It's interesting, here in the Raleigh/Durham NC area, a couple months
ago, I couldn't find any Lego at the KB stores. Now, with the clearance
items, they all have it (they did have one good deal, which is now
probably closed - they had 6444 Outback Airstrip marked for 9.99, they
have increased it to 12.99 - still a good price, but not awsome. I
picked up about 10 copies at the 9.99 price and a couple for 12.99, the
last 4, their register had been updated, but the boxes hadn't been
re-priced, so I got them for 9.99). The other items I consider a pretty
good deal are 6441 Deep Reef Refuge for 34.99 and 4012 Wave Cops for
9.99 - there are other sets I've picked up, but these 3 sets are the
real deals in my mind, I may even still pick up more 6444 at 12.99).
