  Re: Robotics
 
(...) where did you get your set???? i've looked at all the TRU's around the plano/carrollton area and don't find it... probably going to have to go S@H, but i'd rather be able to bring it home right away! J (26 years ago, 31-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.dfw)
 
  King of the Hill
 
Howdy, I'm looking for fellow Mindstormers in the Houston, Texas area for sparing. Basicaly, I want to try a "king of the hill" type of competition. White circular field, black border (say black electrical tape), last robot inside the field wins. (...) (26 years ago, 28-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.hou)

  Re: Wal-Mart off of 183 (north central austin) has!!!!
 
(...) Well, they had them... :-) Both the 183/35 Wal-Mart and the 620 Super Wal-Mart have Speeder Bikes and Land Speeders. We (coworkers and I) bought 2 X-Wings, 1 Tie Fighter/Y-Wing, and 2 Snow Speeders, which they now appear to be out of. (...) (26 years ago, 15-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)
 
  Wal-Mart off of 183 (north central austin) has!!!!
 
I just checked it out 30 mins ago. They hadn't put the new lots of throwbots on the shelves and they had one shopping cart with 3 x wings and two Tie / Y wing sets. I picked up i xwing and one ywing. I think that they may have more that they had not (...) (26 years ago, 15-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)
 
  Checked 620 Wal-Mart, negative
 
I checked the 620 Super Wal-Mart today, no Star Wars sets. Since the Star Wars Lego ads appeared I always find people (kids and adults) in the Lego isle hunting for them. Looks like local Austin demand will be high. But.... My mom found the Speeder (...) (26 years ago, 15-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)
 
  Re: An organized search for Star War sets? -- none on south I-35
 
(...) I've found a few good buys there right after Christmas (some really cheap Wild West and polybags), they were hidden away in the toy clearance isle. I agree with you, tho, their selection sucks. :-) (26 years ago, 14-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)
 
  Re: Checked a few places, no Star Wars sets
 
(...) I checked the TRU at 183 and 620, negative. I called the Mopac/360 TRU, they said they didn't have them in yet (person on the phone seemed somewhat clueless, didn't think they were getting them in until after Episode 1). (26 years ago, 14-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)
 
  Re: RTLers Big Names
 
(...) The 4 new Throwbots are in the Wal-Mart stores now. (26 years ago, 14-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)

  No Star Wars at 35 TRU
 
I just checked the TRU on 35 and Cameron, no Star Wars there. (26 years ago, 12-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)

Anything new? Pat (26 years ago, 12-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)

  Re: An organized search for Star War sets?
 
(...) Oops, this is the 183 Target near Ohlen. I just checked it, no Star Wars. They did have: 6919 Planetary Prowler for $25 (URL) Spider's Secret for $12 (URL) ? in Arboretum (learning oriented toy store) Noodle Kidnoodle, no Star Wars (but around (...)

  Re: An organized search for Star War sets?
 
Sounds like we already have pretty much all of the potential lego sellers covered. I'll check the target on 183 near NI35 and the TRU on NI35 today. Pat (...) (26 years ago, 9-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)
 
  Re: An organized search for Star War sets? -- none on south I-35
 
Checked K-Mart, Target, and Wal-Mart on south I-35 today--no luck there. In fact, the south 35 K-Mart has an abysmal selection--I don't recommend bothering with it...ever! They only have smaller sets and not even many of those...and no empty shelf (...) (26 years ago, 8-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)
 
  An organized search for Star War sets?
 
Anyone want to divy up stores to check for Star Wars sets and post the results here? I'm planning on checking the NW stores every 3-4 days. I live in NW Austin so the following stores are easy for me to check: NW TRU NW Super Wal-Mart NW Target NW (...) (26 years ago, 8-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)
