Score! Joel, you are an angel. Thanks for the heads up. Any chance you
can work a miracle on my wallet now and allow me a second trip? :)
Your prices are basically right on. $10 sets are $6.90, Droid Escape $4.40,
same 30-35% they often do online. Also saw:
A-wing $10.40
AT-ST $6.90
BattleDroid Carrier $6.90
Women's Team $6.90
other old soccer also marked down
2001 Alpha Team sets were about the only thing immune to the red tags
Happy hunting everyone and enjoy the holidays!
