The simple answer (probably) is that they do not purchase LEGO directly from
TLC, they purchase through a distributor like Marz (Marz dropped the line). The
distributor prices are only worthwhile if you're able to sell at full retail.
Sale prices at WalMart and Target, KB Kids, eToys are (were) significantly
cheaper.
Throw in the aggravation factor of establishing a business, securing Sales Tax
licenses, etc., tolerating the thin margins, sporadic shipments and selection,
you'll do better chasing the sales.
