Wow. I've never found anything worthful in any FAO, sounds like you got really
lucky... FAOs are usually extremely over-priced, I sometimes browse there but
I was amazed to discover that their prices are higher than the lego S@H prices
(that include shipping, for gosh sake!)... The only thing I bought there was
the 1200pc bucket. I didn't even know it existed so at $25 it seemed like a
great find (at the time I was green to US shopping, didn't know that FAOs were
over-priced). And it was, even though I can find it for $19.
Too bad you can't pick those up, I'd love some DMs and RKs... anyone else
around there?

| (...) The big FAO in Manhattan still has Pirates merch. The FAO in Menlo Park Mall still has an Armada Flagship for $65, Unitron sets, etc etc. It's because they're so pricey! Go check it out... best Lindsay (25 years ago, 14-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
