I don't know the answer to that, but there is a GMLTCer that might. Her hubby
is a Dayton-Hudson exec.
I do want to add that there is a certain digit (digging around here will tell
you which, I think it's 4) which means that Target isn't going to drop it any
farther. If the last digit of the price is 4 cents, that's it. Only local
intervention is gonna do it. And I don't think Target managers have much
authority. They are about the best retailer out there in their segment, so
everything is figured out in advance

I'd spend 25-30 on one to mess around with it but I think the general opinion
is that it's not very well done, too inflexible (track and wheelbase are both
fixed).
