| | Question on jumping bots
|

Howdy, Can anybody who's been involved in Lego groups in Austin since the early 90's shed any light on the "spring turkeys" that Jim mentions in this posting? (URL) would really appreciate hearing about these jumping robots. Any pics, DATs, or (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)

Well, no $10 off card for me, but the store nearby did have a 25% off LEGO sale. The only sets I saw above MSRP were some of the smaller $3-6 dollar sets such as the young dinos and the HP Sorting Hat (currently the only store to stock that and (...)

"Steve Demlow" <demlow@visi.com> wrote in message news:GKnA2M.JsI@lugnet.com... (...) Also, because of the higher than MSRP, they often have older stock languishing on their shelves. I've been able to grab a few older sets at good prices once they (...) (25 years ago, 4-Oct-01, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)

(...) Last Saturday they had a 25% off Lego sale and had many of the new Harry Potter sets in stock. They were 6-10% above MSRP, but at 25% off that's still not bad. Their Lego prices are sometimes MSRP, sometimes above, but they do have 20-40% off (...) (25 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)

I got a $10 off (minimum $10 purchase) card in the mail yesterday, corresponding with the Kohl's openings in Austin, Round Rock, and Cedar Park, Texas. It's been a while since I've visited them, but I can't turn down free. If I remember correctly, (...) (25 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)

I live in north Austin, up 183 near Oak Knoll. There is a Costco under construction on 183 between Braker and Duval. The one I visited was in Southlake, though, a DFW suburb. (Visiting family last weekend.) They were giving away 1 year memberships (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)
