Nate,
This is a tremendous find, how far did you have to drive to get to Montreal<
If you crossed state or international lines for the sole purpose of getting
Lego, then you my friend are the man!  Jon

Following a tip from a kind soul who emailed me and told me the location of
several 6706 Frontier Patrol (http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6706) I went up to
Montreal, Quebec and found a gold mine.  Sitting on a store shelf were
roughly 25 of these 6706's all marked down to $2.99 Canadian.  This equates
out to about $1.89 US.  I quickly got a cart and proceded to load up the
sets.  My army of around 100 has now grown to an army of around 170.  You
can rest assured that I will be traveling back to the Great White North come
payday next week to see what else might be lurking around that store....Just
thought I would share my amazing luck and publicly thank the kind soul from
Montreal who alerted me to the sets!!

Nate
