The Toys R Us on Winchester had two new dino sets: 5921, a small hang-glider with a pterodactyl, and a larger set with a stegosaur, baby tyrannosaur, and triceratops. ("Dino Trapping" was the name, I think). They also had three soccer sets: the (...) (25 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

It was pretty much the same story at the Palo Alto Fry's. I saw at least 50 RDSs. They rang up at $69.99, but the boxes and the shelves still said $149.99. Since the boxes had been opened (who? why?) I appreciated having Paul's inventory. I counted (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

I'm sorry, Eric - I didn't get in to the TRU until late Friday night. I would sell the Znap to you at the $22.50 + tax cost by way of apology, if you want. Paul Sinasohn bearitone@my-deja.com (25 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
