I live within walking distance of that TRU and it always stinks. Last
weekend was the first time I saw all the new star sets there at the same
time except for the technic threepio. I think it might say moire about that
individual's store management than anything else, but being February, stores
are still low on stock from after Christmas. I am waiting to see what
happens around April and May when all of Alpha tem should be on the shelf as
well as the new Dino sets and perhaps Bionicle. They might be withholding
large reorders so that shelves will have space for the new lines.
