Hey Renard,
I'm in Texas! Home of the wide open spaces! The trick to finding legos
down here is that we have fairly large communities/towns that are pretty
much located in no-where land! The population is mostly farmers, ranchers
and such, and they don't like to spend a lot on toys. So the stores don't
move a lot of merchandise. By seeking these type of places out, I can find
stuff that wouldn't last a day in the larger cities! I don't even try
there. Also, I usually end up driving 200 miles or more seeking out these
places. This store had 14 of those railway sets at 50% less than a week
before. I thought there would be at least half of them left! I suspect
some afol may have beaten me to it. So it's not easy finding stuff even in
no-where land! Sometimes it just takes a little luck and timing. I think I
was lucky this time. Believe me that it doesn't happen that often. You
have to just keep trying...
regards,
Tom

I wasn't able to get back there until late on Wednesday, and almost all clearance LEGO was gone. I wanted to get a 4561 for my son's birthday, but (...)

| (...) snip Well, I am in the SF Bay Area, don't want to get too specific because there are still some targets at 50% that have some lego that can make me a decent profit on ebay if I can get them at 75%. I visited 6 Targets last night, 3 were at 75% (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
