My experience has always been that WalMart will pricematch TRU if you can show them the exact figure at a discount price on TRU’s website, *and* show them the written dates of the sale. They don’t get that for the website to show the discounted price the sale has to be current (and yes I’d get if they had to refresh the page to do that).
So my best advice for success is:
(If figure is on TRU’s website)
Have physical flyer in hand. Pull up tru page to figure showing sale price (not % off).
Show cashier tru web page saying “Hi, Toys R Us has these figures on sale right now and I’d like to pricematch. As you can see they are on sale this week for $23.98 instead of the regular price of $29.99”. At this point it is 50/50 that they will say “ok” and do the pricematch - OR they will need to see dates of the sale. That’s when to have the flyer (or at least the online flyer) ready to show them the dates of the sale and that’s today indeed falls within.
(If TRU does not have the exact figure on the website yet)
Much harder to do and requires buying and later returning a figure you don’t want. Basically they understand that if you’re getting a pricematch on figure A, and figure B is the same thing just a different character, they will usually apply the same pricematch to the second figure Ok. So grab a poor Flywheels alongside with your brand new wave figure and follow the above steps to first pricematch Flywheels. If success then you push the new wave figure along and say “and this is the same line and size, just a different guy”. They scan the new wave figure, see he scans the same as Flywheels, and in my experience have generally then done the pricematch.
Then later return the unopened Flywheels with your receipt (for the price matched price, no scamming here). Just don’t forget and come across your unopened and unwanted Flywheels 5 months later in your collection room (been there).
