You go, Mike! Who said AFOLs have no impact on TLC operations?

There may be some sloshing around in the TRU inventory system too, my local
TRU in GR had a bunch (because they reorder based on volume and I skewed their
volume by rainchecking 45 of them and then buying them when they came in)
Last time I checked they were still 20 which is a bargain when considering the
larger picture, but not one i need to take them up on, unless I build a module
I have enough basic bricks to last me for just about ever.
Wonder if TLC will ever make a tub at this price point again? It's 1/5 of
the "bulk" price, or so it seems.
