no prob. If I don't get a set, I figure why not post the deal and let
another AFOL get if they want.

yeah... that KB ++sucks++! I have never found anything resembling a deal
there. In contrast, I found a ton of deals at the downtown KB at Grand ave
last year. It has always surprised me at the diffference between stores of
the same chain just because of location, management, or whatever...

I have found that a specific series of stores have the types of deals I like
on a regular basis, and so I like to check them more than the others. I
have found that on the occasions where I go way outside my normal hunting
grounds I will find an amazing deal like Fire Department for $12, Technic
Droideka for $12, or Podracer Value pack for $9.50... but those are rare.
speaking of the Technic Droideka for $12... the K Mart in New Berlin on
Moorland and National has about 4 or 5 of these as of yesterday. The
packages are all marked at $40, but they scan at $12. I don't like this set
enough to get that many of them, but it's a good deal... so if anyone wants
one I bet they still have em.

sure thing. As soon as anything solid is planned, I will be posting with
the info. It should be a few weeks at least.
cheers!

| (...) I can tell you I cleaned out the K-mart in Oconomowoc today, got 5 Gungan Patrols for 2.50 each. They didn't have anything else left, and like you, I had to scan them to find out they were on clearance. Nothing marking them at all, and still (...)
