Since LUGNET's Brickwise™ online shopping guide hasn't been current for some time I thought I'd try posting my own Smart Shopper reports. I plan to feature a store or group of stores and will generally only list items that are at 25% off or greater (...) (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.announce)

(...) I was able to get a raincheck today. The clerk asked me how many I wanted the raincheck to be, I told her 3 and she said ok. I did have to make sure she put 'Lego Jango Fett Slave 1 set' on it though ;) Mark P. (URL) lugnet.market.shopping (22 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.market.shopping)

I've just returned from making the rounds to a couple local (Cleveland, Ohio) Target stores. They are still selling the sets at this price, and don't seem to be making any effort to correct the ad. As a matter of fact, they had both the Slave One (...) (22 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I got it with no problems at all last night. The sale signs were posted, there were 5 left on the shelf, I grabbed 2 of them and there was no problem. The checkout girl even said that it was a great deal. After she finished ringing me up I (...) (22 years ago, 20-May-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.market.shopping)

Actually, it does. All ads state that the store is not responsible for errors. Many stores print corrections when their ads are wrong. (...) (22 years ago, 20-May-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I love mistakes like this. It's the danger of having such an enormous operation--if you don't check your Ts and Is to make sure they're crossed and dotted, you've only got yourself to blame when customers come in for the sale! (Heck, even the (...) (22 years ago, 20-May-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) This was a mistake by Target; it was supposed to be 8011 Jango Fett for $24.88. My local Target has already changed the display to indicate that 8011 is on sale instead of 7153, but they didn't change it in their computer yet. John (22 years ago, 19-May-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) If you take the ad elsewhere to get the price matched, you may want to go early in the week before Target runs out. My local TRU called to verify that they had them in stock and that the ad wasn't a mistake. Add that to the hassle of using (...) (22 years ago, 19-May-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Thanks for the heads-up--I just popped out and indeed, here in NJ, they *are* $24.88 apiece. I picked up two. Better hurry and get yours! (Or alternately, take that ad down to your local retailer and get it matched...?) LFB (22 years ago, 19-May-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Sorry, There isn't a store there. I went in March. I can't remember if there were tours or not, but I'm pretty sure they stopped doing them. The only things to see down there, are the sculptures in the front lawn and a day care that has large lego (...)

(...) On the hunch, I went to my NJ Ames; the sale appears to be chainwide. I got a bunch of great stuff! Alas, none of the really great sets I wanted were there, and the grandstands for $5.94 were NOT on sale (a "special buy"). LFB (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

And no, they don't do public tours :( [though it has been a long standing (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.ct, lugnet.org.us.nelug)
