Perhaps you've seen the miles of aisles at Toys R Us chock full of Galidor
and Jack Stone merchandise, which don't vanish from the shelves even at deep
(like 80%) discount.

Where do you work, which set # was it, how much were you selling it for on
clearance, and what's the minimum your company is willing to sell them for
now? And what hardware store stocks a sufficient toy section to support a
300-bucket MegaBloks section?
I love anecdotal stories like this. Especially when they involve data
directly in contrast to my own experience.

Since it's a brand name, I would say that *you* are misspelling "Bloks"
rather than Ritvik misspelling "Blocks."
All in fun...
