Based on the TM early reports last week I decided not to go stand in line
this morning. I did stop by about 8:30 AM after they had been open for 30
minutes to see what was available. My local TM (Cary, NC) had about the
same selection as described above. I was going to buy about 10 of the 1271
Jungle Surprise set but there was no way I was going to wait in that line
for it. This event was nothing like the previous TM events I have been to
(where I have dropped at least $200 or so). Selection was poor and the
prices stink.
Right now TM is competing with WM clearance and the Target clearance has
just passed so their prices seem really out of line. Had they done this
sale back in December like they have in years past I imagine I would have
bought some stuff simply because I hadn't had a LEGO clearance fix in a
while. Having picked up a bunch of Watto's Junkyard sets at Wal-Mart for
$20 the other night, everthing at TM seemed overly expensive. Most of it
was still on the shelves, the only thing I saw in anyone's cart was the
Polar Base and a big Duplo set.
