Did anyone else see an AP newswire photo on the day before Thanksgiving
of some guy in Oregon wheeling a Target cart stacked with what looked
like about 12 Falcons? The article was simply about Target's marketing
and holiday prospects in comparison to other retailers, but the picture
had special meaning for folks like us.
Oh cool, the photo's available online!

BTW, I bought one Falcon early, and one store I visited on Friday said
that they don't price match special event prices. I physically brought
the set back to a store on Saturday, and they matched the price no
problem. Anyone else have trouble getting the difference refunded?

| Got to my local target this morning and the store was packed. The lego section looked like it had been hit by a hurricane. I am so glad that earlier in the week I bought my Falcons. Went to the customer service desk and they were happy to refund the (...) (19 years ago, 25-Nov-05, to lugnet.market.shopping)
