Hey, I was at Toys R Us last night, and picked up deluxe tomahawk for 14.99.
It was in their system as "hot wheels truckin" worth checking out at your local.

Well, they only had the one, otherwise I would have picked up another for a mate, though I reckon if you have a tru near you and you want a tomahawk it's worth checking out. it scans on the scanner on the wall at this price too.

from what i am told, pricing comes from their head office (including catalog pricing) and the employees do not manually do the pricing.

so there's a good chance that this pricing mistake will be be statewide?

I guess that's what I'm trying to say, possibly even nation wide.
may be a couple days before it's fixed.

Well TRU innaloo had nothing for Tomahawk and Cannington only had Terradive so its a bust in two stores here in WA. If someone could find Tomahawk for the cheap price, can someone pick one up for me?

If I see one I'll grab it but there was only the one last week at my local TRU.

Considering how much TRU rip people off *cough* $250 Starscream *cough*, I think this is poetic justice. What goes around comes around ;)

I picked up the remaining two Tomahawks (Bankstown store) this afternoon to try and prevent toy scalpers buying them..

As I already have him, they're on offer to other forum members here (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=131699#post131699) at the same price (only really worthwhile if you're in Sydney & you can arrange pick up, otherwise the saving is negated if you need to have it posted).
