    Hi all- Robert M. Dye found, back in late December: (...) It's time to start combing Wal-Marts again; they're clearing things out with alacrity. While Princeton's was just on "normal" half-price schedule, having one of the 6479 Res-Q base ($35), (...) (26 years ago, 7-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

       (...) Not just you. One thing I do every time is try to find a damaged box, even if it's just a tear in the box or a dent or something, then ask the department manager if there's a discount on damaged boxes. I've only ever been told "no" once. (...) (26 years ago, 9-Feb-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

      (...) You're lucky. I've gotten a damaged box (pretty severely, too), with instructions missing, of a set that should have been put on special to sell out a few years ago when it weas discontinued, for 100 instead of 115. That's the best I've done. (...) (26 years ago, 9-Feb-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

       (...) The buckets with 1x bricks were here in Vancouver before Xmas: I got one just after Xmas for 50% off because it had been opened (was probably a return) but I haven't seen one since. I'm hoping that when they get another Lego shipment with the (...) (26 years ago, 10-Feb-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

       (...) In Montreal aera is the same thing NO MORE bucket. I don't know if it's because TLG made less bucket last years (limited edition) or poeple bought more because it was supposed to be limited edition (I bought quite a few myself). Just hope that (...)

   (...) That's cause they can. If sets haven't sold after they're discontinued for 4 or 5 years is plenty of time to think about discounts, and by then they're snapped up to resell to Americans... viz. the recent rash of 8880's from my country, the (...)
