I totally agree about TRU, I mean what is their deal??  Why keep the full
retail prices?  I just do not get it.  I mean when my employee discount card
for them was still active, it was a TAD better (TRU emp. discount = 10%) :(
but now, after 2 months it has been cut off and oh well.  The only thing the
one close to me that has been marked down is the droid fighter - down to $3
and the landspeeder down to $5 and the speeder bikes down to $7 WOW!  What a
deal (NOT!!).  I wonder if they will ever discount the other sets, maybe
they are waiting untill you can NOT find the sets ANYWHERE else, and then
you will have NO choice but to get them there - hmmmmmm  Whatever the plan
is, it sucks!

I found some deals at a local Target that might make your head spin, or
might not because after the X-mas clearance they sound rather bland.  Keep
in mind that these are NOT markdowns, but regular Target prices (maybe
matched?).
-3409 Championship Challenge $29.99 (down from $49.99)-
-5975 T-Rex Transport $29.99 (down from $49.99)-
-5955 All Terrain Trapper $23.99 (down from $29.99)-
-6575 Polar Base $29.99 (down from $59.99!?!?!?!!!!!)-
There may be others, but those were the notables.

Strangely enough, just around the corner is a Toys R Us with OLD sets
(1995!?) that have NOT been marked down.  Why is anyone's guess, I just
think they are LAZY!
Here are the notables:
-6195 Neptune Discovery Lab (still $89.99)-
-6175 Crystal Explorer Sub (still $34.99)-
-6155 Deep Sea Predator (TONS still $19.99)-
-1782 Discovery Station (TONS still $49.99)-
-6441 Deep Reef Refuge (still $59.99 chances are some came from KB)-
-6558 Shark Cage Cove (still $29.99)-
-6497 Twisted Time Train (still $39.99)-

I mean COME ON PEOPLE, GET RID OF THEM!!  I just want the manager to let me
clearnce them and MOVE 'EM OUT.  I'd help, but we the LEGO buying public
move on if things is old/ we have one already/ or got them cheaper elsewhere.
Me, I'm clearin' out Target.
Bye :o)
