Yeah, I have hit the Fred Meyer stores.  One near me had 50+ tie fighters, and
30+ Sphynx surprises, all at full price.  you would hope that a time would
come that they would bit the bullet and clear them out.  the last time i was
there, the empty shelf spaces had been filled with duplo, but they still had
the overstock. ;-(

than that, sales in this area have been non-existent lately.
