I have never seen this tub go for less than $14.99 and this is only the
second time I have seen it get that low. Of cause, I will probably prevent
it from ever getting lower than that here. I finished my buying spree and
unless I get some more people in BAYLUG picking some more up for me, I am
stuck at 280 tubs this weekend, 20 short of my goal. That includes 128 on
rainchecks. With movement like that, it is unlikely that a chain will drop
it further. I cleaned out every store I could find within 100 miles.
This is truly a good deal, as it shaves $250 off the cost of each train
module. I have enough basic bricks now to make 10 modules! Woo-hoo!
Let's just hope these tubs stay around for a while - I will need another 300
in about 4 months.
