(...) In my experience in Northern California, WMs are extremely unpredictable when it comes to discounting. I have seen or heard of a number of cases where a store will have a huge number of one set, but instead of marking them down they'll keep (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) They _can_ keep going down, and usually will. Not always in the organized, across-the-country fashion Target does, though. And no, the NFF will drop, I'd say, to $25 or less if given time. I got 6 or 8 6769's for $25 at WM. (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| | Wal-Mart Clearance Question + K-mart Question
|
|
Just out of experience ... Do Wal-Marts have a 2nd reduction phase, or will the prices tend to stay the same on all clearance items? Will the Ninja Flying Fortesses stay at $59.00 until all are sold? Also - the only SW sets at K-mart right now from (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) In the case of Target, I believe that 'clearance' pricing is generated by three corp parts: national, regional, & store. Most of the prior Target clearances seem to have been 'regional' (possibly suggested by national), with certain regions (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I called Lego S@H on thurs (1-6-00) during normal business hours and the sales person told me that the specials were discontinued on the 31st of December. Needless to say i was kinda surprised.

(...) Too late, I did the first--consolidated at a 2 set : 1 box rate among like items. It all fit, and I could even see out my back window and into my blind-spots.

This applies to Target only. Well maybe everyone else knew this... but at all the detroit area Targets, the shelf tags tell the tale. The "real" LEGO area has shelf tags. At this stage of the game, it seems that if a set had a shelf tag (either in (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Glad you scored! I too noticed the Pirates and Islanders stuff, but I'm not really in to those series, so I passed. My big score yesterday was mainly technic, plus I picked up the last 5561 they had for $60. I had been coveting this set for a while, (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
