independent toy store -- and in the latter case, even around Christmas, they
only carry the current train sets and not things like extra track. Maybe
you’re luckier in your area, but that’s how it is where I shop.

Joe-
Most of the train stuff we have ever bought was on close out at Target, TRU, or
the tent sale at LLCA. And the best deals we’ve gotten from BrickLink presumably
originated from retails stores, not LEGO brand stores. Our best deal ever was
$1K of train stuff for $50 at a Target. We’ve bought a number of complete trains
at Target at 50% off and even 75% off. That said, we’ve bought a lot of stuff at
MSRP from S@H and stores because it was new and cool and we had to have it (like
all our BNSFs and SuperChief stuff).
