 | | Star Wars hits Columbus, OH Meijer stores!

I knew it was only a matter of days since our Michigan neighbors to the North got them late last week. Sure enough, Sawmill Rd and Hilliard Rome Meijers got their first shipment today - and I was fortunate enough to make to both store before they (...)

A good idea might be to post to the regonal newsgroups when someone spots the availibility of the Star Wars sets in that respective location (in any store)... PS: So if someone discovers that they have arrived in the Seattle-area, let me know!!!! :) (...) (26 years ago, 11-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| | Kohl's - some at 25% off
|
|
Kohl's is running one of their on-again, off-again sales. One store had no Lego on sale, another had 3 of the medium SPACE sets and some PRIMO at 25% off. Kohl's seems to be a bit confused week by week as to what's on sale. If their weekly flyer (...) (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) eBay. <clip> My guess would be that, based on the scarcity of these sets in the stores, and back orders at S@H, these sellers may not even have them in hand yet to reship to the high bidder, unless these scalpers were some of the first to (...)

(...) Considering that this is only the third week that we have gotten specials in Canada, and they seem to only have two sets available at any one time, I think we Canucks can still be jealous of S@H US. I figure S@H Canada is still working the (...) (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) What actually happens is that the scalper saves his receipt and if he can't sell for a profit, they will just return the item to the original store (from my experience of the rec.toys.scalper - i mean .misc group). (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I just got back from Boscov's, a Philadelphia area mall department store. They are having a 20% off sale. The sale includes all Legos/Duplos. The store I went to did have the 1999 Space Center sets too. But no Star Wars. I don't know how long the (...) (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) It's my suspicion that S@H Canada is doing two things: 1: testing the weekly special for feasability, and 2: dumping warehouse overstock. I wouldn't be too surprised if they have a list of x items they want to get rid of, and when that list is (...) (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
