I agree that 1.49 USD is "giving away" by TRU standards. However many many
Dollar General stores in various places I have checked had scads of these 3 fig
packs at 1.00 USD. Unfortunately it seemed like often any one store would have a
lot of one pack and none of any of the others.
Even at 1.00 I have a hard time seeing a use for very many of these. In my view
LEGO may possibly have overpaid for the license, this line hasn't seemed to move
as well as they might have hoped at regular retail.
But then, I'm not much of a sports fan and the pieces in the NBA sets aren't as
useful for other things as some of the other themes (unlike many of the soccer
sets for example)
