TOYS TOYS TOYS

Longtime readers will know of my usual contempt for this Toronto chain which seems to price all of their lego and many other toys "on sale" at 20% above the MSRP. However they just did me a huge solid today so I figured I owed them a shout out. I missed out on the Disney minifigs (apart from 3) and still needed 4 Simpsons minifigs. The location near my office still had a number of these series left at $6.99 CDN each so I normally would pass on taking a chance but just happened to ask the desk jockey if he was any good at smooshing. Turns out they have already pre-smooshed and actually printed labels on the back of each of them identifying which figure it is! So I now have all but 2 of the Disney figs and only need 2 Simpsons figs. The extra price was worth it given the security in knowing what I was getting and not having to pay to buy them online and have them shipped. Plus the dude said they still have a few more boxes to open from their warehouse so they have added the ones I need to a list and will hold them for me if they find them. And also by luck they had a whole bunch of the Combiner Wars Transformers I needed at below MSRP, including Skylynx and Onslaught. Nice high heading into the weekend.
