(...) Well, I checked the Chaddy Kmart last night, and they'd pulled all the UCS TIEs & Xwings they had last Friday. I hope this is only so they could set up a discount display.... ROSCO (22 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)

  Re: Attack of the star wars sales :)
 
Where does it say that there is 15% off at K-Mart? I went to mine today, and they had no idea what I was talking about! Can someone please point me to some information on this deal? Thanks! C (...) (22 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)

(...) In the USA, at least here in NJ, all SW LEGO is 20% off starting on the 28th. Yes, I know where I'll be on the 28th... best LFB (22 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.starwars)

It says it in Australia. Note that the post was to lugnet.loc.au. It confused me too, btw, but the "G-day" should'a been a tipoff. Rick Clark (...) (22 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Attack of the star wars sales :)
 
It was also xposted to lugnet.market.shopping and lugnet.general, which is a bit much, and why a lot of people on the top of the planet got confused. But yah, the "G-day" tipped me off too. I didn't know they have K-mart down under. FUT: (...) (22 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Attack of the star wars sales :)
 
(...) Cross posting to lugnet.general definitely was innapropriate in my book. Posting to .shopping is ok, but does highlight that we really should be clarifying where we believe the deal is (though it would also be helpfull for folks to recognize (...) (22 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.loc.au)

  Re: Attack of the star wars sales :)
 
Oops...sorry about that :) Actually, I've used a similar approach to what I've seen done in the past for sales at TARGET, KMART, and private sales: from US posters about US only sales. [though they don't have the courtesy to also post to .loc.us.]. (...) (22 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Attack of the star wars sales :)
 
(...) Yeah that's what I thought too... so much for the online-community thing... I thought we'd be a world as a whole... not just based in one particular dominated place, which I know why it is/would be... but still... It's like saying "this is a (...)

(...) Go South. Continue going South for a while and then go West. When you find a continent stop there and travel up or down the coast until you find a city. There ye shall find this mystical deal.

  Re: Attack of the star wars sales :)
 
(...) It's an australian deal. Kmarts in Oz are run by a different company (who apparently found the cachet of the Kmart brand irresistable ?? :-) ). So they have different sales than US Kmarts.

(...) Wait... You did this on purpose, not just by accident, but rather to "prove a point"?? Not sure that was a good idea. If you think there is change needed, there are channels to suggest it, which may be a better approach than deliberatley doing (...)

(...) Actually Target and K-Mart in Australia are currently not US chains, but are entirely Australian-owned (part of the Coles Myer group). Kerry (22 years ago, 28-Apr-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
