Question: Can people watch the TRUs that close and see if they can acquire the 'promo' items that might be related to Lego? I'm thinking of the large mini-figs and bricks, if they are in place.... of course, I've only seen these in the updated (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.promo)

(...) Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm still home doing grades (should've been turned in yesterday) so I figured there's no way I'd have time to check! Now I don't have to worry that I'm missing anything! Maggie (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Don't bother. My Tuesday Morning in Durham, NC has put out the selection that will be available at 8am Feb 5th. There was some soccer, studio (but not exploding bank) a lot of very small box sets, some polybags, a lot of it the same that they had (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I dunno how much time you spend in modern libraries, but from the sound of it, I think TRUs are just catching up with the modern library. The modern library consists of lots of curvy-shaped tables with PCs everywhere with a few carousels of (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) The new TRU in carousell (here in perth) is in what I assume is this new format. The lego section is much easier to find than the ones in the city and morley. (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) I've actually seen a couple different formats over the last couple years. A couple years back they seemed to be switching the stores over to a layout based on a large oval around the store. Around the edges of the store the high shelves mostly (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) A few of the stores that I frequent are of a smaller than average square- footage. Perhaps they are to small to convert (as none of them have the new format). Perhaps they are the ones to be axed. Ray (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I have noticed a couple of Australian stores undergo this renovation. In Sydney(AUS), Parramatta, Chatswood and Moore Park have gone from library mode to carousel format. The LEGO section was moved from up against a back wall to a much more (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) The older TRU layout (in the US) was a lot like a supermarket. A number of parallel aisles, divided by tall wall-like shelving, which made the store feel more like a warehouse and less like a store for children. The newer layout is much more (...)

(...) As far as I can tell, Target is not afraid to 'clear the decks'. That attitude is what make their stores look cleaner than any other that I know of (K-Mart could pay attention here). Target (generally speaking) also does not overload the (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
