Forbidden Ruins) on sale for $49.99. Considering that this set's MSRP is 79.99,
I thought it was a sensational deal, especially for Toys R Us, which still
resolutely sells much less desirable sets of the same vintage for full price.

Bought two of them for parts, since this set is a great source of beige pieces
which I have an fondness for. There were plenty more left. Don't know if this
is
a national sale, or unique to this particular Toys R Us.
