'Fess up, Doug.  Did you take all 10 of the 4561's that were at $78 for
weeks and weeks and weeks at the Galleria Target, the morning they went
to $32.44?

'Twasn't me. I didn't even know they had any. Seen any Mindstorm stuff
discounted around here? I ran by the Target out I-10 East at lunch today
(more on that below) and it was all still full price. What's up with that?

BTW, Don't bother going to the Target in Baytown.  I obliged the
inventory crew by helping them clear all the old sets out.  ;-)

I've made some good scores in Baytown in the past but haven't driven
out that far in ages. Got some good stuff, I take it?

There is currently a Mos Espa Podrace set at the aforementioned Target.
I'd bought it for $54 a couple weeks ago but later found another for
$23, followed by a couple more at Walmart for $10 (heh heh). And did you
know that location is closing? As of tomorrow at 2 p.m.  Can anyone
confirm that Target does not typically have clearance sales when
shutting down a store? Twice in the past I've tried to go to a Target
only to discover it had mysteriously shut down since the last time
I was there. The one on I-10 is about half empty now but nothing is
on sale except the usual clearance stuff. I guess they ship it all
to other stores? Where's the fun in that?

(...) I got a DDK for $25 in Baytown on Tuesday. It was the only one they had. That's the only Mindstorms stuff I've seen on clearance. (...) It's really only 30 minutes from downtown. It just seems like it's way out there. 1x 9748 DDK @ $25 2x 5988 (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.hou)
