Rachael and I were standing in TRU tonight after looking and not
finding any SW sets, basically debating on getting an armload of
Weapons Wagons for $4.97 (we passed - not enough in there to make it
worth it to me) when 3 young boys came over to the Lego aisle.
I'm not good at judging the age of kids, but I'd put them at somewhere
between 7 and 10 - maybe Rachael will read this and correct me. One
of them had some kind of smallish SW action figure or something in his
hand.
They were obviously looking for something and one of them said, "Well,
the commercial didn't say "coming soon" so they should be here." Then
another responded, "Well, it didn't say "now available" either, so
they may not be in yet."
Then they wandered off.
Kinda cute, if you like that sort of thing, I suppose. :)
