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.

Are they going to clearance all the over-stock?
I ask because in the TRU’s I have visited I have found some old Star Wars sets
on clearance and some like Watto’s Junkyard and Gungan Sub still at full price.
The clearance seems hit or miss at best, considering I can get a Y-Wing or
Republic Gunship half price but full price on a Trade Federation MTT and Mos
Espa Pod Race. Some of the Adventurer sets are priced high considering they have
been cycled out already.
Another question.
Will the discounts deepen as Christmas nears?
