| | | Well, It must be a mistake in thier database, cause it still shows up as $24.96 in the search results list when I search for "droid." I suppose we should have assumed mistake here. :) (When you go to order, it comes up as $54.83 as Todd says below.) (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.starwars)

| | | | Yesterday at about 5:30PM EST I ordered 2 sets, online at $24.97. I had noticed the 24.97 price on the search engine about 3 days ago. At that time they rang up as 99.97 (ouch!) I just kept checking and they finally came up correctly priced in my (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
