Well, here it is 28 September, and I've checked out my local
Tuesday Morning clearance-type store at their fall season reopening.
This seems to represent the merchandise that they will have through
Christmas. Apparently, whatever source provided their great supply
last year wasn't available this year.
I'm sorry to report that there was nary a LEGO item in sight -- some
Playmobiles and a small number of MegaBlocks.
I'd love to hear about it if anyone finds anything at some other location.
