Hit up Bryan WM and TRU (w/ SoundwaveMPL) today...nothing new.
Also, I tried to do an "Ad Match" at the Bryan WM for the Walgreens BOGO and all I got was a "NO GO"! So much for an Ad match guarantee... "I could take a &*^% in a box and put a guarantee on it and all you'd have is a guaranteed box of &*^%!) - Tommy Callahan, CEO of Callahan Automotive Parts I was simply trying to clear the pegs... |

Soundwave, thanks for catching the Tommy Boy quote. After all of the failed attempts yesterday, "I [felt] like Jo Jo the idiot circus boy." Man, that was frustrating... |

I think that was the issue. The Walgreens add doesn't list a price. It only says, "Buy 1, get 1 free". Apparently WM does a little math before they follow up on their 'guarantees'. I did seriously contemplate going back, conducting a light Recce, and trying to find a less attentive cashier; but, I guess I'm not quite a seasoned enough Cobra Trooper to pull a mission like that off yet.

Dude... grab a manager. It is their policy even on the damn TV that they will price match any ad as long as you have it with you! Now they may fuss about giving away things for free because it is taking from the shelf... but honor the ad! If not.. call corporate and give them names and the store # and really start a fire under that ass!
Walmartstores.com: Our Ad Match Guarantee Our [Wal-Mart's] Ad Match Guarantee We’re committed to providing low prices every day. On everything. So if you find a lower advertised price on an identical product, tell us and we’ll match it. Right at the register. We gladly match the price in the following types of ads:* Buy one, get one free ads with a specified price Example: Buy one for $2.49, get one free (BOGO) Competitors' ads that feature a specific item for a specified price. Preferred shopping card prices for specific items that are in a printed ad. For fresh produce and meat items when the price is offered in the same unit type (lb. for lb.; each for each) *The following are guidelines and limitations: We will match any local competitor's advertised price. We do not require customers to have the ad with them to honor a competitor's ad. Items purchased must be identical to the ad (size, quantity, brand, flavor, color, etc.) We DO NOT match the price in the following types of competitor ads: Items that require a separate purchase to get the ad price example: "Buy [item A] to get [item B] for $C" Items with no actual price that require a purchase to get free product example: "Buy both [items A & B] to get [item C] for free" Items that require a purchase to get a competitors' gift card example: "Buy [item A] to get a $B gift card Buy one, get one free (BOGO) ads with no actual price given Going out of business or closeout prices Percentage off example: "All mascara, 40% off" Competitors' private label price promotions We do not honor: Ads when the actual price for items cannot be determined. Internet pricing Misprinted ad prices of other retailers "Going out of business" sales or "close out" prices Batman, you said it in your post and its my take away from WM's 'guarantee'..."price match". Now, that being said, I'll definitely keep a more vigilant eye on Joe advertisements and unsuspecting cashiers...(BTW, there was a manager right by the register. I see now that my report obviously contained insufficient information...) |

Well curses! I guess if there is a Walgreens in your area.. you should go there. Maybe they will have a Shock Trooper and Alley Viper and completely make your day!

Yeah I was gonna say. It's price-matching, not really promo-matching.

I bought 1 Cobra Trooper and 1 Cobra Viper at the Bryan WM this morning since I got the latest wave of Transformer Generation figures (Junkheap and Sky Shadow) there. Still 1 Cobra Trooper and 4 Cobra Vipers left as well as a bunch of Renegades figures. All I need to be caught up now is wave 3 Joes, which I will be lucky to find by the end of the year.

I went ahead and relieved the College Station Ross of the last Sting Raider they had. The only other Joe item I saw there was a ROC Polar Sharc with Ice Storm.
