Bonnie, I didn't even know this store existed. So after reading your post I checked in my area and there's a Tuesday Morning about 3 miles away from my house. So this morning I headed over there... sad to say they didn't have any specials, they only had the "two pirates with cannon" set, the "two pirates with giant octopus" set (pm 5868), I got one of those... and the green racer (4183) and the orange racer (4182)... I guess I'll stop by later in the week to see what else they get. I made a run to TRU to see if their clearance princes had gone down or if they had received anything new... nope. Just bits and pieces left... nothing I really wanted (or nothing I already have).

If there are any other Tuesday Mornings close to you, it's worth it to check them out also. One of the TMs near me had hardly anything, and one down the road had loads of it. I have no idea why.

I didn't take pics this time, but Chris and I went to TRU today and bought the new made-in-china ambulance and schoolbus. I actually don't think they are all that bad. The quality didn't seem all that different to me, and there was one thing I actually like better than the usual sets -- the way they were packaged. Everything was packed securely, with the vehicles attached to their surrounding cardboard with twist ties, rather than everything banging around in the box. The ambulance, I just don't think looks as pretty as the standard one, but I have no real complaints against it, and the klickys with it are great. We'll be keeping both of them!

Ok, ok, I'll take pics! :lol:

@toyologist: well, with the schoolbus, almost. I wish it had two stop signs on the side, and that they felt of better quality. I wish the door opened in a more realistic way, or at least out instead of in. The emergency exit not opening, I can deal with. Also, it would be nice if there were a swing arm on the front like most buses have to keep kids from walking directly in front, as it could be used for teaching kids about safety. Other than that, i think the overall look and feel is not bad. The ambulance, I think looks cheap. But the pieces and klickys included are fine.

The ambulance will be painted. which will be very easy because it is put together by screws so taking it a part will be easy and putting it together will be to and no paint damage possible by trying to snap the tabs in place.
