Today I found the Stormtrooper and C3P0 technic as well as the BOSS Roborider. Picked up the BOSS at Wal-Mart for $19.82 (what is with Wally World's prices?). They had the 'trooper and 3P0 also, but I couldn't pay $34.99 and $29.99 respectively. (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Ha! I have the greatest discount story of all :-)! I was shopping at TRU two years ago, looking for some Outback sets. Hidden behind some other small sets, I found an 6538 Rebel Roadster. It is a set from 1994, so I was happy when I found it (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| | Not looking good for eToys...
|
|
Trade press is reporting that eToys has said they are going to run out of cash sometime in March or so barring another funding round or a white knight. And with Amazon allying with TRU on the toy front, there's not too much hope of a ecommerce white (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.shopping) !

I got <set:3038 Spider Slayer> for $19.98 (Canada, about $14 US) but it was opened. Oh well, seems like all of the parts were there. The fact that the motor hadn't been stolen seems like a big hint that nothing was. It's a pretty good cheap (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| | FOTW; Greatest Lego Discout Ever ?
|
|
Ok...It really isn't a find of the week, but while shopping all the K-Marts in Houston, I ran across two really interesting items. One was a 5918 Scorpion Tracker for $.25. Not the greatest of sets, but at 93.75% off, a really good deal. After (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

There has been a fair amount of discussion about these sets in the year/2001 newsgroup. I think there might be some links to some scans too. (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Confirming that Toy 'R Us had a whole new shipment of these. (I broke down, bought 4) Inside the boxes are pictures of a 4 panel poster that can be made from getting all of the sets. 7300/7308 7301/7309 7302 7303 The nicest thing I thought was that (...)

| | Re: When Does Toys-R-Us set up their clearance tables?
|
|
My TRU (in Downers Grove, IL) has a table like that up all the time. Last weekend I noticed they had 4 of the new 7316 Life on Mars sets marked down to 39.99 and they were barely beat up at all. I've picked up a few sets this way; most were missing (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| | UK Slizers, Roboriders
|
|
Anyone willing to pick up a complete set of UK Slizers, and Roboriders. I think that the UK and AUS markets get the same sets (correct me if I am wrong) So, if someone can do this a knows where Guam is, I got $$$ for them. Drop me a line if you can (...)
