Hmm.. some of the stores in Toronto will put items like that on clearance...
anywhere from 30-50% off. I picked up an 8277 for 30 something plus tax. The
packaging was opened... after going through all the pieces.. nothing was
missing.. except for the decal sheet. I wonder if the Zellar 15% off applys on
top of clearance.. if so I may have to go back and clean them out of 8277's
just for beams and widgets and stuff.
On a related note.. 8277 seems to be one of the *WORST* box designs for lego.
Almost every 8277 I've seen has been open and torn because of way the box
opens [flip open instead of opening the sides].
Regards,
Kurt

| (...) Yes it does. I grabbed some 3038's for $25.50 at the 15% off sale. Were marked $30. Dean (25 years ago, 18-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.ca)
