(...) Well, that's certainly wacky, but I can offer one possible interpretation based upon my limited experience in retail. I worked at a small game/hobby store from 97 through 99 that sold a lot of role-playing games (among other stuff). One (...) (20 years ago, 28-Dec-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Oh, what the hay. I don't want to get any of the employees at the stores in trouble, because they are all really friendly and great people, but I will release the store name anyway. The assistant manager, who is my favorite, is leaving anyway. (...) (20 years ago, 28-Dec-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) For a while, they were sending lots of sets and I was buying a good deal of them. The shelves weren't close to empty and I would leave some for the kids to buy. For some reason, that changed about three or four weeks ago, when they stopped (...) (20 years ago, 28-Dec-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I agree with Dave, this is crazy, I think it might even be considered silly or rediculous. If you are actually paying retail as you say I can't see why they would care how much you bought.

(...) This seems extrmemly odd to me. Based on other posts you have made to LUGNET, I will assume that it is either TRU or KB. TRU can be a little funky at times, and I think KB is on the way out anyway. A small town toy store would not likely have (...) (20 years ago, 28-Dec-04, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Wow, that's CRAZY. I guess maybe I could see them worried about the stocking situation-- since IIRC Toys R Us managers can't control their inventory, they just get what's sent to them (assuming this is TRU or some store with a similar policy).

Okay, here’s a kicker for you and I’m wondering if anything like this has happened to anyone else. I just got back from my local toy store (I won’t name which one yet) and was told that I couldn’t by large amounts of Lego from them anymore. This (...)

One WM store I checked this morning had some sets on initial markdown. The toy dept manager told me there would most likely be more sets with price markdowns after the 'January reset' information is received. [LEGOSet 4504] marked to $75 [LEGOSet (...)
