Sorry, I got the wrong source. Holiday shopping can get very confusing.
I bought the 8445 Indy Storm from toysmart.com with a $10 discount coupon I
found on flamingoworld.com :
"$10 off $20. Code: HC099910
$10 off $20. Code: AV079911"
for a net price of $21.95 with free shipping. I imagine that veteran LEGO
shoppers have already used up their "first-time" discounts, but they can be
great if you are new to the LEGO obsession. And the lugnet.db.inv is
invaluable for finding sets with good robotics parts.
