I had purchased as many of the <set:3033> from a $5 off sale about a month ago
and ended up with as many as I thought I could afford, but still wanting more.

Last night, I got a call from the manager of one of the local Toys 'R' Us
stores and he had been shipped 160 of the blue tubs, even though he didn't
need any.  Since he just got Kids 'R' Us put into his store, he has no room,
so he offered me all 160 at the $5 off price!  Normally, I don't go crazy
about 25% off, but I have never seen these available for any less and even so,
it would be unlikely that I could ever get this kind of quantity if I did.

If your local TRU is getting a Kids 'R' Us put in, the management might be
willing to cut some deals to move stock, but your mileage may vary.

Now, does anybody want to help sort 160 tubs?
