Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

By Arizona state law, retailers are required to sell something at the marked price, and if it's been mis-marked, that's tough nuggies for them. I pointed this out an the cashier was a dick who refused to see it for me, so we called the manager in and I showed him the wrack where I got it, where ALL the basics were, and he said that that was the wrack for the Classics Legends and gave me this BS line that kids had moved them all there. I obviously wasn't going to win this, so I let them know I didn't believe that crap excuse for a second and left.
So yeah, I just wanna vent here and state the painfully obvious that Walgreens sucks.

It's not worth getting in an uproar over $4.00, however, in the future if something like this happens, go over the store manager's head. Make their life hell. Next time it could be something super important.

I don't think you have a case to argue. Doesn't matter what rack they are under if the peg was marked Transformers: Legends or has the SKU for the Legends toys. They don't have to honor the prices for something put in the wrong place, only if they are actually mislabeled. If some stock boy had put $3.99 price stickers on the Basics, THEN it would be something you could claim they have to honor.
Michigan has the same law, and I use it often, but I couldn't claim that a toy on the wrong peg has to be honored. I could easily put a new $20 movie on a shelf with the $2.99 movies, and claim I want that price if they had to honor where an item is placed.
Only the actual price tags and signs that describe the product matter. If the peg said "Transformers Legends 3.99" on it and you expect to pay that price for a Basic, you are a moron, not Walgreens.
