Deja Vu in Big Lots

[Razor17019]

So, today I am out on my lunch hour getting some last minute things done before I go on vacation. I am heading to the Post Office and decide to stop at Big Lots to see if they have anything. I am in the toy area and look up on the shelf to see a bunch of Golden Compass miniture cars, action figures and the big double balloon vehicle.

Okay, I just recently got these items at TRU for: Minature cars: 2.00, Figures:2.98 each, and the big double balloon vehicle: 3.98

I take a look at the Big Lot prices: Minature cars: 6.00, Figures: 4.00 each, and the big double balloon vehicle: 15.00

It's interesting to see items come out like this and go from BRAND NEW ITEM at FULL RETAIL price (I am sure the ballon thing was like 29.99 when first released) sit on the shelf until clearanced to nearly nothing (Mutt Williams your day is COMING! ) and then end up in the secondary markets for near half it original retail cost and the process starts again until it's sold...
If this movie had done better, you would have seen this stuff going for a pretty penny on Ebay.
Capitalism! You gotta love it.

I saw it at tru for $7 for the big balloon.

TRUs down here are void of all the GC figures except the bears at a couple stores. I also saw a couple of the compasses at my local TRU, but the figures are gone, I bought a bunch of them mostly for the accesories, like the goggles and guns. I've used a few heads, but the rest of the figures(Human) will end up as civillians on the battlefield
