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 interested.  But that was from quite awhile
ago, promotional-set-wise (Huw has it listed as 1997), so it seems
unlikely.  Actually, I'd be interested in any of the sets from the
tiny-set promotion.

I'm going over to England in a few weeks if anyone wants anything - saw on
lugnet.loc.uk there are Easter Eggs available (though how these will travel
in my limited case space?!), hoping to find some soccer sets in some obscure
place!

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.

No outstanding prices or selection, just such an anomoly I figured I
should report it.  Actually, the prices aren't bad--I expected any LEGO
in Lowell would have to be overpriced.

The sets were all small ($10 and less).  There were UFO, Insectoids,
Res-Q and Town Jr.

I snagged the one 6596 Wave Master and the one 2151 Robo Raider.  Each
was priced at $8.00.  Oh, wait, that is a good price on two discontinued
sets (one very discontinued and 60% off MSRP).
