In my quest for Star Wars value packs, I recently visited several local • TRU
stores int he Cleveland, OH area.

At one store (Parmatown Mall) I noticed that almost all of the Lego sets
seemed to have been marked up by about 10%.  $20 sets were $22, $35 sets
were $38.50, Etc.


[ ... snipped ... ]

I noticed this at the Durham, NC TRU the other day.  I needed a large
(48x48) baseplate on short notice and picked one up.  Surprise, Surprise!
It rang up for $12.99.  Annoyed, but in need, I bought it anyway.  I checked
the Cary, NC TRU a couple of days later and all of their LEGO prices
arehigher than MSRP as well.

(...) It seems that every TRU that I have been to lists the 628 for $12.99. At TRU in Grand Rapids yesterday I didn't notice any other markups. I did notice a Naboo Swamp + Gungan Sub combo pack for $29.99, which is pretty decent price. -Jason (URL) (23 years ago, 10-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) checked (...) I believe that this is the standard price for the 48 x 48 baseplate, atleast at TRU. They were $16 at the one I was at today. ;( Troy (23 years ago, 11-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)
