I made a quick stop at the Plymouth Meeting, PA Target in the Philadelphia
suburbs.

The large train set is on clearance for $111
Caboose around $10
Passenger car around $13
Log carrier car around $11

They had about 15 of each car and 10 of the large set.

I bought two of the passenger cars.

I have mixed feelings about the clearance. The prices are great.

But it seems these sets were marked down very, very early in their shelf
life. Does this indicate a failure of the My Own Train line at retail? Or
could this simply be Target management moving merchandise as rapidly as they
can?

Last night at Target (Mira Mesa, San Diego) my wife and I were doing our • usual
browse pattern. I peeled off to check out the action figure aisle while • she
went on ahead to the Lego aisle.

When I was finished I turned the corner and found Michelle salivating over • the
Target My Own Train exclusives on clearance. They were each in the 30% off
range.

Between those and the $30 Ogel Control Center bought as a gift at the TRU • next
door, we came home with a lot more Lego than we had planned to.
