Seriously? Transformer protection plan?
So I hit up my local TRU today to pick up Demolishor and Rampage. According to the checkout guy:
"Since Transformers are considered mechanical, we offer a protection plan in case anything breaks or falls apart. Anytime in the next 15 months if something breaks you can bring it back and we'll give you a new one. It costs $2.99 for him [Rampage] and $5.99 for this one [Demolishor]."
I told him I would be fine without it, but this is new to me. Have any of you been offered a protection plan for your Transformers?
It must be TRU trying to cash in, as these things are usually pretty unnecessary. I might consider it if I pick up that giant (expensive) devastator, but not a little deluxe.
The toys shouldn't fall apart in the first place, and if they do, I return or exchange them. If I buy something I shouldn't have to pay extra to make sure it's not faulty... but that's a rant for another time.
