    What an absolute a$$! lcz128 and myself today went and we price-matched two sets in the 1 transaction, No hassles, worries at all. Hell, the chick was so nice and friendly and helpful.

    And this was the thick and thin of the conversation:

    "Hey there, we'd like to price-match these two voyager class figures which are at $24.88 at BigW. *Show BigW catalogue at right page and then turn pages* Ah, and here's the number if u want to give them a call to see if they have it in stock. We're pretty sure they do since it's a big sale but it's cool if u guys wanna check first"

    She didn't even call her manager, just smiled and processed them.

    Lcz128 also happens to be one of the most kindest lookin' blokes and he helped her with packing the stuff away into his carry bags. Just all those little things went a long way to making it not even a difficult transaction. I remember at Knox last year where I pricematched a few G1 Jazz that that was somewhat harder but what u guys went thru at chaddy is ridiculous!

    (oh and annoyed but glad b/c lcz128 and myself thought that Iceburn said there were no more Mudflap/Inferno's left at TRU Chaddy so we made the effort to go all the way out to Knox. We were contemplating going to highpoint and trying the impossible if all else failed.

    And it gets me riled up that I just wanna go and price-match some more. There's a certain sense of victory about it.

    I've gotta agree with STL when it comes to acting like a friendly person when asking them to match prices.

    Putting yourself in the checkout chick's shoes, How would you feel if some arrogant d#ckhead marched up to your counter & basically demanded that you price match a toy with another store?

    If I was that checkout chick, I'd wanna take that toy & shove it where the sun don't shine...

    Plus, if you're nice, she might instead give you the chance to shove something else where the sun don't shine.

    Did she (or for that matter, anyone else) mention that the Big W Catalogue says that it's "Movie Voyagers" for $24.83? Or has no one noticed that part when you go up with an Animated figure?

    In this case, we're talking about Inferno and Mudflap, which are Movie Voyagers. In most of our previous cases, yes, we were full of @#$% and knew it
