    I was in shock.

    I was 99% sure they wouldn't price match from online let alone US online! The girl at the counter just looked at pics I took of the listing on my phone for a grand total of half a second and said "Yeah ok", didn't call the manager, didn't ask for any other details in fact was asking me what the price was again as she's entering it in. Sometimes retail workers who don't give a crap are just awesome. lol

    I also got the Blaster/Perceptor pack for the $83 Amazon price. I didn't want to
    push my luck with anything else.

    Great score!
    I don't think anyone else would be as fortunate to find a TRU staff that easy on price matching... But we're all hoping for one though. Lol

    Marry the girl. On second thoughts, perhaps not.

    Must be the christmas spirit or just didn't want to hold up the line. Normally, those who don't know will require a manager to authorize the price match. And also TRU wants a catalogue and checks the closest store to verify stock first before price matching.

    You got lucky!

    Yeah, I am pretty sure the girl is going get a scolding or some lecture.

    This is reminding me of that story where a guy cheated Starbucks by getting the most expensive drink they had, but he got it for free because he bought a certain amount of coffees or something.
    I'll update this when I'm needing help finding particular figures
