What random older set did you see in a store?

My local Barnes and Noble has Sphinx sets and I stopped at an out of the way walmart yesterday and found 2 Space Police Galactic Enforcers on the shelf! Marked at $90.

I saw a couple space police sets, some 2010 star wars sets, and prince of Persia sets in a Mom and Pop toy store for full price.

Perfect thread for me... I found a Jay's Storm Fighter 9442  today at target for 2.70...perfect condition.

I found a whole pile of 7207 Fire Boats earlier this year. I've assisted them in finding better homes.

A couple years ago I came across this set in the wild: http://brickset.com/detail/?Set=3560-1 (NBA Collector's #1). It's from 2003 so it had to have sat in that store for at least 7 years before I picked it up. Unfortunately, it's only worth about 10 bucks.

 

That's the oldest I've found so far, but like JoshTX, I've seen a couple space police, prince of persia, toy story sets and such around.

Those crappy alien sets are at my B and ******.

Yeah, my B&****** still has some Alien Invasion sets and a couple Pharoah's Quest lying around, still full retail

Found a few Zombies sets and a few Dino ones in a small local toy store last month.

The owner operated toy store near my daughter's school has a 4404 Land Busters set on shelf, as well as a couple of Jack Stone sets from 2001. Their Lego window is decorated with a poster from the mid-80s showing some of the sets (like the 6374 Holiday Home) that I had when I was a kid. Actually I still have them and recently passed them on to said daughter.

Found a 7961 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator for $30 at Walmart (horrible box condition) and a 7956 Ewok Attack at Target for $6 (tax free because the system couldn't find it), both from this year. I can't remember anything from the past years so don't know about anything found prior.

Found this for 17 at walmart clearance today. Box was beat. Opened and retaped with packing tape. It is complete though.

Nevermind the nijago---I also bought a vultraz robot for $7 at the same store in clearance--in a beat up box.  I didn't realize it was sitting there for 5 years.  Set number 8698 is the set number.  Not worth anything---probably build it.

I saw one of the 2006 Knights Kingdom's hero type sets in a meijer for 50%/$10 off last week.  I passed on it, since it has a very minimal demand.  Always weird to find a set from a while ago, I have this dream that I will go to a store and find a really classic set.  Like going to a Lego store and having the manager say, we have a 10179 in the back we just dug up...

Found some Harry Potter polybags today in target - "the Lab".

Same here. About a handful of them hanging around the other Lego for a couple of weeks now. My Five Below put these and some other polybags back out again in a diffent spot from before. (Way to confuse your customers, Five Below.)
