(...) My impression is that managers are afraid of encouraging people to trash sets themselves in hopes of getting a discount. It seems that when a damaged box is found, they will often try to "repair" it by sealing it up again to see if it will (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Hi, I tried to get a discount for a very shelf worn 7191 X Wing once with a ripped box. When I took it to the service desk at TRU and asked for a discount they looked at me like I was from Mars...I then took it back to its place on the shelf and (...)

As I recall several people in our area (New England) tried getting discounts on damaged sets after learning that the Lego Outlet struck off a whopping 50% for even simply dented sets.

Hi, I went to Toys R Us before and saw that there were 2 Railway Express (4561) train sets left (both at normal prices $139.00 each). What caught my eye was that one had a tear in the box, and looked as if someone tried to get at some pieces in the (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) 3132 is "Emma in Spring Dress" the boxes are in OK condition, but it's just a doll and they are packaged like Barbie sets so I guess it doesn't matter.
