Strategy Guide CyberMonday Deals

[Orion's Islands]

I posted this under Wiisdom's Strategy Guide review but thought it may benefit from its own post.
I picked up the Official Collector's Edition Strategy Guide for Swap Force directly from the Bradygames website () on CYBERMONDAY last year. They gave a truly impressive discount which, with shipping included, came out to cost less than me buying the standard guide at some store in person.
I cannot say for certain that they will be doing it again this year but I will be checking and hoping to repeat the score for the Trap Team Collector's Guide. Good hunting..!

Sadly, after review, the same discount seems no where in sight...
In fact, the Brady Site seems to be borg-ified (combined) together with another company. Not that that is particularly bad BUT it seems now all you can purchase there is e-versions of the strategy guides....MWAA-WAAAAA!...Fail.
I did place an order thru Barnes and Noble:
Skylanders Trap Team Collector's Edition Strategy Guide
BradyGames
Condition: New
Seller Price: $19.81
Then...
Shipment Subtotal: $19.81
Shipping & Processing: $3.99
Sales Tax: $1.55
Shipment Total: $25.35

Not bad, not great....But its the Collector's Edition and it gets delivered to my door.
Best of Luck...

Sorry it didn't pan out, but you will no doubt enjoy the CESG!

Didn't know B&N would pull that...I'd try Amazon.

Nice...Probably good you just bought that and didn't get the free super saver shipping.

I swear it has gotten progressively worse...Case in point, I ordered (2) Winterfest Lob-Stars last Monday and they STILL have not shipped. Ridiculous.

Strategy GUIDE Arrival!!!!
It was waiting for me yesterday when I arrived home.
Now…as long as it doesn't burst into flames when I open the front cover, I'm gonna call that a Win!

Did it beat the Lob-Stars arrival? I figure they are pushing all the mail fast to meet the holiday slam.

Ok...BIZzZARE' TwIST!!
Strategy Guide ARRIVAL Today!.,.,
...wait for it........
That's Right!! I already have one!!!
2nd arrival from one of my previous attempts.
Ohh...I failed to mention that after the first rejection, I re-ordered at least twice more, receiving acceptance and then rejections shortly afterwards....remember this was during CyberWeek, I wanted to test if this was a bait and switch scenario. I ended up thinking it could have been because they never honored my original price. So that's when I ordered from a different company.
Hmmmm...anyone need a Collectors Edition Strategy Guide?? Lol

Oh man, lol. Maybe you can trade it straight up for a few cores or something. The CE is very nice imo...
