    The continued price increase is quite annoying. But then, I did warn that the final price would be closer to $149.00 before it was over.

    There were two left in one TRU nearby...for $150.99. And the sticker on the shelf said $138.99.

    I hate metro NY TRU prices.

    The last time I asked them that about something else they said no 'cause it was an exclusive. Then again, that was Carle Place and they're idiots, so.

    You shouldn't regret that. I greatly enjoy displaying in both modes. It is half the fun of TF collecting.
    If the shelf tag clearly reads a lower price you should be able to get it for that price regardless of what it rang up for. As for online prices, I have no knowledge of their policy.

    I wish you luck with that. Acquiring one is often easier said than done.

    I'm pretty sure that I've gotten officially screwed by TRU on this. I ordered this last month 11/23 didn't get the shipping/tracking confirm till 12/04, have'nt gotten an update on tracking, emailed TRU they say they'll put a shipping request and nothing. Contacted UPS and they say label was made but no package was picked up from TRU. I contacted TRU again with the same email they told me to respond to for more questions and I have heard nothing from them yet...*sigh*

    I asked about this problem a few pages back, but now the the hole is deeper and I just want to know, how to get around this?

    Yeah, I can't find nothing here in WA or maybe I'm not looking hard enough. I would've gladly picked yours up, but at the moment my funds are already reserved for other things if I can get my money back from TRU then maybe we can do some business.
