 | | A day of shopping
|
|
Today I did one of my 'grand tour's of shopping. Six WalMarts, six K-Marts, one Target and one BestBuy (which was picked clean). Add to that three K-Marts, a Target and a WalMart I checked the day before Christmas. One thing that stood out was the (...) (23 years ago, 30-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Hi, today I went to K-Mart and I found alot of sets, but it didn't seem like any were on sale "Blue Light Savings". Most of them were selling for what they normally retail. Here's a few sets I saw there- SW 7151 Sith Infiltrator- $32 SW AT-ST w/ (...) (23 years ago, 30-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Unfortunately I am not able to be much help with this topic. I went to the Target by my house to return the toy. They gave me full credit for the toy. So I went back by the toys to see if they were on clearance and they were not. So the two Targets (...) (23 years ago, 29-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

|
|
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. If you have a Best Buy in your area that still (...) (23 years ago, 28-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

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