Ah, maybe it's just an American phenom, then. Lemme check...
I think Thanksgiving is always the last Thursday in November, which
would make it the 25th this year, making the HUGE (and I mean HUGE)
shopping day the 26th.
On the 26th _every_ store in the country will run huge sales, be
open at 6am, etc.
A couple years ago when 400 pc buckets were $10 retail TRU ran them
for $5 during this sale. We showed up at 5:30 and there were
already about 300 people in line ahead of us, but most of them
wanted other crappy toys. We had two buggies loaded up with 400 pc
and Freestyle buckets when the first people interested in Lego stuff
came over.
I don't remember the sale being that incredible last year at TRU,
but we kinda like to do it anyway, and it's always fun to see what
the Office Max/Office Depot stores are going to put on deep sale,
like the $99 Casio palmtop I got the same year as the buckets.
Then we usually go to IHOP and have breakfast. :)
