One of my frustrations with Pick-A-Brick since the beginnig is the numerous parts which are dependent on other parts but the dependent part isn't available. Window frames but no glass or mullions. Tires but not wheels. I was at Tyson's last week and (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jan-06, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I ran around Rochester, NY yesterday and found very little compared to 2-4 years ago. Targets: $25 Durmstrang Ship (#4768, $50), only 2 of them at 1 Target (I got 1) $13 Battle Wagon (#8874, $20), only 1 between 2 Targets... $13 Duplo Purple Bucket (...)

(...) I was there with Steve as he stuffed the box full of LEGO®. He would yell out, I need more windows. :) And I would snag more birck from the wall. It was great trying to get as much brick in the box as possible. Deffently had to think outside (...) (21 years ago, 31-Dec-05, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Making more money / less in debt this year? You're not the only one I think. IIRC Jake mentioned that LEGO just didn't make enough sets. I think the shelves are bare because lots of people could finally afford to buy all the LEGO they passed (...) (21 years ago, 28-Dec-05, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Yeah, I'm guessing that everyone was tired of constantly putting LEGO on clearance, and finally ordered less this year. It is kind of strange that the shrinkage has been so consistent over different retailers. Or maybe TLC is paying for less (...) (21 years ago, 28-Dec-05, to lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)

(...) I can echo everyone else's sentiments. The 11 Targets I've been to have either been picked clean or had most of what you've all mentioned. In addition, most Racers sets and the 4096 tubs are on clearance as well. At one store, I found a few (...) (21 years ago, 28-Dec-05, to lugnet.market.shopping)
