Ras,
That is so true because from my experience, the REI sales are the best! I chose my town partly because it was the site of the first NC store of REI. Maybe we could talk them into carrying the PM adventure and sports sets, pool and beach stuff, and campers and other outdoor sets. At least we would get a nice dividend check when they aren't on sale.
And their members buy a lot of gear for their children, so we know that the target markets shop in REI stores. Should we get the "committee" to add this to their list of ideas? Pgal 
Never thought of them carrying playmobil, a lot of the clients would be the same
It would make sense but unfortunately our REI is next door to TRU
You actually camp outside? 
Wow. That must be some sale. I guess I would camp outside for a really great playmobil sale! 
Silly isn't it? I have camped out for this sale many times and every time I get things very cheep. I would never pay full retail for $100 shoes but at $10 I take 1/2 dozen. The sale gets crazy with people shoving and grabbing as fast as they can.
If this was playmobil I would get all my friends in line to help me shovel it into shopping bags before anybody, even kids, had a chance to get anything
