(...) Keep looking. I've noticed that many Targets here in L.A. tend to rotate what gets clearanced in the stores. These RIS 2.0 sets started getting clearanced back at Christmas and this seems to be another round of clearancing for them. We've had (...) (23 years ago, 12-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Where's your area? In my area, (mpls/stpaul) some targets had it for $99.99, some for $139.99. They've been that way for more than a week, so they're probably all gone by now. I got mine! (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)
