(...) Unfortunately, when I was "home" (near A^2) this last winter, the inventories *were* low--Larry's leaving the area didn't do us as much good as we'd thought. On the positive side, NJ is pretty good--I got a huge haul of stuff at 90% off in (...) (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.mi.grr)

Hi, Pam! It seems like the West Michigan stores are (generally) running lower inventory on LEGO than they used to... And the sales aren't as good. If you happen to find one of the Shell promo sets #2536 (the Divers jetski), I'd definitely be (...) (26 years ago, 18-Feb-99, to lugnet.loc.us.mi.grr)

Reporting from Kalamazoo/Plainwell - there has is hardly any selection in any Target, Walmart, TRU, etc., new or older.

I found a small shelf of LEGO sets in the Lowell (MI) Rite-Aid the other day. The manager indicated they had been there awhile -- I must not have stopped by in a longer time than I thought.

Well, I haven't put up the sign yet, but I did buy a whole bunch of Lego sets at the Canton Super K when they were 20% off and more recently I bought some of the 25th ann. buckets to give to the kids when they get older.
