Hi!

What are you guys buying?

I bought very little, but still managed to get exactly what I went in for.

I picked up two copies of this bucket:

http://guide.lugnet.com/set/4028

Initially I could only find one, but after some hunting about I spotted another
one on the MegaBloks side of the asile and grabbed it.

So that officially became the 1000 cheapest pieces I've ever bought.  $7.49 per
bucket before tax.  How can you beat that?  So while I didn't buy a ton of stuff
I went home happy.

I went to three Zellers stores and I just can't
seem to find much that interests me.  I spent a couple of hundred bucks but
a good portion of that was for potential Christmas presents for my son.

At least at the Zellers here, the problem is that they're still sitting on a lot
of old stock.  Stuff that didn't sell well at full price and still isn't selling
well even after some of the other markdowns.  There were Yodas available at the
store here, which I guess after the 50% off would have made them only $40 each.
But I'm not sure what I'd do with any more of those sand green plates.  :)

This is indeed a CRAZY sale.

And for some reason (at least here in Stratford) an unadvertised one.

I checked the flyer that came in our local paper - nothing mentioned there.  I
checked all around the LEGO aisle and could see no signs or anything indicating
there was a sale on.  Yet the scanner clearly marked these items as 'Sale' when
you checked the price.

We discovered this just last night in Ottawa,
and we spent about $1500 last night. At one store.
Today everyone was running all over town, hitting every Zellers in sight.
I shudder to think of how much money has been shelled out today.
CRAZY indeed. Play well.

Indeed.  Fun to see this kind of blowout sale now and then.

Gail, thanks for the heads-up on this sale.

Best regards,
Allan B.
