ToysRUs Price match restriction for some Lego sets

[AbuTaleb]

I was able to price match a Duplo set (same set) in two different Toys R Us stores with the price in the Lego web. However, in both stores (located in Montreal), I was told that they have first to check a list of Lego sets that they can't price match. As I mentioned earlier, they did the price match. they checked a list near their cash register and even called the manager in store for further verifications.

I do price match at Toys R Us all the time, but this is the first time to experience this. I asked the cashier about the list and what Lego set on it. He told me that nothing specific in the list. Just some sets that Lego told Toys R Us that they can't price match.

Does anybody have an idea about this and what is going on??

I suspect it's the exclusives that LEGO also won't allow any other stores to put on sale... usually higher priced items (i.e. Death Star, Ewok Village, etc.).
