As do I. I know they had a much better selection of LEGO sets than anyone, TRU
looked like and still does a garbage store compared to them. They had a lot of
sets that were not anywhere else, I do not know if they were from Europe or
whatever, and they also had a lot more stock than TRU did. The employees seemed
a lot nicer and more helpful as well. TRU seems to be a collection of dim-witted
teenagers that barely deserve the minimum wage. It is too bad, really.
