I'm out of choices to check Big Lots unless I go down to Ft Myers or up to Tampa and I'm sure with the bigger markets those are already picked over. Funny thing is one store told me "What do you expect, you know how those collectors are." I suppose in some small part it's true. |

That's bogus..collectors and scalpers are night and day...
that's been going on around our neck of the woods and it makes me not want to step foot in their store. Its cool if you want to get some for your store(never mind that they have dealer access most of the time)..but snagging everything from one store only to sell in their store is just bad business(douchy if you ask me)... I hope they collect dust on their overpriced labels..

I really hope since MOTUC doesn't really attract casual fans that most collectors just ignore people that have a lot of these on eBay or images with the Big Lots price on it.

Ended up doing some shopping with my wife and can now officially announce that there is absolutely nothing new in the Kendall WM, Kendall, or TRU. I did note that the Kendall TRU has the Eaglehawk priced as $42.99. Just in case someone did not read my previous post or is too lazy, the Dadeland TRU Eaglehawk scanned at $49.99 as of yesterday.

How long ago did big lots get the motuc classics? Is it the tail end of them and I missed it?

I bought one in Hialeah for $42.99, and happen to still have my receipt on me when I went to the Dadeland TRU on Monday, when I asked the store manager about that $49.99 price tag, he gave me the excuse of that's the price corporate sent him, then I showed him my receipt for the one I bought in Hialeah, and he gave me the excuse of "well...we're in a prime location, rents in Dadeland are higher".
The dadeland store is considered the number 1 store in our district. Partly its because they always have better stock than all the other stores, but they are not allowed to deny you a price match. In fact TRU's whole marketing strategy right now is to price match any competitor. my store is always empty but at least we will price match damn near anyone. The survey would burn him though since corporate does go over each one with a fine-toothed comb.
