First saw these online, then stopped in and saw the same deals at my local
store (check for a clearance section separate from the usual Lego shelves-- at
my store, the clearance Lego was all the way on the other side of the store).

XTreme Tower -- 50% off, $25.

some Adventurers dino sets still, because they had never been marked down
before.
They also started carrying action figures for the first time this last summer
(Spidey, Star Wars, etc.) so it seems this is Not Your Mother's ZB anymore (not
surprising, given the recent corporate upheavals).
