    I refunded General Grievous/Wheelbike because it was a hunk o' crap toy. I thought that consumers had a 7-day cooling-off period thing... the TRU staff member I spoke to told me that this wasn't true and that TRU doesn't honour refunds or exchanges based on change of mind, but still allowed me to exchange/refund it anyway (I can't remember which option I went for - I think I got a refund). Had she stood her ground and refused a refund/exchange, I would've accepted it and kept the toy.

    But I otherwise keep my TFs, even if they turn out to be a big waste of money ... like my Supreme Cheetor which I paid full retail price for. :/

    Not on small stuff like this you don't, only on cars/houses/whatever.

    It's only store policy if they do, it's not law.

    There are cooling off periods on contracted items such as plan mobile phones, insurance policies etc. But not on one-off purchases, as MV75 alluded to.

    Fairy nuff. Like I said, had that TRU staff insisted that I wouldn't be able to refund/exchange Grievous I would've kept it.

    sure if you have the money to waste you can keep it and try and resell the toy at a lower price

    but

    imagine the satisfaction and power you would gain if you tricked a major store into giving you a refund,moral issues aside of course

    just look it as getting back a percentage of the money that TRU scalped off aussie buyers with their overpriced g1 movie Jazz

    who cares a bout scamming a few bucks back outta massive co like TRU they deserve it

    The store was Target actualy, but that don't matter. What is improtant, is I have more tfs with the FAB figures then I would with out them. So.... In all aspects, it came out a plus for me really, I may have picked up some cruddy figures with no good articulation, but they still come under the TF brand and thats good enough for me..
