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 stores heave to and mark them
down. Lacking a direction from corporate, the stuff just seems to sit
there forever. Once in a while, a store manager will see 'The Light'[tm]
and figure out whay it is a good thing to move that SKU out the door.
But that takes initiative, something not widely observed.

| 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)
