Everyone probably has their own definition, but I think it's OK if it's figures from the same line and relative release period. Do the retailers end up loosing out in the end? Probably. But in my eyes it's no different than exchanging a figure you got as a present and don't want for one you do want.

I personally don't do it, but I know many-many people here do do it. And in such a way that seems really unfair. They'll buy a stash of old discount figures and exchange them at a way later date without the receipt for new stock, because technically they're still at the same price point, and the system sees them as the exact same thing.

But as mentioned, if everyone games the system like this, this photo and thread is what the end result will be.

I'm sure there's no wording that makes it Illegal.

But I still find it morally wrong, because it's not an honest intention to:
- buy an item
- give it a reasonable chance
- then fall back on a return/exchange if it genuinely didn't work out

It's like on Seinfeld when Jerry returned the jacket for "spite". The manager rejected his return as the reason was invalid.
Ok, maybe it isn't.

Anyway, interesting discussion; I found myself re-questioning my original "fraud" assessment.
Thanks for keeping this topic civil, TF-dudes!

If i buy SB from amazon.ca is there no reason I cant return him to TRU with a receipt within 45 days of the one I bought from TRU but opened?

They didn't have sales on CW Deluxe, the cashier said they are different from those older Generations deluxe.

I agree with this. TRU has a loophole and they are trusting customers not to exploit it?

btw has anyone seen Arcee and Chromia? Will they be part of this sale?

I went and got a CW dragstrip for 9.99 which is 8 off the original price. The CW was not on sale originally. But when I asked the cashier, she said she couldn't think why those were not part of the sale so she took the same dollar amount off

Man you are a lucky guy. The cws are more money and in the end not part of the sale it's always nice to find a casher that does not know to check first but other way the rest of us will get are sale soon enough (I pray)

Did you buy sb from tru? You have 45 days to get a price adjustment with the low price guarantee. Take your receipt in when the voyagers are on sale. I did. They refunded the difference on prime and bolt.
