One of the few used toys stores in Raleigh is closing.  The House of Toys
just off Glenwood Avenue near Tuesday Morning (in the general vicinity of
the Raleigh Zany-Brainy) is closing.  Right now everything is half off.  I
picked up the only two LEGO sets I could find in the place, a 6407 for a $1
and a 6431 for $2.  Both were new, why they had them at a used toy store I
don't know.  Neither of these is a great find although 6431 is one of the
few sets on the market right now with real doors.  At one time they had a
6264 Forbidden Cove (Pirates) but wanted $25 for it.  Each time I went back
there it was still on the shelf, but not today.  I hope who ever got it, got
it at 50% off.  The people that worked there the few times I was in there
had a pretty poor customer interface so I am not surprised that they are
closing.
