I finally arrived in Charlotte, as did my two boxes of LEGO (thank you
American Airlines), about an hour late and began my journey back to Raleigh.
I would have loved to stop at every Target and Wal-Mart between Charlotte
and Raleigh (and there are a bunch of them) but I decided I'd better get
home ASAP.  After four hours of driving I finally made it home.

Today, I took my kids to my local Target (the one that hasn't had any LEGO
clearance in almost a month) to look for some mittens (which they don't
have, they have bathing suits now).  Each of my kids had some Christmas
money from their grandmother and wanted to buy a toy.  So we are standing in
the Hot Wheel aisle and what do I spy - a 4561 train set on the bottom of
the LEGO shelf.  I think to myself - there is no way this set could be on
clearance.  But I scan it anyway - $32.44.  I can't believe it.  After all
of the calories I burned in Dallas looking for one, I find one at my local
Target.  Unbelieveable.

Mike, I can't fully express my feelings of Jealousy! Arggh! I'd be happy to find a 4561 at $70! The only one in my area is at a Meijer store and it scans in at full price. Frederick. Enjoy your find. (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
