Hi Jack....I will do that... and will take the kids too...I think there would be no question for me, as I simply can't stand to go where there are so many crowds of people, and where one has a hard time finding ANY clerk, let alone one who knows what they are talking about..... I will take the kids in the next month or so and see what they think.... BUT then....since usually WE adults are the ones who do the buying, and who do the driving...seems as if things are more in our hands.... Re prices....I did find last night that all the Lego (including motorized, and the new types) were all 20% off....and the big building toy (can't remember the name, but a super dooper tinker-toy-like set including a motor!!...usually $100, was 50% off last night....seemed like a good deal to me...) The other thing that was interesting was that most of the toys there actually were for kids to play with while using their brain at the same time (proactive)....not just computer games or prebuilt motorized cars, etc... (reactive)... It is interesting to me again, that this is the FIRST retail anything that I have seen that I would consider owning stock in.....With the exception of Costco, and that is more wholesale... I am a recruiter by profession, and know just how hard it is to find good employees for companies, and in particular ones for retail that normally don't pay very high salaries....That's why the visit last night was such a refreshing change for me....I actually found somene who knew something about the products, and wasn't just trying to sell me any old thing....It will be interesting to watch this company!!
