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.


I think I tried to go to that store several times, and it was closed every
time. Gee, had the 6264 been complete and in good shape, I would have
snapped it up for $25...

The 6264 was new in box although the  box was a bit shelf worn.  I don't
know, I didn't think it was that good of a deal.  I am probably not unique,
but unless I really like a set, I have a tough time paying full price for it
which at $25, was fairly close.  Now if I like something, I won't hesitate
at all.
