I have never seen TrU (at least the stores I visit) do anything but overcharge even during TF1. The only time they have something of acceptable value is when they make a pricing mistake.
When I found all of those (sold out?) Classics in Frankston, so many moons ago, the retail price was $24.95... this is a very good price in Australia. When I went to TRU in Northland to enquire about the TRU Soundwave the staff were very helpful. I ended up getting Soundwave from ebay (local seller/ pick up) but that was my fault for been late to that party. I found Masterpiece Starscream when it first came out for $100 in TRU with no problems.
In my world TRU are great... I don't rely on them and don't even go there on a regular basis, but without them I wouldn't have many of my favorite transforming toys.
I laughed when they had g1 movie jazz for $50, because movie jazz is one of my least favorite toys... only got it because my girl really liked jazz in the movie. They have some good sale items sometimes.
I don't understand this board sometimes... there are a lot of members that condone and endorse the manipulation of store policies to gain personal advantage... yet everyone is up in arms when the stores don't treat you like loved and trusted friends.
