I plan to visit the local Target the next few days to check the 4561 Railway
Express as often as possible for a 50% or 70% discount. I bought one at 65$
plus shipping last summer and was satisfied with the purchase at that cost.
If the cost were at a 70% discount I would purchase all of the sets available.
I am also eyeing a dozen blue base plates at the local Zany Brainy that have
been marked at 5.99$ all year and I hope they go on deep discount next week.
I just wish when I walk into a toy store next year there will be new sets
that I drool over. This didn't happen this year. I remember ten years ago
when I was amazed by the Lego Isle at Toys R' Us. Oh well, (sigh)
