Hi all,
Stopped by the Knoxville Walmart this morning. I have a bit of a story to
tell...
I've been watching a pile of MTT's ever since Walmart started clearancing
things. Until today, none of them moved. They were priced at $30. I
walked in this morning to check on them, and the toy section people were
putting all the clearance items on rolling racks. I asked what they were
going to do with them (for fear they were sending them back to a warehouse
or something), and found out that in 5 minutes, they would be clearancing
everything even further.
After wading thru a slew of "clearance moms", I got my hands on:
3 MTT's for $15.
1 Watto's Junkyard for $15.
1 Excavation Searcher for $15.
1 T-Rex Transport for $15.
So if any of you local fellas want to give it a try, there was still several
MTT's, a whole ton of soccer stuff, Adventurers Dino sets, and some other
goodies. For those who don't know, Walmart is just off 92/5 on 14.

Hi all,
Watching my local news this morning (WHOTV, Channel 13 for you local guys)
and saw a bit on 6th grade students from around the state going to ISU in
Ames and competing in a Mindstorms competition. Each team had to build
robots to accomplish certain tasks, such as dumping bricks into containers,
shooting baskets, and rescuing "scientists" (Arctic figs).

My local ShopKo (Burlington, IA) has the soccer bus marked down to
$3 each. I bought five. :-)
You may want to check a store near you.

Thanks!
I'm glad to hear they haven't vanished yet. I used to live in Corvallis, a few
minutes from Albany, but unfortunately it's about 2000 miles from me here in
Southeastern Iowa.
