Well, I'm not from around there :^) Kohl's is a Wisconsin based mid
priced discounter/departmnet store. I'm from one of the suburbs of
MPLS/St Paul in MN. I started into this thread with thru the web
based interface and the recent posts feature. So unfortunately I have
no idea if they have stores in your area :^( We do not have
McFrugals around here so overall it probably evens out :^) Watch the
Target ads around christmas day and thereafter for a bit, also you
wind up kinda having to haunt the Targets popping in and out looking
to see if it has started, if you have a buddy or three to help you
watch for the start of the good markdowns it helps. it wouldn't be
necessary for them to be AFOL's, the toys tend to hit markdowns at
the same time, so someone looking for say... dolls can see that the
toys are cheaper and can call you to let you know. I have noticed
that it goes very quickly once it goes and the people that have
flexible jobs or no jobs have an advantage here, they can check and
wipe out the stocks before you even find out, so if there is something
you just have to have and its just on a small mark down, unless there
are many of them, you just might want to get it even though it is not
that cheap, otherwise you might not get it at all. Just a thought.
Happy building.
Mike
