I just walked in, showed them the Walmart price from my phone and they matched it, no problem.

Wow - you're lucky. My store won't even follow the TRU policy (competitor's flyer). Even the manager wouldn't do it.

What? Your TRU won't follow their own policies? I would be hugely calling customer service and freaking out.

I did but they did not do anything either... They only offered to price-match it online (their very helpful phone folks... located in the US) and at that point they called the store with the sale and told me afterwards that apparently they were out of stock (the other store was a Target) and thus they could not match it.

After that I just gave up as it wasn't worth my time. That was about a year ago. Haven't been to a TRU since then... plenty of other places to get good LEGO sales :)

I just walked into my local Target and they price-matched the $74.00 Star Destroyer no problem. Cashier girl said yes, confirmed with manager who also said no problem.

Basically, it never hurts to ask!

This may not be news to some people: If a CSM doesn't price match you, just go back another day or during another shift. Or just to a different checkout, if you're feeling adventurous. There are sometimes multiple CSM's working.

I attempted to price match on the 27th and was shot down at two different walmarts. I went back on the 31st and had no problem. I picked up Benny's Spaceship for $59 and the CSM said something like "wierd, those aren't supposed to be in store anymore." I have no idea what he meant by that, but I got my spaceship.

^ All the items that were included in the online sale all said "Not sold in stores". Even though they all were in stock at my local store.

In Wal Mart at Rosemere, Quebec, the girl manager told me that they had orders not to do any price match on Lego (at least, from their own website). But I managed to do it in Mascouche, Quebec. Both places had these in stock :
70725 : Ninjago Mechdragon
70724 : Ninjacopter
70816 : Benny's spaceship
75055 : Imperial Star Destroyer
70728 : Battle for Ninjago City

I was able to price match Benny's Spaceship at Target and applied a 10% store-wide coupon and another 5% off with the RED card.

I wasn't aware Target carried the Spaceship. My local store always has bare shelves.

How are people price matching
Regular counter or customer service
Are you showing pic on phone or just mentioning it?

was very tempted to snatch these two up:

$80 (instead of $100)
70815 Super Secret Police Dropship

$100 (instead of $120)
70816 Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!

good prices?

20% and 17% off respectively is hardly a deal in my opinion. Personally wouldn't consider these for anything less than 30% off. Walmart used to have great clearance deals, but I haven't bought clearance Lego at Walmart for well over a year. Gone are the days when 50% off was common as too many people are willing to snatch them up at the paltry discounts the're offering. I remember 2 years ago seeing endcaps of Ahsoka's starfighters, luke's landspeeders, and Mace Windu's starfighters for $20 each, as well as larger sets for half price or better. Gone are the days of "good" clearance deals at Walmart other than a few online deals that sell out in minutes.
