I had that same hunch and went back to a store (60 mile round trip!) where
yesterday they vehemently denied that the sale prices would be coming down. I
was thrilled to get two copies of that lovely color-coordinated set Dino
Research Compound for $19.94 each. Also Exploration Mars for $12.44 and a
really trashed Vision Command for $24.94, even though I'm not a Mindstroms
person... hmm... Brickbay?

I found some of the employees so clueless and exasperating that I admit I was
almost as angry as Tom S. about it, and I had to restrain myself from
dispensing a little vinegar of my own.

I agree. The funny thing was when I went to recheck my local Target, it was
closed because their power was off due to the rotating power outage we had
today. And I couldn't wait around because I had to get home to hide the LEGO I
HAD bought before I went to pick up my kindergartener so he wouldn't beg for it
(I guess I'm guilty of concealing LEGO too!).
