I haven't seen this posted yet, but I went in my local Walmart and they had
the Adventurers "Air Zeppelin" #5956 marked down to $9.00!  They've been on
sale for $14.00 lately, so this is another discount.  Not a bad deal!  I had
to pick up a couple!

Last night I picked up one at $9, but decided to wait on more since my
local Wal-Mart has at least 30 of these "hiding" in a very out of the
way place. I'm hoping that the price drops even further, then I'll
clean them out.

I managed to find one, and since I have plenty of white 6-wide boat bows I needed
some black ones...not to mention that great grey porthole piece (that I always
need more of)!  An excellent set, and it comes with a barrage balloon for my navy
yard.

I also picked up a couple of the $14 "bonus" packs (mostly for the
Rock Raider's crew and the nifty blue case), about eight each of 5938
($3) and 6033 ($2), plus all four of their remaining 5978 Sphynx
Secret Surprise for $9 each. Not too shabby!

My nearby WM has about 15 of these.  I'm watching them--last time they clearanced
a promo pack like this, I got 5 for $10 each--worked out to less than 2/3 of a
cent per piece.

The odd find of the day was a single 6572 Wind Runners that scanned at
$1. Would have liked more of those.

We have Solo Subs and Treasure Transports at $1 and $2 each.  Lots of them, too.
I also managed to find more Oasis Ambushes at a Wal-Mart nearby--at $3 each, a
steal!

Does anybody know if Wal-Mart continues cutting prices until the
merchandise is gone? I'd hate to miss out on some of this stuff just
because I was waiting for a lower price.

I think it's up to the individual store after this price point.  At least it
always varied in my experience.  My "grrrRR!" of the day?  My local sweet-Walmart
has three Sting Ray Stormers, still listed at $69.97 each.  Argh!

best,

Lindsay

(...) I checked again today, and other than somebody shifting things around, nothing has sold since I tore through things on Monday. There's about 5 copies of the promo pack left and I'd like to get them all if the price drops a little more! (...) (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
