Got my BAF Teddy today... it sure was a pain though. But I got my $8.99 price, even though I probably wasn't supposed to...
When I was at TRU on Tuesday, they only had Del Rio & Brock - I scanned them, they were $8.99.... but I didn't want to buy them and get stuck with them if I never found the other two. I chatted with the stock boy, who told me to check back Friday.
So I hit TRU at 10:01 this morning - and what do you know, looked like about 2 cases worth of BAF's just put out... and on top of EACH peg of them, the tag that said "All Basics - $8.99".
Just to be sure, I scanned them - and of course, they all scanned at....$13.99.
So I went to customer service.... the manager looked frazzled - I heard him say "Why is everyone calling off today???" I felt a little bad but I explained that if they were $13.99 as they scanned, I did not want them. But if they were $8.99, as THE TAGS SAID, I would happily buy them. They sent someone back with a walkie-talkie, and she said, sadly "I must have just put the wrong figures on the pegs. I'll remove all the tags."
Without saying a word, the clerk called for a manager over-ride - and now.... "we've got ourselves a tag team match, playa."
My goodness, his glasses are the most delicate, smallest accessory ever I think. I'm going to have to glue them on or something... I already dropped them once and almost couldn't find them....
I feel a little bad, but hey - EVERY stinking peg had tags that said $8.99, so I'm glad they honored their mistake - I wouldn't have yelled at them or anything if they'd said no, I just would have not bought them.
I initially didn't want the Dolph figure, and told my son he could have it (I just wanted Teddy) - and now I really like it and wish I'd kept it for myself. The pictures don't do it justice, for some reason... it's a nice figure, though. Strangely, he didn't want the Randy Orton (neither did I). So I guess I'll find a spot for him on my shelf.... or maybe not.
Curiously, they also had 1 lone Best Of Wrestlemania 28 Triple H with the Build-An-Announce Table piece... not sure where that came from, it wasn't there on Tuesday... I was too worried about the price of the BAF's that I passed it up...
