Scans updated with some duplicate pages removed

I know Costco has always done that with some items. In some cases it's an issue of not being able to advertise the lower price because of MAP restrictions. Other times the "regular" price varies in different areas of the country.

But if it's like last year, they'll do the $15 Kohl's Cash during the one-day sale like they do for the BF sale.

So last year we had the Kohl's ad leak on Thursday of this week, which was super early for Kohl's ad compared to past years. And we then had to take it down until Kohl's officially posted it and they weren't happy. Kohl's then posted it themselves on the following Monday and had a one-day sale where you could order many of their BF items at the sale price. I just checked the Kohl's site and their current promos end on Sunday night, which would line up perfectly with a Monday BF ad reveal and one-day sale once again...

http://i.gottadeal.com/main/deals250/image18145x259x162.jpg Time for another fun contest We've got a $50 Amazon gift card to give away along with 10 Black Friday t-shirts. To be entered to win, just reply to this thread with a link to something on Amazon that you think would make a unique gift idea and post a sentence or two about what it is and what kind of person you think it would appeal to. If you need ideas, Amazon released their Electronics Gift Guide and Top 100 Toy List last week The contest will run through Wednesday, October 31st at 11pm ET. At that point I'll randomly pick someone to win the $50 gift card and 10 more people to win Black Friday t-shirts. As always, if you've already won a shirt you can't win another, but you can try for the $50 gift card. Also, you can post & enter the contest once per day (up to 10 total entries), but please do not post in the thread more than once per day. Good luck, and don't forget that if you want to order more Black Friday shirts, you can do that here. http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/2018shirts.png

Just one month until Thanksgiving!

Another shipping update. Later today I'll be dropping off more shirt packages, so if you've won a shirt or bought one as of right now, yours will be on its way if it wasn't part of the first batch. Size update: For some reason nobody wants XL this year so while we have a bunch of those left, all other sizes are either very limited or completely gone at this point. So if you need a size other than XL, place your order ASAP: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Shirts It's looking like future contests could likely be limited to XL prize shirts only so keep that in mind.

Another year, another server move for Black Friday so please post here if you run into anything strange anywhere on the site or forum (error messages, long loading times, etc...)

Thanks to everyone who signed up so far. We'll have a t-shirt or gift card contest on there when we get a few more people.

With the forum's chat function not working at the moment and the webcasts possibly not happening this year, I created a GottaDEAL server on Discord for us to chat about Black Friday or whatever else. Here's the invite link: https://discord.gg/3hd2K5t For those who are unfamiliar with Discord, it is a free text, voice and video chat service. You can access it via their apps or through a traditional web browser. Once you sign up for an account you can join the GD server using the special invite link above and can chat with everyone else who has signed up. One advantage of using Discord over the old forum chat function is that you can view past conversation in the channels and not just what is happening while you are there so can come and go without missing anything. Currently there is a #general channel for more off-topic chat and a #blackfriday channel for discussing Black Friday. If we need to create additional channels we can do that at a later time but this is a good start. We've already got a dozen or so people who have joined and I'll be posting about it elsewhere but I wanted to make a dedicated thread so more people see it.

Just a heads up for you guys in here that we'll be doing a server move at 10am CT tomorrow (Saturday) morning so the forum will be shut down while that happens so that no posts get lost during the move.

I emailed bigjimslade weeks ago and never heard back from him unfortunately. Hope things are OK.

If you have a membership Sam's Club also has discounts on gift cards during their November 1-day sales and possibly during their BF sale.

http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/MoreSales/TargetToyBook Pretty much the same offers as last year with the Cartwheel daily deals and 25% off coupon.

Obviously trying to make up for the loss of TRU: http://corporate.target.com/press/releases/2018/10/target-reimagines-toy-experience-for-the-holidays
