Lets do the math, since TRU was giving away the cards with *4* Joes..
$20 (initial investment) gets you 4 Joes + $10 giftcard. Essentially, $5 a Joe at this point. Next stop, use the giftcard to buy 2 more Joes for "free". $20 = 6 Joes. $3.33 a Joe now, not bad. But instead, you buy *4* more Joes, use your $10 giftcard, pay $10 and get ANOTHER $10 giftcard. Now we're at 8 Joes for $30, which brings us back to $3.75 a Joe, but wait! We have another $10 giftcard! So we can get 2 more Joes for free. So it's really *10* Joes for $30, or $3 each. Or.. again, get 4 more instead, pay $10, use the $10 giftcard.. 12 Joes (really could be 14) for $40. Now we're down to $3.33 and $2.85 respectively. You can keep going on like this until there are no more figures to buy! Granted, there is a 6 hour wait between purchases with the giftcards.. but come on... 16 figs = $50 20 figs = $60 24 figs = $70 28 figs = $80 32 figs = $90 36 figs = $100 (Really 38 figs if you stop here). $2.63 a figure. Of course if you want to get to the magical $2.50 you'd need to spend more money.. but hell $2.63 a figure isn't bad. Remember that BBTS "set of 37 RoC figures" for ... $349.00? You could accomplish that with around $100 during the sale. Too bad its all over :(

I got a total of 4 cards using 2 through the week. What I did was Sunday I bought 4 figs and got a card. Next I went back and got 4 more figs using 1 card and getting another so 4 figs for $10. Then went back another day and no figures I wanted so used 1 to pick up the last steel crusher for $15. Then bought 4 more figures getting another card and went back the last day and picked up another 4 getting another card and didn't use one this time so I current have 2 waiting for them to put out the Rex wave I was hoping they would put out during the sale. Luckily for me this time my local TRU restocked through out the week which they didn't do the first time they had this sale. It was a good week.

I got 2 cards from getting the ds and 360 video games, as well as an armored panther. Neither of my 2 tru had anything beyond the first couple assortments and I have my fill of those.

I got $40, but went to make a return of one and they told me I needed to return the card too. Haven't decided what I'm going to do yet.
