Interesting...This may cause a slight amount of difficulty to target next week.
Starting Saturday:
Hogwarts express $79.95, save $20
Sorting hat $9.95, save $2
Winged keys room $29.95, save $10
Others lego also on sale, but no blanket x% off, so probably only sets
listed in catalogue are on sale. [I'll post more if anyone is interested.]
