True, we came upon it quite by accident. Our mail box is in the Bay now and for
laughs I said to my wife that we should have a boo. (There being a LEGO Store
there soon apparently). To our surprise we noticed a few very battered sets on
a table. We bought them all. It wasn't until the next day that I realized it
was on almost all the discontinued Lego Stock. Xan went back the next day and
snatched up a whole host of sets including most of the Rock Raiders line. The
largest RR set is pretty cool. I went the following day and picked up another
large set and started pulling stuff off the shelves to see if it was 50%. To my
great surprise the Star Wars buckets were on sale and I snatched up the two
they had.
It was a good day for Lego and a bad day for the wallet... Christmas money well
spent me thinks...
Now I think we need a bigger house. No room for our stuff... SMIRK
