You may want to check Target again ASAP because it looks like they've
reduced what's left of their clearance toys even more.  For instance,
Mos Espa was down to $22.44 and Rock Raiders HQ was $19.74 (plus I had
the $8.00 coupon from the Mania magazine on that one!).  I had the best
luck at a Target that didn't put those orange stickers all over the
boxes-- people didn't bother to scan Lego's to see if they were reduced.

Thanks for the heads-up, Maggie--I was in Lansing, MI on Wednesday and I
looked around at all three area Targets and found one Droid Fighter.  That's
all.  However, when I scanned it, it was $1.44, and my heart leapt (wow, all
this for LEGO)--so I decided to get up with the crows this morning and head
to my "secret" well-stocked stores in the Detroit area.  And boy, did I hit
the motherlode--I spent almost $400, and left more than I took because I
have to drive my compact car back from MI to NJ with all of this *and* my
luggage *and* my Christmas gifts.  Egad.  The highlights included a dozen
Sith Infiltrators for $7.44 each, two Mos Espa podracer sets, a few Gungan
Subs, and a total of sixteen Samurai Strongholds for $3.74 apiece--all of
which I didn't even come *close* to clearing out.  After missing last year's
Target clearance bonanza entirely because of responsible NJ stocking habits,
this year feels very, very good.  Grey plates!  Grey plates!

I'll post the locations (yes, plural) tomorrow evening, because a part of me
is thinking of going back and trying somehow to squeeze some more Sith
Infiltrators into my car.  But after tomorrow morning, when I leave to
return to New Jersey, it'll be moot and therefore open season.

best wishes

Lindsay

(...) Suggestion, de-box them for shipment :) Or, just go to the post office, and mail them to your new addy :) James P (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.mi.det)
