***THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ENTERED AND GOOD LUCK!***

It's time once again for the Mastermind Toys Annual Warehouse Sale! This is a great time to stock up on all kinds of gifts for holidays, birthdays and baby gifts at prices up to 70% off! At our warehouse Sale you'll find lots of fantastic deals on a variety of high quality toys and games from Lego to Playmobil to Thomas the Tank Engine. It truly is a great sale and it only happens once a year.

Over the years we've sought out larger spaces so we can offer you even more selection and stock more inventory, but we also know that our warehouse sale is so popular that people will patiently line up before the warehouse sale opens and it can pet a wee bit crowded at times. So, we came up with an idea: What about running a contest to help a few of our customers jump to the front of the line? Imagine, no waiting, shopping without crowds, wouldn't that be nice?

Curious yet?

ANNOUNCING THE FIRST ANNUAL 'JUMP TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE' MASTERMIND TOYS WAREHOUSE SALE CONTEST!


This year we are going to give TEN people the chance to JUMP TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE at this year's Warehouse Sale! And because we don't want you to shop alone, we're letting each of our winners bring a friend! For one hour our winners and their friends will get to shop before anyone else does (this means no crowds!) And that's ot all! Winners of the amazing contest will also get to come in a serparate VIP entrance where we will have a lovely continental breakfast for you to enjoy before you enter the sale! (We wouldn't want your energy levels to dip while you're shopping!)

This means:

On May26th, the FIRST day of the sale, each winner and a friend get to enter the HUGE Mastermind Toys Warehouse Sale at 8am, a whole HOUR before it opens to the public!

  • Get VIP treatment include a beautiful continental breakfast
  • NO Crowds!

I subscribe to e-updates because Mastermind Toys rocks! Where else could a grown-up feel like a kid again?!
I truly love Mastermind toys. They are very educational, and geared to a lot of kids. From baby to teens you will find what you are looking for at a reasonable price. Especially now with great sales. It helps out. I have been a nanny for over 25 years. Now I am a birth/postpartum doula.
I have always shopped at Mastermind for all my holiday and birthday ect.
Needless to say I would love to JUMP TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE................
Thank you......

I would LOVE to jump to the front of the line because my daughter's first birthday is coming up, and I would love to get her a bunch of toys that are fun, but also good for her education and development.
I would love to jump to the front of the line because Mastermind is my one-stop shopping destination for xmas and birthday gifts!

Another reason I enjoy RECEIVING YOUR EUPDATES is that I can make decisions about purchases without my son following me round the store. He always wants everything, so I would like to get to the front of the line without my son and have the peace and calm to make a decision about buying gifts for our friends and relatives' children, without him trying to influence me to buy them a present that HE wants LOL. I would also be able to buy a wonderful surprise gift for him.
LOL I forgot to tell you why I would like to get to the front of the line ... I don't like crowds and feel uncomfortable in large groups. I would love the opportunity to shop in a quiet and less crazy atmosphere - it's also in your interest as I would feel less stressed and more able to make decisions about all the gifts I need to buy (I like to stock up so I don't have to go out so often)

This is one of the reasons I am a FAN ON FACEBOOK, so that I can find out about your great offers in the peace of my own home!
I am also an online fan, receiving your wonderful weekly emails. If I win I will share my breakfast baked goodies with all the staff - I have seen how hard they work during this sale time!
What a wonderful opportunity, thank you so much for thinking of this.

I'm a super "fan" of Mastermind on Facebook! I really hope to win as I have a little man who is just starting to get into toddler toys.

Who like to wait in line! This is a great idea!
Being at the front of the line would be terrific! I am a mom of just one, but we have sooooo many friends with little ones. I love MasterMind for always having the perfect birthday gifts for them! I also teach a yoga program for little ones (newborn to age 4) and at the end of a session, I like to provide them with a "graduation" gift - MasterMind always has such cute, age appropriate and developmentally enriching items. 1-2-3 JUMP!
Also already an e-subsciber....hope I can still be entered. I don't do Twitter or You Tub stuff.....
