Here's the scoop on what I've seen, and what a friend pointed me to, in
addition to my last post on Moviemaker, Fire HQ, and others at one local
Walmart.  I'm not interested in shipping any sets for interested parties, I
have enough work shopping for myself and friends.  Sorry :o(

Location/Item     #      Sale Price  Reg. Price

Target.com
T-Rex Transport  5975    $24.90      $49.99
  (also marked as clearance in-store)

Costco.com
Sea Scorpion     6160    $14.77      $35+


Target In-store
Movie Backdrop   1351    $14.94      $59.90
Mobile Outpost   6520    $ 7.44      $29.90
Ice Surfer       6579    $ 1.25      $ 4.99
Research Glider  5921    $ 1.44      $ 5.99
Speed Dragster   6714    $ 3.74      $14.99

Big Kmarts (sparse selection, have to hunt)
Highway Const.   6600    $20.00      $79.99
Destroyer Droid  8002    $12.00      $49.99

TIPS:  Even if marked for Clearance, still scan if you can, often
Kmart, Walmart and Target prices will scan lower if they have been
on the shelves for some time.  Kmart has kept their Clearance "aisle"
active since December - and occasionally a new item shows up on the
shelves.  Don't be afraid to hunt behind the boxes on the shelves,
many a "find" is in the back or mixed in with MegaBlocks, of all things!
(as others have noted).  Ask a sales rep for clearance - they sometimes
point you to "odd" locations for some steals.

(...) My local Target was out of these, but I printed out the webpage listing the price, and the manager at my local Wal-mart matched it. You never know until you ask! Henry (23 years ago, 4-Aug-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I found the movie backdrop now at 75% off in NYC. But I was more pleased to find one last B-Wing for $7.99. Yum! Other than that, it's shelves after the swarm--picked clean. -Erik (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I found two Watto's Junkyard's at one Target in Tulsa for $12.44 each. they were marked at $30 somethin but scanned at the lower price. I tried to take my receipt to another target to have them match the price but no can do. Oh well, I'm still very (...)
