T.J. Maxx and Marshalls stores both carry "new" (unused but OLD) stuff that's marked "ToysRUs exclusive" (like the Ravager) AND stuff that's marked "Walmart exclusive" (big dart refill packs).

I think the original stores just load up trucks full of unsold merch and liquidate it to these other stores, who mark the clearance prices back UP and redistribute it to their own stores where they can sit on it for years.

I've chatted with some T.J.Maxx employees; some of them claim the prices are dictated by corporate overlords, but some have said that local managers may accept offers if you negotiate the price down on something that's been collecting dust... so, that's a possibility, but I haven't tried it yet.
