Includes a bonus item code for a Wind-up Yotsuyu minion

I'll just leave that there...since sadly, there is never another way to get the minions that come with the books/CDs. And some of the older ones(Model Enterprise minion, Wind-Up Relm, and Namingway to name a few) have expiration dates. Enterprise was Dec 31, 2016 - I ordered the book in early 2017 and customer service wouldn't even budge on it. Relm and Namingway expire at the end of this year(Dec 31, 2017), next year(Dec 31, 2018) so unless people are able to get the books with their codes before then, they will be unable to redeem it.

Already pre-ordered mine. My eyes are ready.

This is actually retarded. Why would they be selling an art book with an expired code. Part of the appeal of the book is that it comes with a minion...

That's false advertising and it's illegal. :O

There currently is no expiration date listed for the Yotsuyu minion.

What did they say when you asked?

The expire date is always listed. Nothing false there. Sales probably go down when it gets close, but if you miss what is again always listed it's not their fault.

I'm kinda surprised this one says it doesn't have one, although they reserve the right to add one later.

Snip

In the description for the book it had stated that it came with a code that expires Dec 31, 2016. So it wasn't false advertising, just they had more stock than they anticipated is my guess.

What did they say when you asked?

Can't remember the exact words, but it was something along the lines of "We're sorry, but we are unable to help with this".

[DrWho2010]

i'm guessing the code will be viable until dec 31, 2019 for the yotsuyu minion.

Damn it, SE! Why must you bleed my dry??
