(...) Hehehe. I um... visited... several different Targets today. Two of them weren't marking stuff down to 75% off, though. I got pretty lucky at my second stop and cleaned out some motor kits, a couple of pit droids, a Trade federation MTT (worst (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Unfortunately the stores around my area were hit n' miss too. I nabbed a Guarded Treasury, a Battle Droid, and a Pit Droid at 75%, but everything else was still only at 50%. I was told to "try next Wednesday" but no explanation as to why some (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

AS USUAL, the Bay Area is stubbornly refusing to drop prices along with the rest of the nation. I'd like to have a word or two with the Regional Coordinator for this area.

Unfortunately it wasn't the first Target I hit and I had (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I just got back from a Target this morning. This was one that isn't as well-trodden as the others because it's tucked out of the way in a smallish town. I was happy to see a couple of Mindstorms accessory kits, but they were still scanning in at 50% (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) As well it should: of the 3 Targets I've checked this week, two were down to single-digit quantities of sets on clearance, and the third was barely into the teens. Ditto for Wal-Mart. Why would they want to increase their losses when half-off (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Oog. My Target only had the AAT on sale, and it was only $5 off. There were a ton of A-Wings on the shelf, but they were full price. I picked up three more Droid Escape sets, tho. :^) ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I really do miss the turnpike.... But that's another story. Here in the Milwaukee area there are only 2 Targets and for the 2nd week in a row there are NO!! markdowns. I mean nothing at all. Last week there was 1 Primo set in the clearance isle and (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)
