Frankly, it seems like Walmart rarely has prices that are all that low on things like Lego sets. Even Target and others rarely seem to do much on price. Frankly, I've done best with K-Mart and K-B but ONLY when they're running major mark-downs. TRU (...) (20 years ago, 28-Nov-04, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Right. The more that WalMart causes other retailers to fail, the more ability they have to squeeze the suppliers, and the less (eventual) competition there will be. Ray fut to .market.theory (20 years ago, 27-Nov-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.market.theory)

(...) I happened to catch a brief report on Fox News on the subject of TRU (an other tory retailers) "exclusives" yesterday. The basic thrust was that TRU has been unable to compete with Walmart on price, so their strategy is to work out large (...) (20 years ago, 27-Nov-04, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) It seems like I remember reading somewhere that 10% of the SKNs at TRU are 'exclusives'. In some cases, that might be a combo pack of otherwise existing merchandise. In others, it might be the 'spring cleaning' tubs and (much more notable) the (...) (20 years ago, 27-Nov-04, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I just got back from TRU. I believe to compete with Walmart most Toy companies allow "exclusives" and first right to display some toys. I wonder if TRU is really doing it with TLC!!! I saw all sorts of new sets on the shelves. Including one that was (...) (20 years ago, 27-Nov-04, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I got 4 buckets - they had green and orange 2x2 corner slopes! (one each) Old slope - Exploriens pattern 2x3 low slope that was last in a Space Accessory pack.

(...) My area K-Marts have priced them at $9.99. Deals at CVS with BOGOF, and the Walgreens boxes are much better. Usually when WalMart had the small tubs like this, they priced them low and watched them fly off the shelves by nine in the morning. (...)

(...) No doubt they're not as good a deal as the 4400s, 4679s and 4562s. But in the grand scheme of things, 400 pieces for $9 ($0.025/piece) or 800 pieces for $13.50 on sale ($0.017/piece) is still pretty good. The usual buckets and tubs are no (...)

Go to (URL) to see ad scans. The Kmart BF 5 hour sale is Buy One, Get One 50% off. Still not as good a deal as the Walgreen's sets. The bonus parts better be killer for the price. I'm tempted to buy 2, go to the car and check them out, then MAYBE (...) (20 years ago, 25-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.market.shopping)
