Well I went to Target Wednesday morning and checked out the offerings. Then
Thursday afternoon I returned to buy a set for my son. Sometime in that 24
hour period LOM multi packs and Arctic Packs showed up in large quantities.
These were never on the clearance aisle. In fact I haven't seen the Arctic

return several times as sets would magically appear.

My two Targets don't have the trains on clearance either. I am in the
Pacific NW.

track, coupling magnets, and the entire bag for the dining car.  What are
the chances that I can call Lego and get them to comp me these parts?   If
they don't do it I will be returning it to Target for a refund.  The stores
in my area have way too many of a particular (>100) that I am waiting for it
to go to 75% off and then I will swoop in and buy them all up.  Should be
able to make a hefty profit on ebay if I can swing it.
