I guess I'm lucky. My local TRU got all of the available studio and Mars sets currently available. No new Star Wars yet though. I like 7314. It looks good, has a nice selection of pieces, and was fun to put together. I'll probably get 7313 next, (...) (24 years ago, 20-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)

Here it is nearly three days after the original post and Walmart still has the $24.97 price listed. I'm beginning to think Walmart doesn't mind at all blowing these droid sets out at that price.

I found about a dozen 7151 (243 parts) Sith Infiltraitor sets at my local Wal Mart for $12.00 each, all were on the top shelf, buried under new product.

The photos on the back of the manual are mock-ups and NOT the final boxes (the box with ?? pcs is a big hint). The piece counts are not accurate. I bought 7314 tonight and it has 194 pieces (according to the box). Two of those pieces were an extra (...) (24 years ago, 19-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)
