Then, with my Target ad in hand, I grab 4561.

My brother tried to have TRU price-match the 4561 (this being the one week
out of the year that I'm not near a TRU, of course).  He'd just been across
the street at Target and they had a 4561 in stock.  The TRU cashier said
that she had to verify with Target that they had the item in stock before
TRU would price match it.  She called Target which reported that it didn't
have the item in stock, so, no price match.  Has anyone else gotten this
response from TRU?  I've price matched at other stores with no such problems.

Thanks anyway, Alan. :)

That *does* seem reasonable (although it sucks that Target didn't
fess to having it in stock) -- no reason for them to match the price
if you can't actually go to Target and buy the same set.  Still a bummer,
though, that they bothered to check.  I bet if your brother had had
a flyer advertising that price, they wouldn't have called
and checked.
