Thanks for the tip. It actually worked for me. The TRU in Albuquerque where I used to live would NEVER have price matched like this. But the ones in the DFW area will.
Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

Tried the toysrus at firewheel. (Garland, Texas) they had the list from online printed at customer services and said they won't match frys.
I called the Allen, tx toysrus and the guy that answered was super cool, he said he would price match. He said he had been doing it all day, a woman even had 2 buggies full. He just asked me to show him the lego set number and the price from my phone. He even added the free 5 pack, he was unsure if the system would do it with all the price matches.
No more vampire hearses there tho.

Tried it out in Austin, Texas. They said they didnt price match Frys. You guys that got the price match are really lucky.

You might want to try target or Walmart. Target does not have a list of who they accept like toysrus.

I went to 2 toysrus' in the seattle area and heard two different stories. At the first store they had no issue with frys matching, but they limited me to 2 per sku (luckily they let me do 2 transactions since my husband was there, but didnt count my kid for a 3rd transaction). Got 2 of about 7 different sets, mostly chima and star wars. 2nd TRU only had chima, star wars tie fighter and urukhai army. Got 2 of tie fighter and uruk, but at the register they said they dont usually match frys but would allow it this time.
For those of you who have had their TRU say they dont match frys, try telling them that they would for an electronics item or video game! Should be no different for lego.

what if the items are no longer in stock at the local frys. Wouldn't they still say no due to the availability.

The guy that allowed it did not ask about availability.
Soccerd45 - online toysrus has a list of stores they price match, so they can say no to price matching fry's according to the website rules.

algro18- thanks
I really dont think target will price match since it says explicitly in their price match details that items must be in stock (at fry's). Have any of you guys tried at Target. If there has been success, I might give it a shot.

I tried both of my Targets in my town before I was successful at TRU for a price match. Target has changed their policy to the big 5 stores for the price match, and the 3 Wal-Marts in town told me no because Fry's was not a "local" competitor because they were more than 10 miles away.

The Allen store is the one that price matched for me. There weren't any Monster Fighter Hearses left when I got there either. I did 3 separate transactions and got 3 bricktober figs. Awesome store. Gave them awesome reviews with the survey on the recipt. (its tied to bonuses for the store)

Not sure why TRU would be price matching when it specifically states they will not price match:

"Clearance, closeout, damaged product, used, refurbished, open packages or liquidation sales"

Its because some Managers are cool. I never ask why, I just take the deal and run.
