We already had to go to great lengths to secure the McBionicles.
Just think, the kids will never know they even existed.

Or let them run them at a 'special discounted price'.
LA like to play special deals for different retail chains, but a special deal
for one, means other stores miss out/can't stock the other stores' exclusives.
Take for example, the 3 pirate set re-issues. No fanfare, just 1 set per chain
over 3 chains and at discounted prices. Strange behaviour.
Not many parents would have the stamina of our 12 months-a-year LEGO aisle
surveillance. Lugnet, the beast with a thousand eyes.
