Here is the actual ad. Because of the size (around 13MB), I'm only posting it as a zipped PDF file. You'll notice that a lot of the pages are cropped on the top and/or bottom, but that's how I received them, so deal with it :) http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/scans/gottadeal-blackfriday2007-toysrusbigtoybook.zip As with the listing on the BF site, this file will be deleted after the ad has officially been released to save bandwidth.

No it's not a BF ad. It starts this Sunday and usually ends the day before Thanksgiving. None of the deals are limited time other than that time frame. I'll probably delete the list from the site maybe a week after it becomes public on Sunday.

Ad listing has been posted, scans coming later tonight. Continue discussion here: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=85530

I've just posted over 400 items from the Toys"R"Us Big Toy Book on the Black Friday site: Update: scans removed to save bandwidth - get the ad on www.toysrus.com :) The ad scans will be posted later tonight. I will also be linking nearly all of the items on the list to the product pages on toysrus.com. Just a note: because this ad will be publicly available in just a few days and because it expires before Black Friday, the items on the Black Friday site will be deleted before BF, so if you add items from this ad to your shopping lists, those also will be deleted at that time. I'll try to give notice before the list is deleted in case you need to save your list to your computer.

It will be posted in a couple hours. It is a very big ad - 72 pages, so I'm trying to get the file size down before posting it. I'm also going to type up the ad and post that list on the Black Friday site and link to the individual items on toysrus.com as a lot of the items are already available for the same price.

I should have the full ad tonight :)

Most BF sales are Friday and Saturday. There are the "early bird" specials that are only available on Friday for a few hours, but the majority of the ads are good all day Friday and Saturday, and then Sunday starts the following week's ad.

Another reminder: DO NOT POST PERSONAL HOME OR CELL PHONE NUMBERS OR HOME ADDRESSES OF WAL-MART EMPLOYEES IN THIS THREAD

I posted this several times in the other thread where the incident happened, but I'll repeat it here: DO NOT POST PERSONAL HOME OR CELL PHONE NUMBERS OR HOME ADDRESSES OF WAL-MART EMPLOYEES IN THIS THREAD The post in question was deleted by me within seconds of it being posted and the "member" (and I use that term loosely) that posted it has been banned. The phone number itself has also been "censored" from being posted again. I have also e-mailed Mr. Simley this morning explaining what happened.

someone has sent me the first 30 or so pages, but i hven't received the rest yet. if anyone has it (and has a fast connection) and wants to help out and send it to me, PM me.

Yeah there are a lot of items that haven't been added yet, and to be honest, a lot of them might stay missing because the scans aren't very high quality so some of the small print is impossible to read. I'll do what I can though :)

Someone has already sent me the first ~30 or so pages, and I'm waiting for the rest before posting it. But if anyone else has it (and a fast connection) and wants to send me the rest now, please PM me.

No, Mr. Thomas is not a Wal-Mart rep, he's a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.

By the way, Mr. Thomas' IP address is 24.30.232.108 (which is a Comcast IP from Virginia) But I'd think someone as esteemed as you sir would have a better e-mail address than [email protected]. Maybe Mr. Thomas is a ticket scalper on the side when he's not doing something else just as shady (I'm supposed to be typing up more items from the Macy's ad right now, but this is too much fun, lol)

How much do I owe you for this wonderful advice, Mr. Thomas?

Clarence Thomas, ladies and gentlemen http://www.gottadeal.com/images/appl.gif I totally agree with everything you said. I'm outraged! Did you hear me? OUTRAGED!

Ask and you shall receive: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=82464 There are more items that will be added to the list as well, plus the usual pictures and links for a lot of the items.

I don't believe the actual ad came out on 10/20. For Kmart last year I was sent design instructions for the graphics design team to layout the ad and I tried to decipher everything from that and post a list of items on 10/20, but the actual ad didn't get leaked for a week or two after that I believe.

I know there are quite a few eBay sellers on the board, and I recently came across a little add-on for the forum that lets you promote your auctions without it being distracting or taking up too much room. If you'd like to do it, just go to your profile page: http://forums.gottadeal.com/profile.php?do=editprofile and enter your eBay username way at the bottom. There will then be a little clickable eBay logo below your avatar & username that will take everyone to your current auctions. Enjoy :)
