A week later I found more at Walmart. I got what I needed and went to pay. I did not have the other receipt but told the clerk about the sale at Target. She did not even question but just rang up the sale price. I took that receipt and went back to TRU. Again no figures, again I asked the manager and again he said no. I then loudly announced "So much for your falsely advertised low price guarantee." while standing under the sign and then walked out. I did not make another purchase at a TRU for well over a decade, so you see, it is possible to successfully collect toys without shopping at TRU.

Btw, it was another 6 weeks before TRU got those figures, by which time everyone who wanted them had them from the other stores, so they peg warmed there for a very long time. That manager had the opportunity to learn a lesson, if he was not too dense to see it.
