Hi all,
Toys R Us is pretty much giving away the NBA 3 fig packs at $1.49 each.
|
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)

The NBA fig packs have their (admittedly limited) uses. The kids at Brickfest
