I need an original receipts from Toys R Us for Lego set #1349 LEGO • Studios
Steven Spielberg MovieMaker Set:

Obviously, you would have had to have paid in cash and the receipt • should be
relatively recent for it to be of use to me.

Fraud kinda' sucks...you might want to explain why you would need this
receipt...

Of course, Toys 'R' Us will give you a gift card/Geoffrey Dollars/store
credit for the return without receipt, if you shop at T'R'U often enough • to
make that work...

   ...and, you can only get a *cash* refund if the original purchaser
   paid with debit or cash.  I'm betting that most folks haven't bought
   their 1349s that way.  If you take it back without any receipt, they
   *should* be able to give you store credit, just as they would if the
   item had been bought with a third party CC.  I did that just today,
   in fact--I had lost my receipt--and I got a little card, that's good
   indefinitely and that I can use piecemeal (and I will, when the Ep II
   sets come out).

No deal. I checked with 3 TRUs and they require a receipts because of the
price of the item being return. One of the managers explained to me that,
for any item $200 or more, a receipts is required. The set scanned in at
$199.99, before tax. I even asked them for part of the refund, and they said
that the computer bars them from doing it (ie, if the item is $200 or more
there's an automatic tripwire).


   But Matthew is 100% right, if you use such a receipt to obtain money,
   it's legally fraud--otherwise, what would stop other people from
   buying things on clearance at Target for 75% off, spoofing receipts,
   and getting cash back for full price at TRU?  That may not be your
   intent, but the law makes no such distinction.

Please see my response to Matt.

   Of course, if your reason for wanting a receipt is not for returning
   the item, then the above naturally doesn't apply.
