It seems pretty clear to me that the ad is saying (in essence):
"Dude got himself a girlfriend and doesn't want his toys anymore. He gave them to us. You want?"
Where is this offensive?
If, on the other hand, you're *looking* to be offended, you could read it as an attack against geeks or those who like action figures. But I had to reread it several times to come to that conclusion, and it's flimsy at best.
They could have conveyed the message better, more cleverly; I fully admit this. But nowhere does this strike me as mocking any social minority.
