(...) This afternoon at Target Bridgepointe (San Mateo, CA), I found several Advent calendars marked down to $11.90, a few 5978s at $26.90, and one 5533 at $29.90 No other Lego was marked down. Paul Sinasohn (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

West Michigan fared no better. The first Target I stopped at in Kalamazoo had 4 or 5 clearance sets left on the shelves. The second Target store had a bit more: a MindStorms Robotics Discovery Set (bought it even though I just got one before (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) The Target across the street from my apartment was the same way. The amazing this was that it was NOT clearence prices that emptied their shelves.

Kevin, My outlook on what you have observed... Over the last four months, I have visited a fair number of TRUs seeking old product. The store stock situation (with respect to Lego) varies widely. I believe that there are a number of contributing (...) (25 years ago, 27-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Of the three TRU stores that I frequent I have seen something this holiday season that I have never seen before. The supply of Lego in the store is way down. Almost no restocks on current sets [1] and the supply of 2000 sets is limited. [2] TRU (...) (25 years ago, 27-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
