The target I was at today had 3 or 4 4561 Railway Express sets for $90. Is this
a good price for this set? I'm mainly into technics.

I stopped by my local Target (Cary, NC) while I was out this morning and
found that markdowns had been made on LEGO (and lots of other toys).
Selection was a little different than above, I suspect largely due to what
they have left after the Christmas shopping season. No Slave/Landspeeder
combo packs and no A-Wing's either but I did find Exploding Banks for $20.
I haven't seen one of these in a while and assumed they had been clearanced
and I just never heard about it.
Prices seem to be either 25% off or 33% off. In addition to the clearance
items on the normal shelves, our Target had a clearance area right inside
the front door with tons of LEGO stuff. I don't think I have ever seen this
much stuff on clearance at this Target ever.
Now the waiting and gambling game begins - buy it now or wait for the price
to go down? I will probably wait for the 50% round (except for the
Exploding Banks which I bought today). Very little makes it to 75% off
here, so waiting for the final round of clearance usually means you end up
with nothing!
