Don't worry if you missed those 99p 7101s, just go to John Lewis instead.
Was looking for some baby toys in Kingston on Friday and noticed the set on the
shelf, presumably Never Knowingly Undersold....

I bought five, left three, even though I hate the set.  No Naboo Fighters
though, s'pose they were out of stock.  Gungan Subs were £33 if anyone's
interested.

Back to Argos, I happened on an unusually helpful shop assistant who did a
search on the main computer, finding six 7101s in Daventry, the odd 7171 and,
incredibly, there are even some 8448s abandoned around the country.  Probably
crashed with TWOC spray painted over the box.

LMK if you want to know more about the computer search.

Anyone investigated TK Maxx, the clothes discounter?  My fashion conscious SO
regularly drags me around, one day I actually had a look at the shelves to
discover Lego (and Playmobil) sets from over five years ago!  Unfortunately, it
is very hit and miss, so check regularly if there is one near you.

Finally, anyone get those Lego choc chip cookie tins with 4 different the mini
sets at Christmas?  Well, they had some more in at my local Tesco buy one, get
one free.  I now have 2.1Kg of cookies to eat.  Need any light snacks at the
minifest, Huw?
