This might be a stupid question, but as I've avoided TRU before I learned about TRUTH and coupons I'm curious to know.

Why are the Star Wars TFA sets not marked up like all other sets? Does TRU normally price the newest wave of sets at regular retail, or is this special?

Yes, in general - TRU new release sets are MSRP and get marked up later. Also, if your TRU is closer to a more populated urban area, you are more likely to see markups as well (In my experience).

Okay, that's what I was thinking. Thanks!

it could be that in a low margin high volume business that if you want to make money you decide not to keep flagship model stores in extremely high rent districts and make changes in order to focus on profits

The official word is that the rent effectively doubled since they signed the 15 year lease in 2001. I believe unofficially the rent more than doubled because they had gotten somewhat of a discount back in 2001 because they rented all 4 floors of a huge building. Even without TRUTH they couldn't survive that!
