Wow....Wow....Wow.  All SW LEGO at 50% off (except the stuff already
marked down, that was 75% off total).

Jean-Marc was kind enough to give me a ride to the only TRU in the
province this evening.  The first time I've shopped with another AFOL.
Good thing he has a truck!  I got two Yodas, a Rebel Blockade Runner,
one each of the SW technic figures (R2, C3PO, Darth Vader, Jango Fett,
Super Battle Droid) I didn't have, plus a few smaller sets, to bring it
up to five free buckets worth for me.  $372.65 plus tax for 9013 pieces,
that would have cost over $1k at full retail.

Gail you forgot to mention that by splitting the bills every $50 you got 5 free
500 pieces buckets...

Thanks to my wife who read the heads-up message, she "draged" me to the TRU (I
didn't resist too much though...  ;~))
I got 7 free 500 pieces buckets. I had to stop because the shopping cart was
full and my wife starting to make strange looks toward me. When I see these
eyes, I know I need to stop. The credit card was making strange sound as well...
There was even the AT-TE 4482 at Half off but none one the shelves (even b4 we
arrived!)

I also talked to one of the staff about trains.  His computer showed the
new high speed (4511 $129.99) and cargo trains (4512 $189.99), as well
as the grand central station (4513 $69.99)as being shipped to or
from(not sure) their main Canadian warehouse on June 11.

Still a fair amount on the shelf at the TRU in Dartmouth, but no mini
sets, and the blockade runner boxes are pretty tattered.

Wow....

(...) You don't need to split them! The system automatically allows for it, at least at the TRUs in Toronto. (...) If someone would like to sell/trade me four of the long grey slope wedges from this set, I would really appreciate it. I got: 7153 (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jun-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)

Gail and Jean-Marc Thanks for not going too crazy at the Mic Mac TRU. I did my part today by picking up 4 Yodas as well as an assortment of smaller SW sets. The Creator buckets are almost gone though. John Battcock (21 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)
