Hey everyone,
I was in my local Zany Brainy today and noticed that, among all the
flotsam being unpacked (read Pokemon), there were almost *35* Technic
Space Shuttles. None were priced. I took one up to the cashier and she
said rather confidently "Oh, those are $79.99 each." I asked her to
scan it to confirm, and she did--and was surprised to report to me that
they were listed at $149.99.
However, I have a feeling that they're much like the UFO Interstellar
Starfighters and Neptune Discovery Labs ZB got a month or two ago; all
the stores get them, and a couple of weeks later, they run a sale at
about 1/2 off to blow them out. Her sureness (and her response when I
asked her outright) indicates that these sets will probably "suffer" the
same fate.
So the purpose of this post is just a "heads-up" to watch your local ZB
for both the shuttles and the sale--and if you have any valid coupons,
hang on to them for a few weeks; they may come in handy...
best,
LFB

| Yikes, I hate the back button.... Anyway, I just wanted to add that the ZB near Potomac Mills Mall has around 40 of these sets also, and I figure that they will treat them like they treated the 5571's last year. The pricing went something like this: (...) (25 years ago, 22-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
