    Re: ZB deals —Christopher L. Weeks
   (...) Why are these prices so good? It my local ZB the 4565 (pretax) is $100ish and the 8480 is $75ish. They also had a sign up saying 20% off any one LEGO set but they wouldn't apply that to the sale prices. (Even though neither the sale ad nor the (...)

     (...) They'll be long gone by then. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the 8480's aren't gone today... (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
   
        Re: ZB deals —Tom Stangl
   (...) Well, that particular ZB WAS applying the 20% WITH the sale price. Note I said WITH, not ON the sale price - they added 20% to the 50% off on the 8480, giving 70% off, rather than taking 50% off, then 20% off that - so you save a lot more. (...)

        Re: ZB deals —Christopher L. Weeks
   (...) Thanks Tom (and Mike), I needed a kick in the butt to call and you provided it. The ZB person seemed annoyed at whomever spread their phone number around so I chose not to mention Andreas. She said "I've even had people from Canada (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

They couldn't honor the additional 20% off, however, but 4565 shipped UPS ground at $99 flat rate is good enough for me! Check (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
   
        Re: ZB deals —Ray Sanders
     (...) < much snipped > (...) Well, if zanybrainy.com would offer the same thing that the stores do, then this would be routed to a more efficient channel. One that is designed to handle a 'thundering herd' :-) Ray (who has no Zany Brainy store (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
    
         Re: ZB deals —Brian Lanning
     Everyone should know that the $48 space shuttle price comes from 50% + 20% off and they'll only do the 20% on the first set so any additional sets are only 50% off. Still a very good deal. Just ordered two. :) brian (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
   
        Re: ZB deals —Tom Stangl
   (...) You'd think they'd be ecstatic, as they have cleared a LOT of floor/shelf space by selling off those large-boxed sets. Last year when I bought out 18 5571s in one go, the mgr was very happy to sell them to me, even though they had to ship them (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
