Once again the site has gone a rather extended period of time without updates. Hopefully, this time we will get some consistent updates for good.

We really, really need another editor / writer / contribute for the site, and you will be paid. Please email if you’re interested. We do have so new ideas this time around, so stay tuned.

eBay / Paypal Coupons July 2008

I posted some of these last month, and the same scenario applies this month. No one is really sure exactly what the restrictions are on these, and most people aren’t going to be able to use them. Last time however, a few people did let me know that they worked.

So, it’s always worth a shot right?

CJULY0810P – 10% off. This is either active after July 8th, or only on July 8th.

20OFF50WEB – 20% off your purchase of $50.00 or more. $10 off a $50 Purchase, $20 off a $100 purchase etc. Pretty sure that this on expired on the 10th.

CTHANKS0810D - $10 off $50.00 when paying through PayPal.

CTHANKS50 – $50 off one purchase via PayPal. If you get this one to work, congratulations.

Now, don’t figure the discount into your purchase price as experience shows they won’t work for most people. If they do work for you however, it’s a nice little bonus.

eBay / Paypal Coupons

Occasionally PayPal will issue coupon codes that work for every account. Other times they work for a single account, group of accounts, or a certain region (e.g. the UK vs. the USA).

I got these in my email today and I figured I would pass them on. No idea if they’ll work for sure, but it’s worth a shot.If you do get them to work, please share it with us in the comments.

CJUNE0810P is 10% off any eBay auction up to a $100 discount.

CJUNE10SHIP is $10.00 off on shipping. The shipping
discount can be used up three times on one account.

Both coupons expire June 30th.

I’m also told that they may only work if your eBay and Paypal account are linked.

Hasbro Mighty Muggs

It seems Hasbro is capitalizing on the popularity of Designer toys (aka Urban Vinyl). They seem to be inspired by these toys, but come with a much lower price tag. Each figure is about 6″ tall and looks amazing. It’s one of those toy that kids will want to play with and adults will want to collect. Even the box is worthy of display.

They range in price from $9.99 to $14.99 and are available at Wal-Mart, Toy’s R Us and Target. it also looks like they will be doing a variety of exclusives at Conventions and for other events.

Thirty three have been released so far, as well four Comic Con Exclusives: Movie Iron Man, Indy Idol, Commander Gree and Peter Parker Spiderman.

So far they have Marvel figures, Indiania Jones and Star Wars. What’s next I wonder?

There’s good news for customizers as well. Hasbro will be selling an ALL-BLACK and an ALL-WHITE version for creating your own figures during the next holiday season.

figSnipe Relaunch

As you can see, figSnipe has undergone a much need graphical makeover. I still have a few things to do, and a couple of tools to add, but the site is shaping up nicely. Expect daily updates from this point on.
