Thanks for the update. Those are good numbers! A 10% hit in a TRU is probably a
surprisingly high dollar figure (anyone worked for TRU that can give us an
average Saturday take?).

My main question, though, is: Did they sell any LEGO train sets due to the
event? And if so, how many?
Also, were LEGO sales broken out of the sales figures? Or, come to think of it,
was the 10% the upturn in LEGO sales only, or was it store-wide?

Thanks in advance!

Rick C.

The summary is that June 30 (Sat) total sales was 10% higher than
June 23 (Sat) total sales and 10% higher than July 7 (Sat) total
sales.  So our event effectively gave a 10% uptick in total sales
in the TRU store.
