That way you will be able to buy it at the 20% off price next time they have one in stock, even if it is after the sale is over.

Edit: I just saw it says 'Online Only' on the website, but that isn't necessarily true. My TRU has had this in before, and when I went in today they have 2 more scheduled to be delivered this week.
Which store is that?

Two agents rejected the price match request based on the fact the item is out of stock right now.

Grrrr!

Waiting on hold for a supervisor now. This should be fun.

After waiting on hold for 25 mins, the customer service rep said the supervisor approved it.

Wait, seriously? The one in St. Catharines has it? Not that I'm getting it but it's interesting to know that it does. I picked up the Obi-Wan Starfighter set for like $35 before tax because of a crappy box there once. Is that location good with discounts or something? I'm not from here but I go to school here. Though the TRU here is way too far for me to visit.

I had the same deal, the guy on the phone had a really thick Southern accent, and was either the worst actor at pretending he was confused about it, or he was totally clueless.. I too spent about 20 minutes before a supervisor approved it.. But in my case, I purchased the sets AFTER midnight, so it wasn't even an issue of price matching.. all they had to do was honour what the flyer advertised...

I got the same guy on the phone the first time I called.

He pretended he was confused about the policy as well. With that guy I just hung up and called a few minutes later.

They always do that when they sell out. It'll pop back up when it's in stock.

I couldn't find it by searching or in the MF section, you need a direct link. I already have a copy (just waiting to build) but I still had it in my recently viewed so here is the link http://m.toysrus.ca/skava/static/produc ... toysrus.ca" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Was at the TRU at Markville Mall yesterday and they had a couple of the Haunted Houses in stock. I didn't scan it so I don't know if they're showing up at the discounted price.

Saw an Arkam Asylum at a TRU too, scan in at full price. Also the tape seem intact yet with sets like this, which is not suppose to be in store made me wonder if the set have been tempered with then returned.
