It occurred to me today that 50% off specials are not limited to S@H,
and the same "get lots to minimize shipping cost" principal would
apply.  A LUGr has setup a page that lists all know internet sales,
(not including S@H) and there are a LOT more sets than the weekly
specials from S@H.  Currently there's a bunch of Star Wars sets,
not to mention 5561 Model Team, 5988 and 6195 are a good size,
and 6097 for James?  http://xezol.hispeed.com/webdeals.html

It's a good possibility, but someone with more time than I should check and
make sure these places are willing to ship to Canada.  I've run into that a
few times trying to cash in on a good deal.

We could get a whole pile of X-Wing, Y-Wing, DVTie, Sith & Naboo
ships, plus major plates and train doors from the 5561s, castle
pieces from 6097 or others, etc.  What do you all think?  I'd expect
Joel would love all those Star Wars ships - Is he on this list?

<redirect>  OK - forget the list, I'll post it here where it belongs...

Hmm.  My preference would actually be that this sort of thing be on the
mailing list and not Lugnet.  It's of zero interest to the general community,
and there's no need to archive it.  It's just noise here, IMHO.
