Any idea what week # was on the sticker on the shelf near these sets?
(If there was one at all?) I'm trying to figure out what rhyme or
reason there is to when something gets marked down.

I hit a few Wal-Marts this afternoon and the prices here have been
holding steady for weeks: Zeppelin at $9, 6434 for $24, 6198 at $63...

It's very frustrating.

given that I'd offered to buy all three they had for $75 just last week,
but oh well--at least I got *one* of them, which had been placed in the
wrong area of the section and thus was missed by the bargain-hunters.
