Knowing that the brand new Target stores near me only stock 2 copies of the
4534 LEGO Express train set at a time, I went in hopes that the store would
NOT have any left on the shelf. Lucky for me, there were none.
So I wrote down the UPC code and the shelf SKU and trotted to the service
desk. I got myself issued a Rain Check for 6 copies at the sale price.
Being eternally short of funds, this delay will be good for me. Some other
day I will have to have a brief meeting with the toy manager at this Target
store to inform him that he needs to order 3 case packs just for me. I
would love to purchase more than 6, but financially that is not realistic.
Perhaps if I can delay long enough, I will be able to purchase for even less
than the sale price, but I doubt that because this is a new item and a
Target exclusive. I am not even sure I understand why Target has this item
on sale right now. Perhaps after other retailers get theirs (after the
exclusive deal ends) then I could understand it. Being that this item is
overpriced, though, could explain a lot. But, I am not an economist or a
marketing expert.
