(...) I plan to visit the local Target the next few days to check the 4561 Railway Express as often as possible for a 50% or 70% discount. I bought one at 65$ plus shipping last summer and was satisfied with the purchase at that cost. If the cost (...) (23 years ago, 29-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

KBtoys (stores, not online) has a 3 for $10 for Droid Fighter (7111) even though the boxes are marked $4.99. If you buy just one, the price is $3.34. I found quite a few (probably 1.5 dozen or so) at the store in NewPark Mall (Fremont, CA). I only (...) (23 years ago, 29-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Well I hoped that other people in the US would want to know that Target is selling sets like the RIS 2.0 at 30% off. I have never seen the RIS 2.0 that low before. Target has stores all over the US and all stores are having the same sale. The (...) (23 years ago, 29-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.market.shopping)

I've called all of the Best Buy stores in the Bay Area, and a couple in Pennsylvania in the hopes that my brother-in-law could pick it up for me. But all of them are all sold out of Lego Mindstorms.

My local Target (Mountain View) still has many Lego sets on 30%-off clearance. But be careful - many sets are still full price.
