Greetings:

I visited my first Costco this last weekend, as they are (slowly) making
their way into central Texas.  I was hoping to find a shelf filled with
their latest clearance items as identified here in .shopping.  However, not
only did I find no LEGO sets, I could not even identify a toy section where
things like that could reside.

So, when Costco gets LEGO stuff, where do they usually place it?  I've got a
year free membership at the one about to open near our apartment, but if I
can't find the LEGO sets I probably won't go much.  (I don't really have a
need for 50 lb bags of sausages. ;P )

Thanks,
Naji

(...) I'm not a member, however they still list items on (URL) The Lego Sea Scorpion, Celestial Stinger, Planetary Prowler and Arachnoid Starbase all list for $14.99 each on the site. I believe non-member can order for a 5% markup. Dave (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Well, this probably isn't terribly relevant but I've had the same experience with BJ's (I dunno how popular it is out west, but here in the northeast it's a big Costco competitor). They seem to have a very fluctuating toy section-- it moves (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Those items were available only through the website (costco.com). However, I believe they are all sold out and have been for some time. --Bill. (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Lego usually shows up in Costco in July. Sometimes they have some good deals, sometimes only so-so. Rose "Naji Norder" <n.norder@computer.org> wrote in message news:GE9DH3.Fsy@lugnet.com... (...) not (...) where (...) a (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)
