At TRU once long ago, I found a 6155 Deep Sea Predator with a 4 inch tear in
the front of the box. I asked the manager if they gave any discounts for
damaged sets, and he said only if it's the last set. Luckily it was, and he
gave me a 50% discount.
As for Meijer, I'm only up in Indiana about once a year, and the only one
that I'm able to visit is just south of Indianapolis. Haven't had any
experiences with discounted Lego there to date. :^)
