I stopped by my TRU this afternoon. For several weeks now, they have had a
series of shopping carts out front just filled with *junk* for clearance.
And if it rains during the days, these carts filled with stock sit in the
rain. Needless to say, there is nothing good in there.
However, today I drove by and out by the carts, standing in a TRU window
frame above the shopping carts was one of the large display Lego
mini-figures! Normally you see these inside up high on the Lego shelves.
He has red pants, a blue zipper jacket and a white contruction hat. And a
TRU orange clearance sticker that said "New Lower Price! $2.99"
I snagged him fast.
A large display mini figure for $2.99. Who would have guessed??
Watch your TRU!
