Reporting from Kalamazoo/Plainwell - there has is hardly any selection in
any Target, Walmart, TRU, etc., new or older.  And the only good sale was a
few weeks ago in Walmart the 5978, Adventurers Sphinx Secret Surprise, was
on clearance at $35.00 - there were about 10 and I went back 2 days later

I snagged the one 6596 Wave Master and the one 2151 Robo Raider.  Each

sets (one very discontinued and 60% off MSRP).
