Hi all, At my folks' local WalMart (Knoxville, IA) today - they were having a "lunch hour special" in the toy dept. Everything that was clearance marked was half off it's tag price. So I grabbed a cart and rushed over. :-) I managed to snag a (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I went to two of my local walmarts today and both seemed to have gone to the next level of clearance (approx. 50%). Of interest to me were Troll on the Loose for $5 and the 7200/7201/7203/7204 series of Star Wars sets for $3. At one store the (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)

You know there was a time, not too long ago when I could reasonably expect to buy about $3-5,000 in clearance Lego from Target without much effort. It's impossible to do that these days, I'm guessing because of increased awareness of the clearance. (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)
