The last (and one of the few - maybe 1 or 2) time I did this was a couple
months ago when I was late for dinner with some friends and remembered that
one of their daughters had a birthday the next day. I snagged a Duplo set
off the shelf at Wal-Mart and paid full price for it.

Oh course.

I think Lego makes the same from set XXXX that Wal-Mart sells whether
Wal-Mart sells it at full price or 75% off. I could be wrong.
