VA/DC/MD Finds

Ugh! I was in there 5 hours before that and they didn't have any. Who would have thought they would stock early on Sunday night?

I saw the UPC price sticker on the shelf, so I talked one of the employees into scanning it to see if any were in the back. They had a case, so I took one and he put the other five out for sale. The trick to getting the employees to go to the back is to get someone who doesn't work in the toy deptartment. This guy was working in housewares, so I don't think he knew about the whole anti-scalper policy (where they don't bring out cases from the stock room).

By the way, I got him to manually punch in the UPC (which I had written down) for ROTS Collection 1 Obi-wan and ROTS Collection 2 Battle Droid. They were both in the computer, but not in stock. But get this: the price came up $5.99. Not sure if that's news to anyone, but it made me happy. Heck of a lot better than $6.99.

Picked up Ani's Starfighter at Lynnhaven TRU. They had several of them and they were all in very good condition. The one I found was the best looking box I've ever bought. Weird.

Sounds like VA Beach is one setep ahead of Norfolk.

Hit the K-Mart on N. Military Hwy: $15 12" OTC Luke; $10 talking OTC Yoda, one cantina set for $13.99 - Wurher looked like he had taken a mud back before setting up shop.

Everywhere has the lego sets. K-marts was $24.99...
