Anyways, just two pennies from the local David Horowitz wannabe

Lindsay, who's David Horowitz?  I'm sorry, being Jewish I know a few David
Horowitzs.  :-)  Kind of reminds me of a license plate holder I saw one time:
Another Goldstein.  There's a reason these names are so popular but it isn't really
a topic for either of these groups.

Also, for the 3 Pittsburgh area Lugneters and for the information of the group, I
went to the Ames on Library Road in Bethel Park, PA (SW Pittsburgh suburb) and was
able to get the 75% discount without problem (well, some of the sets didn't have
the discount in the computer but that was easily fixed).  They had signs
advertising the sale right by the SW Lego, which was with all of the other Lego and
not separate.  Their selection was not that good, but they did have some of the
2000 stuff (no more Slave Is though :-)).  They did not have any of the ATT, MTT,
or the MF.  I am going to try a couple of other local Ames stores and see if I can
find a couple of B-Wings and maybe even some of the new stuff.

Thank you to Marc Nelson Jr. for the heads up.  This is the first non-internet sale
of which I've been able to take advantage.

(...) Sorry for presuming everyone's as consumer-savvy. ;) David Horowitz is sort of like Ralph Nader in being a consumer-rights advocate. He had a TV show back in the early 1980s called "Fight Back!" where he took on business disputes and (...) (24 years ago, 31-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.pa.pit)

(...) me (...) That comment made me do the confused-doggie-head-tilt (rarf?) too. I simply pointed out the words "ENTIRE STOCK" and the Ames management acquiesced. I think it was intended to apply primarily to the designated "Star Wars area" items (...) (24 years ago, 31-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
