    I'm kinda like that. Short of being absolutely desperate I never contemplate buying at TRU. Like with the Animated Deluxes which were $25 at TRU, I decided to buy at Toy Kingdom at full price instead even though the returns policy at Toy Kingdom are tougher.

    I think my weakness though would buckle had it been Classics Sunstreaker or Sideswipe.

    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.

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.
    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?
