However, In reality LEGO was only doing their usual pre-sale marketing
prep... ie: updating retail store databases in preparation for the upcoming
December release...
This however should be a problem directed at Target abd its handling of said
databases. I worked retail, did stock management, and used these handheld
computers. You would be amazed. Some of them (held by any average employee
at any given time) show WHOLESALE prices, NOT RETAIL. This may be the
problem -? doesn't seem so, but who knows. Nevertheless, the problem is
Target. Along the same line of 'anyone could walk in off the street and
retrieve this info' - Target wouldn't want it's customers knowing pricing
information before the release date because it probably (if it is anything
like Wal-Mart) may change the prices before December, but is held to any
quoted, advertised or competitor prices.... Thus if someone 'leaked the
prices now, the person they leaked to could hold Target to these prices...
Does this make any sense?
