I have been reading lots of topics about people on here being really upset over their TRU continuing to raise prices and some TRU's are selling Elites for over $20 and I was even in a TRU yesterday that was trying to sell Best of PPV Elites for $26.99! This TRU happened to have the Best of PPV Elite Christian that I've been really wanting and believe it or not no scumbags had stolen the belt or legs! SO I had to have it, but $26.99 is a ridiculous price!
I went to the service desk and asked if they price match the prices on the toysrus.com website because the website says Best of PPV Elites should be $22.99, not $26.99. I pulled the TRU website up on my iPhone and showed the guy and he was happy to price match it with no problem.
Obviously, TRU has raised the prices on some of the WWE figures for the web site as well, but if you live in a particularly bad area where your TRU is price gouging you far and above the web site prices this might help you out and save you a little bit of money.
I'm sure this is subject to the mood of the employee you get. I'm sure somebody could try and screw you and claim it was the "online only price" and not be willing to do it for you, but it's worth a shot.
I figured this thread about legit price matching would be better than the ones certain people have been making lately about claiming not to know the figure prices and blatantly telling lies to cashiers to get Elites for Basic prices, lol.

Glad you finally found that fig. It was one of my top moments as a collector when I found it. It was as rare as Nash for me.

That's a great tip, thanks!
I will not pay $26.99 for a figure...
Well, maybe when the WM29 ones come out, I will... but I'll try not to...
But if that's going to be the standard cost, I may find myself quitting again (after I get the WM29 sets).

Yea I spotted a few Christians last week but they were $26.99! F that. I've asked some stores about price matching and they won't do it. They say stores vary on price. Scumbags.   |

Just an fyi, the boppv elites are 21.99 in my area. But the price increases are more than likely to compensate for all the sales they have been having. I would recommend those who want these elites to put them on layaway (free at toysrus) and just wait for the next sale.

Holy crap that's so many Christians! Like you said, probably because of the $26.99 price tag though. I figured some stores would have employees that were either dicks or too lazy to price match. I wonder what the official TRU price match policy on online price matching is. There's gotta be like one official policy all stores are supposed to follow, I'm sure it doesn't actually vary store to store, that wouldn't make sense if they were like "each store, do whatever the hell you feel like". lol I know a girl who used to work at TRU but she quit and went to SEARS, I'll ask her next time I see her and figure out what the deal is officially with online price matching....my gut is that they probably should have done it for you but decided to be dicks. |

Who knows what the policy is. I feel like they make up whatever they want. It really depends on the person u get. I think even at $22.99 is getting to be a bit much. I really just wanted the belt but not for $30 after tax. |

Hulkamania, print this page out and show it to them: www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=11949070"We’ll match Toysrus.com and Babiesrus.com online pricing in our stores, except for online-only prices and Cyber Monday prices." If they give you a problem, ask for a manager. If the manager gives you a problem, ask him for the phone number of the district manager. He has to give you that number and the district manager will take care of any employees that are not following company policy. |

If I didn't have access to the TRU website, I would have bought it, and possibly take it to another TRU where they're cheaper to get a price adjustment. This happened to me once. All of the Wal-Marts around me had basics on sale for $10 and this was the time I was looking for AJ. I went to a Wal-Mart and found AJ, but Basics at this Wal-Mart were back at $16 (regular price in Canada). I then went to a different Wal-Mart, which still had basics on sale for $10 and was able to get a price adjustment.

I figured this thread about legit price matching would be better than the ones certain people have been making lately about claiming not to know the figure prices and blatantly telling lies to cashiers to get Elites for Basic prices, lol. As a toys r us employee, i will tell you sadly some stores suck. But we will match a Toys r us online ad, technically we don't match the ones that say "online price only". It usually says "online only price" it right under the price or where they show the different promos. My store, will match even the online only prices. Along with Amazon (only items sold and shipped by amazon), Target & target.com, walmart & walmart.com and a few other stores. But all toys r us are capable of matching all of those stores i listed because the computer has them all listed as options when the cashier selects price match on the register. And even if they say they wont, all you have to do is say something to the manager, and if he still gives you a hard time, tell them you want the District managers number and the number to corporate so you can clarify the price match policy. 99% chance they will do it like they are suppose to so they don't get reamed out. |

That's like half the run right there! It took me forever to find one and I promptly snagged it. I have yet to see another one. But yeah, $26.99 is ridiculous. |

TRU is the most inconsistent corporation on the planet. Like someone above stated, they just do whatever they feel like. Its luck of the draw I guess.

Another thing to watch out for: when i bought elite 14 and 18 at tru one of the figures in each set was marked up to ppv seties prices. One was the lawlet And the other was the e14 del rio i believe. Anyway i didnt notice at first both times untill i looked at my recipt. They easily refunded my money for the incorrect re/up for the adr but the lawler was the more expensive price online as well so they gave me a hard time. But i prevailed.... But beware

I remember the week after Thanksgiving I went to TRU and found Elite 18 and for some reason Jerry Lawler was ringing up as a Best of PPV at $19.99 when the rest of the regular Elites were ringing up $16.99. The girl I know who worked at TRU fixed it for me, but I remember in the thread I made about it that some people were given a pretty big hassle by TRU employees who refused to fix the price for them. It's a shame, but success or failure at TRU pretty much hinges on if you get a nice employee or not. |
