(...) It's not quite Pittsburgh, but the Super WalMart in Belle Vernon had a bunch of: (URL) on sale for $15.00. I didn't pick any up, but there were about 8 or 10 of them. There were a few other minor mark-downs, but nothing worth getting excited (...) (26 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.us.pa.pit)

(...) I've only been able to check the one in the South Hills. They also have several of each UCS kit and the Falcon in stock, as well as the Soccer and Dino sets. No dazzling deals, but cool to look at. Dave! (26 years ago, 3-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.loc.us.pa.pit)

The KB in the South Hills has about a dozen Oasis Ambush Sets (URL) $4.99; I've already bought my fill, so the rest are up for grabs! In addition, the TRU down there has the UCS sets as well as the Millenium Falcon. They've had the new EP1 stuff for (...) (26 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.pa.pit)

I didn’t try speaking with the salesperson, who on previous visits has been rather unhelpful, but I suppose it’s possible that they might have something in the back room. On the (...)

(...) I first heard of it just before I left, maybe summer '98. I think it's still going on, but I'm not sure of the details. I think it is supposed to be downtown somewhere near 5th.

(...) I'm not sure. I haven't heard much about it. I'm not sure Pittsburgh is big enough that those places would want a restaurant here, but I could be wrong. When were they considering coming here?

If not, I guess something you may not know is that Hills (now Ames) and K-Mart were the dominant discount stores. Actually, the Target & Wal-Mart in the Robinson (...)
