(...) This actually is normal for Target and some other retailers, selection expands for the Christmas/Holiday Season then shrinks the rest of the year, numerous sets disappear for the warmer months (ya I know how cold it is outside ATM :^) Then (...)

(...) It's funny, one local Target (Fairfield, California) had the 5978's at $15.74 also. Yours was the only other one I heard of that did that (I remember when you posted about it). I also bought several. I have found some real finds (e.g., (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) The last (and one of the few - maybe 1 or 2) time I did this was a couple months ago when I was late for dinner with some friends and remembered that one of their daughters had a birthday the next day.

(...) It must be nice to live in an area which gets much clearance at all. If I waited for 50% off sales or better, my collection would be pretty small, and would have very weird gaps. I buy most of my sets at 25% off (K-Mart BOG 50% sales - which (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Last weekend I went to the K-Mart I rarely visit and scored a hovercraft (8824) and a planetary decoder (6856) The boxes were pretty worn, although the 6856 was still sealed and the 8824 had a seal that was open. Not broke, the adhesive just let go. (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I had these thoughts as I went out to Target yesterday to eat the dead things on the bottom of the fish tank. Target in Queens, NY is New-York-speed. Nothing gets to stay around too long.

(...) Do the Droid Developer Set's count ? WM has them at $24.97 (regular price) even tho they used to be $99 elsewhere. I'm scanning back thru my inventory now.

The only time I ever pay full price for LEGO is when I order something through S@H that I know I cannot get anywhere else (or if I buy something that you can't get anymore from a private party).
