Even if the website is t showing any in stock, a local kmart might, which would validate the price match. Also use more vague terminology when asking the associate for help. Be polite and respectful and say something along the lines of
"My local kmart has the teenage mutant ninja turtle plushies on sale for 16.whatever, would you please price match them?" If they decline, politely escalate the situation to a manager. And again be slightly vague in the description. If they decline inform them you'll take your business elsewhere. Go home and mail corporate why you took your business elsewhere and get a coupon or gift card. Key is to always be polite, and you'll usually get what you want. I have seen more people get shafted for being rude. I have gotten discounts from cashiers for saying something to someone being rude to them, or even for apologizing for the person in front of me being a jerk. Restoring faith in humanity will reward you.

Really though its worth trying,

For those who still need Donatello keep checking TRU.com, he was showing up as not available to purchase online again, but a little later he was back on there as available. I'm excited to have all 4 finally.

Mikey seems like hes still hard to get unless you can find him in person. Hopefully they will be available online in larger quantities soon.

I can confirm that Donatello has been spotted in Middle Tennessee. I was purchasing the new sand toys at TRU today for my son, and one of the employees asked if I had seen the new plushies. I assumed it would just be the same 3 as Target, but low and behold it was Donnie. I snatched him up! They only had him.

Where in TRU do they put those throw pillows? Not familiar with the layout

They were located around the baby bedding area. I know both TRUs in my area are totally different, but if you find the baby area you should be on the right path

Awesome find! It looks like you can also have it shipped to a store and pick it up there for free.

Awesome job Zulithe! Very sweet to see all 4 for sale at the same place and for a good price.

I ordered 3 from Wally World so I would have two complete sets of these, the total with tax and free shipping was $55.91 Can't beat that.

It's felt like way longer than two and a half months since your originally made this thread. So happy everyone can get all four now, there for awhile I didn't know if we'd ever see Mikey and Don.

Awesome! thanks again Zulithe! Now I have Mike too!

I find it sort of funny how I ended up with one of them from each different store.
Leo/Kmart ,Raph/Target, Don/TRU and Mike/Walmart.

The crazy thing is that Don is selling on eBay for $40+. I think one ended in the $50 range. Yikes!

Aw man! Thanks Zulithe, for finding them!!
I've grabbed Raph and Mike from Target, and my mom had found Leo for me on Valentines day!
And I've been hunting for Don ever since! I just ordered him from Walmart's site, Totally stoked to finally have all of them!
