A regular price drop to $80 would be nice, then Amazon would have no excuse for
sending me this lame excuse for cancelling my order:

"We are sorry to report that we have contacted the supplier,
and the price of the following item has increased:

"MINDSTORMS Robotics Discovery Set (9735)"
                                NEW PRICE       OLD PRICE
                                $149.99         $74.99"

I have a $30 gift certificate at Amazon, which is why I'm hoping they can come
thru with this. The set is going to my son for either birthday or Christmas,
and I really don't want to spend $80 on one gift. Heck, I don't want to spend
$50 on a single gift, but it's too cool to pass on.

There's been at least one report of the *regular* price on this set being

starting about 22-Jul-00.

(...) I just double-checked, and I goofed: it was actually $90, not $80. Which is good news for me, because I have one to trade/sell, and I won't have to take as big a hit on it ;-) Ran (24 years ago, 5-Aug-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
