Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Many Ways to Look at New TRU Pricing
Great news! TRU seems to have doubled the value of your CARS diecast!
Well, technically 71% increase in value … that is the only way to look at it, right? Right? Right?
Or if you prefer, 42% inflation. Not so good.
Of course, you don’t mind paying extra as charity to Bain Capital Partners LLC, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) and Vornado Realty Trust (the current kindly old shopkeepers of TRU) … I’m sure they are just scrapping by … help us help you?

When I checked the details for TRU price match, I noticed there is a limit of 2 items. The only casting I buy is a “Chase” if I am fortunate enough to find one. TRU’s prices for Cars is ridiculous. I buy at a Wal-Mart and Target where the prices range from $3.47 to $3.98. Even Fred Meyer is cheaper at $4.49 before the store 10% off coupon.
Toys-R-Us has ALWAYS been OVERPRICED but, this is ridiculous!!!
“CARS” have been and continue to be VERY difficult to find at retail and we refuse to pay the prices on Epay.
Just one more reason NOT shop at TRU!
Toy-R-Us will going out of business soon enough –
Sad but, true!
I believe Bain was the same company that took control of KB Toyworks and now are doing the same method at TRU. It’s only a matter of time.
It seems to depend which store and which employee you talk to…they have matched a picture of cars on the pegs at Walmart and a copy of a receipt from Walmart in addition to Amazon pricing as long as it is sold by Amazon directly.
They told me they only price match if you have a newspaper add or website with exact same product. The other stores don’t seem to list them on their websites by specific car or even at all. (I figured this was on purpose).
If some knows how to make them price match with wm or target or has a link to their websites that shows 2.99. 3.49. 3.89. And the deluxe 5.99 6.99 show me please. I took a picture of the pegs. They wouldn’t go for that.
I would just ask Ellen Griswold’s cousin Eddie to take the Associate for a little ride over to the other stores for proof.
I have seen all the new Deluxes pegwarm @ $10 each.
No need to pay TRU prices at TRU. They have been much better with their price matching policy of late.
