    The price at TrU is indeed outrageous. None are selling. They are stacking up to the ceiling just like the Turnarounds and other expensive crap from TF1 which is still there!

    I am not sure how that business can stay afloat with so many shoddy decisions and their refusal to have anything on sale and keep stock on their shelf for years at higher than normal prices

    Here Here Kup, Wisest words I've heard all day.

    The other day I went to Toys R Us in Penrith and demanded a Price Match to Myer, who gave me a Jetfire Ultra for $40.

    They said no because its a Toys r us figure only.

    So I rang head office and spoke to the higher ups. They told me they still wouldn't match it, even though I got a similar figure for half price.

    As far as I'm concerned, Toys R Us has lost me as a customer. I've had nothing but trouble trying to get price matching from them.

    some days they tell me another store has to have the EXACT figure, sometimes its a catologue, they conveniently never seem to be able to ring them as the other stores dont answer.

    Arghh It just makes me want to blow up Cybertron all over again.

    An exclusive does give them some right I think to not price match even though its annoying. A lot of people do post success at their stores though.

    They did have these two at a reasonable sale price a few weeks ago. If you missed out on that it probably wasn't due to them being out of stock, just bad timing or luck.

    Damn I'd Pay $47 for one. I just didn't see any as they were conveniently out of stock every time I went there for the sale.

    Grand openings don't count
    They were giving away toys at my local TRU grand opening well over a decade ago.

    When I go to South America in a couple of months I will have a search for them but I doubt that I will find any. South America gets all of the US stock but not store exclusives as far as I know.
