Good point.
I should say that I have had several email dialogues with thetoyshop
(entertainer) too. Similar type of converstations as you by the sounds of it.
e.g. They checked their physical stores to see if they had something in stock.#
However, thetoyshop is not the best example of mail order vs shops, as their
prices for current sets are consistently high, and certainly hihger than
toycity
