Finally! I was at Wal-Mart (my favourite one, in Edison Twp) this evening to buy a headlamp for my car, and I saw a few of the Y2000 sets--the 7180 B-Wing and the 8001 Battle Droid (Technic).

I hadn't been to the local Zany Brainy store here in Madison for a couple of months now, so I walked in kinda hoping that there *wouldn't* be any great sales going on -- you don't WANT to know how much I've spent on LEGO lately -- but no such luck, (...)

(...) Are you sure you're not thinking of the Cascade Meijer, at 28th Street and I-96, instead of the 28th & Kalamazoo Meijer? The K-zoo Meijer is an older store, and while it isn't a *bad* store, it's certainly not going to win any awards. Steve (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
