I was at hte Oakville TRU and they had every other set in multiple copies, but no 7706. It was also interesting to see the MegaBlok rep there with the TRU guy talking about product that wasn't moving... I still shook his hand, however--having (...)

I know Prokect Y it is still a number of days away but... I was talking to a friend who thought that the TPL was staffed by CUPE.
