I think it was the same. It was a big box and it was fairly heavy. It was
in mid to late January that I saw this. The Harley itself was blue and
white. It is not uncommon for the Wal-Mart near me to have very aggressive
clearance pricing. From the LEGO perspective very little LEGO ever gets
clearanced. I spoke with a LEGO rep last fall and she told me that this
particular Wal-Mart moves the most LEGO of all the retailers between
northern Virginia and Atlanta.
