No, this isn't a "seen it!" notice. :( I haven't been able to catch my friendly local TRU employee since the weekend, so no more actual numbers, but there is some news.. The TRU employee I talked to last night was utterly clueless, and couldn't even (...) (26 years ago, 11-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.starwars)

Not that it means much now, but I picked up the last 2 landspeeders at Zainy Brainy at Easton on Sunday. It was the only SW left, and the nice lady at the counter said that all of the stock was sold in about an hour. Good luck to all who seek SW! (...)

Yea! There's a brand new Kohls opening in my town (1), wouldn't it be nice if they had the SW stuff? Julie Target opened last week, and TRU in a few weeks. I'm hoping for some big clearance sales after all the newness wares off. (...) (26 years ago, 11-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Kohl's latest flyer for Friday March 12 - Saturday March 20 says all LEGO building sets are 20% off. Additionally, if you're a Kohl's charge holder, your in-home flyer will give you an _additional_ 10-30% off all regular and sale priced merchandise (...)

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 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)

But it *should* matter to the seller. If it turns out that large-volume buyers are (...) (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Well, they certainly seem week, but I wonder how much of that is due to the fact that most of the sets they have to clear out are weak? I bought a ton of 6078 Royal Drawbridges last year, in addition to a ton of 6046 Hemlock Strongholds. I (...) (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
