All,
I just got a call from a colleague in our sales department. They are working
closely with the big chains this summer to clear out much of their old
inventory to make way for newer products.
While my colleagues were out
and about all over the country, several people noticed that especially Toys
‘R Us stores often had a great deal of older stock. There is at least one
story of something being found in a back room of a TRU from 1993, and since
that TRU wanted to move it, they tossed it in the clearance bin!
I have
no details on where or what can be found. The word I’ve gotten though is that
TRU is the place to look. Be sure to check back often between now and fall,
as the cleaning effort is ongoing.

Jake is correct about the old stock. I found 2-6478 Fire Fighter HQ at a TRU
about a month and a half ago.
The manager was happy to let them go for $10.00 each. Of course, that was in
addition to the 2 loaded carts I purchased.
