Is it just here in Detroit, or does Target's post-Christmas clearance
stock seem unusually sparse this year?

I made a stop at one of the Local Target stores on the 24th, and there was
NOTHING to be found!  There were maybe 15-20 lego sets TOTAL on the shelf.
I was totally amazed, i'd never seen any store that low on stock.  Must have
been a hell of a clearance sale.

They must be learning.  Drat!

I scored:

8 Mos Espa Pod Racer sets @ $54
2 Technic Motors @ $22
1 Rock Raiders HQ @ 48

You know, they had these--but I'm not interested in the Podrace sets yet,
because I scored one at $54 from K-Mart a month or so ago.

I was surprised that they even HAD 8 pod racer sets, let alone that they
would have them AFTER Christmas.

All of the stores I went to had at least three, one had six.

2 Gungan Subs @ $30 (No other Star Wars on sale)
5 Amazon Ancient ruins @ $48
Small quantities of various Nija sets
Com Link Cruiser

I wanted ComLink Cruisers!  I also wish that River Expedition was on clearance,
but it's not--however, Gungan Subs and Sith Infiltrators (both on clearance)
were common as dirt, as were Droid Fighters with the ever-so-useful brown
slope-bit, x4.

I didn't buy any of the later sets because I ran out of money.  :/  Oh well.
I'll see if the Mail Man brings me anymore money tomorrow and try some of
the other local Targets.

Buy some for me, will you?  I'm poor.  :)

best

Lindsay
