Problems with understocked stores?

My Target now has as far as I know all of the new sets. I got myself a few Power Miners sets and the Clone battle pack.

Like Yeow said, Target had a nice little Power Miners display set up. I hope you guys have good luck as well!

Last time I went to Target, Lego was quite scarce. They had a fair amount of new sets, but no SW battle packs, which I was hoping to get.

However, I did notice that they did have a large amount of the City Minfigure Collection, I bet that will end up being a shelfwarmer. Hello clearance!

Don't forget, Tax Day may be April 15th, but for tax-purposes they have to take inventory once a year, usually right about now... and you want as little on-hand at inventory-time as possible. If I were running a business, I'd want to do whatever necessary to get rid of everything, close for a few days or a week before Inventory, then have a full top-to-bottom restock the day after so I'd have no inventory taxes at all...

This message brought to you by a former Business major, who threw it all away in favor of WWII Studies, less politics and a clearer conscience.
