The only item that I found worth considering was the Mickey & Minnie • Fishin'
Trip Bucket (4178).  I decided to pass though because the price was still • a
little steep. So I went home Friday night empty-handed.

Today, my Tuesday Morning still has them at $19.95, left over from the • last
sale. Also left over was various Duplo and a 1351 Movie Backdrop Studio.

They had two of the Shell promotional sets - 2555 Belville Beach set • ($9.99)
and 2554 Racing Pit Stop ($6.99).

I also saw some 2556 Shell Ferrari's at $19.99.


[ ... snipped ... ]

My visit to TM this morning (actually two of them) resulted in four copies
of 2556 (two from each store), a couple copies of 2555 (each store had about
five) and five copies of 2554 (all from one store).  I spoke with the
manager at the Cary, NC store (who was outside doing crowd control - there
were about 100 people in line) and asked about LEGO.  She told me that they
didn't have anything new, if they did have anything it had been on the shelf
for a while.  YMMV.

2556 (Shell Ferrari) for $20 is a good deal as is 2554 (Pit Stop) for $7 -
the Belville set was $10.  As I recall, when Shell was selling these sets
2556 was $25, 2555 was $13 and 2554 for $10.  The $49.99 MSRP number on the
Ferrari is very misleading as is the $25 MSRP on the Belville set.  I think
these are the worst "MSRP" numbers I have seen from TM.
