WM is at it here in Houston too - the formerly $50.00 5978 Sphinx's Secret
Surprise sets from the adventurers series are $9.00 each! The 6434 Roadside
Repairs, 6432 Speedway Transports and 6424 Rig Racers are still $20.00, $9.00
and $9.00 but be patient - there's still quantity on the shelves. The sets that
are discounted and left besides these 3 speedway types are the adventure desert
themed sets (not the jungle ones) and the 6000 series ninja sets.
Pricing is really at the discretion of the individual store managers so if you
can, shop around at your WalMarts and try a little negotiating - it might just
move those prices down faster.
