No.
Look back at your original request...think about how you could have worded
it better, or explained your need more in depth (as you have done
now)...face it, despite the community aspect of LUGNET (and I looked for you
on the membership roster, and searched for how long you have been posting
here before I responded to you) most of us don't know each other from
Adam...helping you out on just your request would kinda' be like buying beer
for the kids hanging out outside the liquor store, ya' know?

Then you shouldn't have minded a receipt with a credit card in the first
place (the major possible fraud warning light for me)...if you walk in and
claim it was a gift, they'll give you store credit no matter the payment
method. They don't care who bought it , where, or how, as long as it is an
item they have in the computer so they can re-stock it. Since they force the
store credit nowadays, it's not like they're out any money...you've got to
spend it with them eventually, or loose it.
(And as an aside, if you are willing to go this far, why not just ask your
mom-in-law to send you a copy of her credit card statement showing the
purchase, and use that as proof...or, if it's that big of a hassle, let her
return it for the charge-back, and tell her what to get you in return...or
bottom line, you got it as a gift, so taking less that the $200 value for it
SHOULDN'T be too much skin off your back)
LFB is right...get the higher-ups involved and you will get your
credit...and I'd like to point out that it was the POS system and company
policy that blocked you from returning the set, not any type of
overabundance of knowledge on the behalf of the employees of either LEGO
sets or whether it was an electronic toy or not.
(Man, can you tell that I hate my local T'R'U, or what? As a former employee
of the giraffe (WAY former!), I hate to see the state the stores are in
today...UCK!)
