Yup, I work in Livonia, MI.  I checked a local Target there once just for fun,
but pickings were slim and nothing was on sale.  It was the first place I ever

I tried taking advantage of one of the on-line clearance sales, but I imagine
you've heard (experienced?) about how that WBStore thing went.  That was my
first experience and I got shut out.  Better luck next time I guess.  The idea
was to have it shipped to my work address so I didn't get bled dry on shipping
charges, and then bring it home with me.  The value of my order was so low
that I wouldn't have had to pay duties at the border, either.  Oh well
<sniff>

Yep, I also had a problem.  I got the 2 smaller sets I ordered, but the big train
set (4561?) didn't come (it got cancelled like everyone else's).  People here are
pretty good about announcing on-line sales, though it is also the case that on-line
sales are reported on r.t.l.  Plus, there is flamingoworld.com and deal-finder.com
for coupons.  People also mention prices that they've found at local stores; I
assume somewhere in the greater Detroit area there is a Wal-Mart, and probably
there is one by Livonia, so it might not hurt to check there once in a while and
scan the prices.  There probably is a lugnet.loc group for Detroit or at least for
MI so the locals can help you find sales (assuming you haven't already scouted the
local stores).

I haven't bought any Adventurers stuff yet (only just got back into this LEGO thing recently because of the Star Wars sets), but it does look pretty neat.
