I went to Walmart and found the new elite series with tugboat and Braun and I went to try to do the price match with game stop and the lady told me because the packaging color is different they can only match the elite figures in the blue packages. I have not done much price matching before. Who is right in this situation? She claimed that she knows all about wrestling figures and that they can only price match the "highly detailed"elite. I proceeded to tell her that all of the figures say "highly detailed" and not just the blue packages ones. So I walked out of there with nothing. Have any of you guys got Walmart to price match the $6.97 elite price?

TRU did it for me yesterday on two figures. I tried a different store today and they refused. I didn't feel like arguing so i left. More often than not, it's a hassle and a big ol' headache.
It's annoying that they want the ad to show the exact picture of the elite you're trying to purchase, as if there's enough space in the ad page to list every single fu€%ing elite available.

Well I ended up going to the Walmart closer to my house just now and thought I would give it a shot. they didn't have the new elite series but I was able to get the TNF figures for that price of $6.97. Hopefully later this week they will get the new elite series in and I can get them for that price

I should've known the dumb bitch at the first Walmart wouldn't have done it because I stood at customer service by myself for over a minute before she finally asked me what I wanted ha ha

Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

Go to the manager. Keep pushing until they let you talk to Sam Walton. They'd rather have your $7 than have you give it to someone else.

Have any of you guys got Walmart to price match the $6.97 elite price? Go back to the store with your gamestop receipt, and also ask to talk to supervisor if the same person who gave you flak is working that day. It always helps if you have some kind of proof with you to pricematch. There is no need to call walmart workers names. For every 1 person that that is a dick, there is another that will usually help you out. If you don't have a gamestop receipt, go back buy an elite to get a paper receipt to pricematch and then return later. |

I didn't call her a bitch at the store. I was nice to her even when she was the one with bad customer service. Also I did have proof. I showed her my phone with the ad from GameStop showing that they are $6.97. What pissed me off more was that she said they can only price match the "highly detailed" elites. I then went back with a blue older elite and a current red box elite and showed her how they both say "highly detailed" on the box. That's when she said she knows a lot about wrestlers and there is a difference between "highly detailed " elite and just regular elite. That's when I knew she was just pulling stuff out of her ass and just making stuff up because she didn't want to do the transaction.

My Wal-Mart no longer price matches ANYTHING.
They have these little signs posted at the registers that say...
"We here at Wal-Mart have rolled back prices on thousands of items, so therefore we will no longer price match or match coupons from other retailers".

Tell the higher up that this csm is not helping me with this pricematch. |

Hopefully later this week they will get the new elite series in and I can get them for that price Wrong or right grab the ones from the one that will match for 6.97 regardless of who it is maybe it's Daniel Bryan then take that Daniel Bryan to Walmart that has new series and exchange it. If they are too stupid to price match because he picture isn't the same but the sku is the same it's on them. |

But when I bring back the Daniel Bryan to exchange for the new elites won't they make me pay the difference? I can see them saying "these are dirrerent figures and you can only change them for the same blue package ones" |

Have any of you guys got Walmart to price match the $6.97 elite price? In my travels, Target is the only one who gives you a real hassle with price matching. Walmart is usually the easiest, though it depends who you get. I kind of think people are having more trouble price matching on this one because the lower price is such a huge difference from the original price. |

2ND UPDATE: I went back, checked out in electronics with no trouble. So that's 5 Daniel Bryans and 3 JYDs total that are gone from the pegs and in the toy bin. I cut the barcodes off the boxes so they don't somehow sneak their way back to our store lol.
UPDATE: Success!! They limited me to 4, but that's 2 Daniel Bryans and 2 Junkyard Dogs gone. May try it again later.
I think I'm going to run to Walmart and try to use this price match to buy up some JYDs and Daniel Bryans , and then donate them in the nearest toy drive bin.
Help clear out some old stock and a kid gets something to play with. Win win situation.

I had to ask Gamestop to match their online price. They tried to charge me $23 for Del Rio. Ha! Not bloody likely.

Have any of you guys got Walmart to price match the $6.97 elite price? she is wrong cuz they're all under the same sku or whatever so inv would group them all together...NOT by box color. And an elite is an elite if it's the same price. |
