The WM near me has the Super LEGO value sets on clearance for $14 - this is the set with the Rock Raiders crew, ResQ Speedboat, Ninja Blaster, Frontier Patrol, and a LEGO Classic set. Oh, and a blue Technic case. I snagged one because I was thinking (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Lot's of Mummy Tombs are left out where I am, just about everything else is gone. I'll probably wait for another round of reductions on it before I'll bite. Annoyingly, the Stone Tower Bridge is still $39, but the Wal-Mart person there thought (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) The WM here had a couple of these for $15, but I passed and haven't seen them since. (...) I haven't seen the Sphinx set at the local WM for a long time. I did pick up another Mummy's Tomb for $14 though, as well as an Oasis Ambush for $3. I (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I believe the reason for the zip code inquiry is to target areas for direct mail flyers and newspaper advertisement... if you only have 5% of your customers coming from a large remote area do you want to spend as much putting a suppliment in their (...)

(...) TRU does that around here, and Radio Shack has long had a similar phone number policy. One of the ZIP codes for Juneau, Alaska, is 99801. Just use that! 8^) Dave! (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) TRU in Victoria did that, I just gave them my work postal code (which covers a post office...and about 6000 of us :) V9A-7N2 (it used to be, Vodka Or Scotch, One Bottle Only (V0S 0B0...quite aplicable to us navy types...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I worked for Tandy for nearly five years. They asked address information, and in fact if your percentage was below 90% of customers giving information, they were liable to discipline or terminate you. My percentage was nearly 98%--it's weird (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

No. Please use "08904," so that Wal-Mart by my house will stock an absolute TON of Lego and be forced to clearance it after Christmas^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hso that I can valiantly take the brunt of the Wal-Mart marketing behemoth for my fellow (...)

(...) When asked for a zip code, I usually give them a zip code that is obviously a lie - such as 90210 (as in Beverly Hills 90210). That generally pisses off the cashier, but I have never been accused of lying when I've used it (in Iowa and (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) For fun, see if you can locate the FPO zip code for one of the fleets. That would definitely mess up the results. If you want a middle-of-nowhere zip, let me know. There are small towns all around me. Some of them probably service less than (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.theory)
