Mmmmm. The fancy pants $5m sale involves a dozen or so sets, including the Red
Baron and Pirate ship pricing previously discussed hereabouts. The only other
mildly interesting elements were Tie Fighters for $18 and some of the small
three fig star wars sets for $6 (instead of $12 or $13). Mainly ho-hum stuff

Disclosures: I am not a great friend of TRU since they increased the prices of
MB across the board, including charging $13+ for the Dragons impulse tins which
are $10 everywhere else MB is sold.
Oh, and I occasionally double dunk.
Actually, I do that a lot.
