    Collecting today's usual junk mail, I noticed an ad for Tuesday Morning
stores (delivered regularly to my mother) that indicated a closeout of all
LEGO sets at $2 to $40 off, adding further that the price range was from
$1.99 (!) to a max of $39.99. The ad says they carry "over 50" different
sets.

    Tuesday Morning is HQ'd in Addison, TX, so to the best of my knowledge
this applies only to the state of Texas. If there is a Tuesday Morning store
in your town, get on over there. I'm looking tomorrow myself at the San
Antonio store, and I'll let you know if I come across anything useful.

  Someone in .market.shopping put up the complete list of what they're
  getting on consignment with prices.  And it definitely doesn't just
  apply to TX, because we have many, many Tuesday Mornings here in
  New Jersey.

Yeah, y'all should read through the TM threads in market.shopping where this
has been discussed at length (and where I'm x-posting this).  TJA is right,
they are unveiling more merchandise next Tuesday.  I made it in this past
Tuesday afternoon and saw NO LEGO at mine.  What I did see were many shelves
taped over with butcher paper with signs on them saying to come back next
Tuesday for even more bargains.  I'm losing patience with these sales tactics--
I fear they're going to drive me to become a LEGO Shopping Curmudgeon.  Ick.

(...) What city are you in? I'm in Austin and the South side store had NO Lego at all today. A couple of cases in the back room but I couldn't see what they were. Ron (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.us.texlug, lugnet.market.shopping)
