I was in a Big Lots today. Most of the recent BL price stickers are merely a
price and a bar-code. I think Big Lots has done away with the MSRP shell game
(at least in the toys dept).

I have seen subtle pricing variations at Target stores over the past few years.
Usually nothing more than 10% one way or the other. I may be seeing something a
bit more than subtle with the new shelf resets at WM. My local WM has nothing on
the shelf priced above $50 (Lego that is), but another WM about 40 miles away
(larger city, more $$s) had some items priced up to $70. I need to go back and
recheck the local store to see if I missed something (old tags, missing tags,
etc). May have been crossed-eyes on my part, but I think I saw a $20 price diff
on the same set. We shall see is a day or two.
