To add a new data point, the local WM has almost 30 of 5956 (the dirigible
set) on an endcap, and about a week and a half ago they were "stealth
markdown" to $14. Well this week I scanned them again, and they are back up
to $19.97. Similarly, two weeks ago the WM combo pack for this year (with the
blue case) was marked down to $22, but this week it is back up to $29.97.
WM drives me crazy!
