fantastic to stand up and quit knocking down every one else...

martian410 · 08-15-2011, 08:34 AM

Confirmed they are fake. I did a little research on the UPC number and found this info:

http://www.couponinformationcenter.c...27,%202011.pdf

Again, use at your own risk. I agree, employees are ultimately responsible for accepting the coupon.

not sure if it's worth the risk. imho, these big box retailers probably have ways of finding out who you are, regardless of whether or not you use cash.
small transactions = probably not a big deal, since we all assumed the coupon was legit, since it rang up at the register when they scanned it...
