Wow! This day is really turning out to be cool! My Psych Class was interesting, the test I had in Criminal Justice was easy, and I got to leave early! So I then headed down to the Wheaton TRU, and what do I find? Three Lego Reps stocking the (...) (25 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) My brother tried to have TRU price-match the 4561 (this being the one week out of the year that I'm not near a TRU, of course). He'd just been across the street at Target and they had a 4561 in stock. The TRU cashier said that she had to (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) That *does* seem reasonable (although it sucks that Target didn't fess to having it in stock) -- no reason for them to match the price if you can't actually go to Target and buy the same set. Still a bummer, though, that they bothered to (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Well, if he was in the Target, why didn't he buy it there??? Why give TRU the biz anyway? Even discounted they're still making money and I think most people know my opinion of TRU in general. But if you really want to force TRU to match (and (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) *grumble grumble* My Target had 8 4561's in stock when I was there. I could, unfortunately, afford to buy only one of them. Curses to debt! Adrian -- (URL) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) No, It just comes with nine different booklets/sheets for all the submodels. Stupid, if you ask me. One Large Booklet is more space economic, at least in my instruction sorting system. Jeff (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Because he had $100 in TRU Visa credit to use. TRU doesn't tend to have much that I want so that was a good chance to use the credit. Oh well, TRU will likely put the 4561s on sale too. Steve (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

Yeah, this was a case where I thought that the manager of that TRU should probably take some time off work to take a few business courses, because what they did was sure inane business policy (this was in Jackson, Mich. for anybody who cares). This (...) (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

The 4559's have been marked down to $100 a couple of weeks before Christmas each of the last two years at TRU (not a clearance, just a sale), so there is at least historical precedent for Steve's hopefulness ;) Alan (...) (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Possible, but having observed some of the old stock I have seen at TRUs, I would not bet on it. TRU seems to have a curious attitude towards clearancing Lego sets. When the corporate machine says 'go ye therefor and clearance', then all the (...) (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Target is sold out, but just out of morbid curiosity . . . how much was 4561 on sale for? I've really wanted one of the train sets, but I can't afford $130 at this point in time. The way everyone is talking, it sounds like they were pretty (...) (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
