G'day all,
So since I work in Michigan, but they don't have any Ames stores, I had to
scheme up a way to get in on this 75% deal. Option #1 was to drive to Ohio
and start looking. But that required actual effort. However, option #2 only
required me to call my folks in New Brunswick and ask them to drive the 30
minutes into Calais, Maine to act as my "agents".
Yes, it now appears I cannot sink any lower :] But hey, after talking to the
manager, they scored, so at least I get to fill my lowly world with a few more
Star Wars kits :] They made off with 8 sets, most notable a Gungan sub and a
pair of Flash Speeders. Least notable I'm now finally own the Droid
Starfighter..., two of them :[ Oh well. The selection was really bad. They
only found 5 different sets, so they took 2 each where available (3 of the
sets). Sounds like that store was already cleaned out before the sale hit.
So instead of re-enacting the Snow Speeder scenes from Hoth, I now get to have
Flash Speeder races :]
