Ted:
Just stopped by my local Toys R Us yesterday and noticed
that some of the Star Wars Action Fleet items from Galoob
are on sale. I picked up 2 Y Wings for $1.97 each. Look
out Stargrunt 2 players - now I've got close air support!
***
Alas, my local TRU only had B-Wings for the Action Fleet. Not thrilling
to
moi.
Michael:
AHH!! The secret is out. I've been picking up Storm Troopers, Battle
Droids,
etc at half price or less. Seems that Galoob(Hasbro) is liquidating
stock.
***
Just spent $15US on the earlier, smaller troops. At $.97US a pack, and
about 9 per pack, plenty of both imperial and rebels, plus Ewoks, Tusken
Raiders, and Jawas for variety! As for liquidating, I figured it was
TRU,
not Galoob.
Ok, more than I'll ever use; people pretty much expect that of me. ;->=
Michael:
Watch the toy section at your grocery store too.
***
Speaking of letting secrets out! Well, I've never found food stores good
for prices, but that's been a positive. They tend to hold on to
'unpopular'
things forever, at regular prices. Turned out to be a good place to find
wierd stuff I hunted strenuously. Say, #5 and #6 B5 packs. ;->=
Ted:
Since I'm talking about Galoob, has anyone placed a phone
order with them recently? I checked the web page and there
aren't any phone numbers that I can see.
***
Whoa, the Galoob site seems to be only open for the recall of those Sky
Dancers. Maybe there IS something bad going on with the company.
