Oh yeah, now I remember back around 1996 or so, I went to Shopko (kind of like Wal-Mart back in the pre-Super Wal-Mart days) and just happened to wander into the toy section where they were clearancing off some of their SW toys, including their X-Wing fighters which were going for six bucks each!!! I had one of the old white ones from the eighties but I had been hard on it over the years and broke off the canopy and eventually the s-foils stopped working. So I bought three of these X-Wings for less than the retail price of one. Still have them in the box and unopened packed away somewhere. For some reason that store would regularly clearance out many of their toys, so I'd keep returning. I got many other deals from them. I think I got a Naboo fighter for under ten bucks as well. I also bought a large number of various figures for around $2 each from them over the years. I bought SW Monopoly from them for $5. I don't even remember all the stuff I bought from that place, it has all been packed away and unlooked at for years.
