OK I have a question because something in this does not make sense to me.
When does TLC give persmission to put thier products on sale? Do they just
give blanket permission (Unlikely but I could be wrong) or do they give
permission to put item 7110 on sale and also tell them the sale price. If the
latter is true I can understand TLC taking the hit but if the former is true I
doubt very much that TLC takes much of the hit.
I also find it hard to believe that TLC will take the hit for say a K-mart BOGO
sale on the entire LEGO line that just doesn't make sense to me but IANAR (I am
not a retailer) so I don't know how these types of deals are worked out.
If anyone can give me some insight into how these deals are arranged I would
appretiate it.
