Oh, no trouble!
FYI, there *were* a number of ZBs selling Shuttles at 25% off the 50%
clearance price. Several AFOLs got them, including myself.
Unfortunately the 6 I picked up got resold to friends and colleagues,
several of which I got hooked on Mindstorms. Now I don't have any for
MEEEEE <snif>, so I've ordered the other 4.
Apparently the main office got wind of the 25%-off-50% LEGO deal
(likely because of all of us calling every ZB in the country -- I got
mine in AL, I live in NY) and put a stop to it. This I saw on one of
the LUGNET forums and heard directly from a ZB employee (please don't
ask which state, I don't recall).
Great deal while it lasted, and if you have a local store still making
the deal my advise FWIW is to keep it quiet and enjoy your luck!

(P.S. - The vast majority of ZBs are out of stock on the Shuttles, and
those who have any typically have less than four.)
