Do the Droid Developer Set's count ? WM has them at $24.97 (regular price) even
tho they used to be $99 elsewhere.
I'm scanning back thru my inventory now. Probably the last time was almost a
year ago. I bought a Roadblock Runners at a far distant WM. I had never seen it
before and did not feel like driving back that far to get it later. Prior to
that, it was probably a Shipwreck Island I found (WM again).
These days, I barely look at something unless its at least 50% off. The stores
are awash in clearance Lego product. All you have to do is burn some some non-
replaceable fossile fuel to find it.
