Thought I would let everyone know about this. Starting today and running through October 14th all KB Toy Works stores are having a special sale. Spend $30 or above on anything in the store excluding video games, accessories, and gift cards, and recieve 30% off your entire purchase!!
This is a lawsuit settlement that KB Holdings INc. The company that owns KB Toy Works has. It appears KB has there normal price, then they red slash it when it is on sale to a lower price. They were sued in a class action lawsuit for never selling some of the toys at the original slashed price.
Part of the lawsuit states they can't advertise it other then in store posters. So you will not see it on TV, in newspapers, or on there website. But right now all stores have posters and stuff around the store letting you know about the sale.
Plus there is a bonus, if anything is on sale this week, for example Fisher price stuff is 20%. If you buy the fisher price stuff, you get the 20%, then if your total is over $30 you get an additional 30%!!! So you actually save around 50%.
Please note, KB toys and Toys R Us are two different companies.
You can see the lawsuit on KB's website at http://www.kbtoys.com/help/legalnotice.html?place=bfnt
Make sure you go get your Pokemon cards and get your Christmas shopping done this week!!!
This is the exact info from the lawsuit:
Defendants will distribute the Net Settlement Fund by providing a discount at the cash registers of all KB Toys, KB Toy Works, KB Toy Outlet, Toy Liquidator and KB Toys Express stores nationwide, including Guam and Puerto Rico, equal to 30% off all qualifying purchases of $30 or more during October 8-14, 2003. This distribution (the "In-store Distribution") will be done without requiring a request of any store customer and will be separate and apart from, and in addition to, any previously planned promotional events for 2003. Defendants will not advertise or otherwise promote the distribution in advance of the In-store Distribution. Signs detailing the terms of the In-store Distribution, however, may be displayed in or around the stores during the In-store Distribution and up to 48 hours in advance of the In-store Distribution.
If the total amount of discounts received by customers during the In-store Distribution is less than the amount of the Net Settlement Fund, Defendants will make an in-kind donation of toys, valued at Defendants' then regular retail price for such toys, in an amount equal to the remainder of the Net Settlement Fund (the "In-kind Donation Amount"). The donation, if any, will be to no more than four nationally recognized charities mutually agreed upon by Plaintiff and Defendants and will be made prior to December 31, 2003. Defendants will pay the cost of delivering the donated toys to no more than four locations. Defendants shall not be required to make more than one delivery to each location. The cost of delivering the toys will be separate and apart from the Settlement Fund.
In case your wondering, I work at KB part time :)
