Lets see, hmm, last friday night. But it WAS at the LIC on a
discontinued Paradisa set :^)
I have bought some of the new SW sets already as well as some LOM
sets, I also got a bunch of 'my' theme castle sets at regular price,
missed them actually when they went clearance locally. I buy other
themes for parts, the cheaper the better :^)
There is no guarantee when stuff goes on clearance a AFOL will acquire
it, we have to battle the 'unwashed masses' for it ya know :^)
The clearance will be their either way, we are just taking advantage
of the opportunity in front of us to get a bigger bang for the buck.
At least that's MY take on it, YMMV.

All other themes are just spare parts for Castle! :^)
