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

I was very surprised by the lack of sale signs in TRU. Unless you
looked very closely at the shelf stickers, you would not know the LEGO
was on sale. I told a bunch of shoppers while I was there.
