Well, they were exciting for me-- my knees actually got weak when I spotted that Paradisa box on the shelf tucked under some Res-Q set! I was headed up to the cashier clutching the box in my sweaty palms to beg, wheedle and coax her to check the back room for more when I saw a whole display of LEGO near the front of the store. And there they were-- a whole stack of 6416's! And they were $14.99! And now they're mine! (No, I won't sell any-- Paradisa is my ultimate favorite and I will NEVER have enough! Although I MAY break a couple up for parts to pay for my binge.) But of course, you probably want to know what else of interest I found.... What I bought (and will not part with unless it's for something really good like a Velux house or a Maersk truck or something): 6416 Poolside Paradise $14.99 6024 Bandit's Ambush $1.99 (how could I resist at that price?) 4267 Special pieces bucket $4.99 (some were marked $7.99, but all rang up $4.99) Haven't opened them yet, but judging from the packaging, the boxes appear to be European and the bucket Canadian. Also of interest, but which I didn't buy: 3032 a bucket of 600 bricks $4.99 4128 650 piece bucket $14.99 6492 Time Cruisers Navigator (Hypnocruiser) $4.99 6333 Tow n Go $3.99 5958 Mummy's Tomb $19.99 6584 Extreme Team Challenge $34.99 6479 Emergency Response Center $39.99 6442 Sting Ray Explorer $12.99 6199 Neptune Discovery Lab $49.99 plus several Cyber Slam sets plus more I went to two different stores and their stock was not identical, so it would be worth checking around. Post if you find any other good stuff! Maggie C.

Great find! Can you give us some more info like Did both stores have the Paradisa sets? I know you said they weren't identical but was the Pradisa set one they both had in common? Second, where? Are you on the East coast, North west, Texas, etc.? (...) (24 years ago, 25-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

		6416 Poolside Paradise (was Re: Exciting finds at Toy Liquidators aka KB Outlet)
I have been thinking about this and it sure seems strange. Where would this quantity of Paradisa sets been hidden for the last 3 years? I don't recall ever seeing them in a S@H sale or on a speical page in the catalog. Very interesting how these (...) (24 years ago, 26-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

		Re: Exciting finds at Toy Liquidators aka KB Outlet
(...) Maggie said she's not selling. If anyone else runs across these, I will buy all you are willing to sell me at a 25% markup from your cost, for project use. (that is, the ones you sell me will not be seen again as sets, but rather as parts in (...) (24 years ago, 26-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

		Re: Exciting finds at Toy Liquidators aka KB Outlet
(...) Thanks for posting this message! I dashed to the City of Commerce (SoCal - the Assyrian-styled "Citadel" ex-factory on the 5 freeway) during lunch and snagged all eight 6024s they had (hidden high on a shelf). I'm a happy camper. I also found (...) (24 years ago, 26-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

		Re: Exciting finds at Toy Liquidators aka KB Outlet
(...) Post if you find any other good stuff! The Toy Liquidators in Williamsburg, IA also had all these deals. I cleaned out the Bandit Ambush sets, and picked up some Paradisa and Time Losers (for 80% off!). I also noticed that they had a small (...) (24 years ago, 27-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

		Re: Exciting finds at Toy Liquidators aka KB Outlet
(...) I hit the Toy Liquidators near me today and cleaned them out of the stuff I wanted. Lots more junk left there, but it was all the insectoids crap and mostly overpriced Ninja and Adventurers stuff, even on clearance pricing. I got 2 6416's (...)

Maggie, A light snack, but a good one. Thanks for the heads up. The clear quarter domes will come in handy, I think. - Greg (...) (24 years ago, 29-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

		Re: Exciting finds at Toy Liquidators aka KB Outlet
(...) None at the Gilroy store :-( (...) They had bunches of these, but marked "Race and Chase" <shrug> Of possible interest as parts fodder is the 6567 Speed Splasher, at $1.99. It's almost too dorky to build, but has two 1x8 red tiles, a 1x2x3 (...) (24 years ago, 29-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
