Thanks Calum

I checked out the Dartmouth NS store this morning.  They did accept the
coupons, but only had one of the three soccer sets you could use them
on.

Lots of the Women's team and expansion sets @$5.  Lots of Championship
challenge, and a smattering of other sets.  None of the small grandstand
and only one opened box of the ball bus.

I got the last of the 7317 (biggest LoM), but they had a bunch of 7316.

Luckily here the TRU is in a big mall.  Still the lot was almost full.
I was very surprised by the lack of sale signs in TRU.  Unless you

was on sale.  I told a bunch of shoppers while I was there.
