Toys R Us Bricktober 2012 Promotions

Today, many AFOL sites were sent details about the promotions at this year’s Bricktober event at Toys R Us stores from The LEGO Community Team. Each week in October, for every purchase of $59.99 or more, you will receive a LEGO Vintage Minifigure Collection set as a gift. According to ObiSeanLegobi on Brickset, there will be a very limited supply at participating stores:

From a TRU source: Most stores will only get 10-20 Vintage minifigure sets, to be given out free (one per customer per day)

If you’re excited about that, there’s even more news for Bricktober. On October 20 from 12-2pm, there will be a LEGO Creationary Challenge, possibly for prizes. On October 27 also from 12-2pm, you can receive a free LEGO Monster Fighters promotional pack (5000644). Looks like it’s going to be pretty busy and expensive October at Toys R Us.
