[ ... snipped ... ]



I wonder how many people ordered it and actually got suckered into paying • that
price. Might be a nice test of market gullibleness.


KB-Kids: "Any price you can charge, we charge higher. We can price any set
higher than you!"
TRU: "No you can't"
KB-Kids: "Yes we can"
TRU: "No you can't"
KB-Kids: "Yes we can. Yes we can, Yes we can, Yes we can!"

[with appologies to various web sites and the lyricists of the original
score]


This reminds me, last weekend at TRU I noticed a sign above a pile of 3409
sets with a sign above them that stated "Now $49.99 - Regularly $59.99".
The price sticker in the LEGO aisle still had $49.99 on the shelf.
