The sale seemed to be over in my local Target (Danvers, MA).  I rushed over
there last night, and found three RIS on the shelf.  Two were new, but one
had been opened and had the remnants of a red clearance sticker on it.  All
were priced and scanning at $199.  An inquiry to the manager didn't do me
any good.  They were keeping all three sets at $200.  Bummer!

I was at a Target in NJ and picked up a RIS 1.5 for 119.99 and two addon set for 12.44 each. They were in the cleance section marked for 32.00 each. My jaw droped when the scaned for 12.44! Yahoo!!!! Anyone know where there are some railway express (...) (27 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general, lugnet.robotics)
