If you look closely at your latest S@H catalog you will notice that the
Pirate sets are labeled "Hard To Find" where as the Gas and Wash Express is
labeled "Not Available In Any Store". Also, the TRU circular in last
Sunday's paper noted that the Pirates were a "TRU Exclusive".
I view it as progress that the Pirates made it back onto the shelves of at
least one store. I hope to see more of the LD offerings be available in
stores as opposed to only via S@H. I am more likely to make an impulse buy
than I am to make a catalog purchase. If the new train cars were available
at TRU or Wal-Mart I'd probabably have three or four times as many as I have
now. Everytime I went in someone one would end up in the cart!
