Lindsay,
I think I have said this a few times, Meijer has a policy to put all
items in stock, from the back, on the shelves as soon as possible. Since
the Toy department is the craziest department to work for in Meijer
during the Christmas season, I think they put it out there so they don't
have to worry about it. They have more sets arriving on the 26th,
anyway. I have seen TRU and Target have the sets before the 26th as
well. It just depends, but I have seen this pattern since I have started
working for Meijer off and on since 1994, and I suspect earlier, as
well. Three stores, three different locations! Columbus, Ohio, Flint,
Michigan, and now Ann Arbor, Michigan!

Quote of the Month: (In Slate)
Al Gore: "Even though national security policy didn't come up, I
suggested that one critical issue for voters to ponder is this:
Whose FINGER do you want on the CONTROL-ALT-DELETE button?"
These are the same people who sued MICROSOFT, folks. If he is that
ignorant about computers, he should not be anywhere near controlling
anything, much less the United States.

| (...) Ann Arbor-Saline Road? Or the Pittsfield one? The former is a really nice, well-organized store. I spent many a night there as an undergrad. I'll probably do the same this Christmas holiday when I'm home--I spend a lot of time in Ann Arbor. (...) (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
