Saw ONE person out of the horde (150+?) that was crowding the front of the store who seemed to only be interested in Lego (...) (25 years ago, 3-May-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I know it was released to Wal*Mart for a special promotion, but (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Interesting - the Kroger grocery store around the corner from my house has had some LEGO sets in the cereal aisle (of all places) for a couple of months. They had a bi-wing blaster, an insectoid set, and a small Ninja set. When I first saw them I (...) (25 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

Just bought my Star Wars sets from eToys, no sales tax and only $7 shipping, so if you spend over $70 it's cheaper than Shop @ Home, especially if you buy the entire Star Wars line in one go ;) Matt (25 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
