Ok, so I'm on vacation.
But i was travelling thru Normon, OK and we needed a bathroom break and i knew that good 'ol HL was having the 1/2 off Estes Rockets sale.
So we stop in.
I throw down a CC Express and the RTF version Mini Marz Lander.
Then I get to thinking: I got 1/2 price engines last time (in Denton, TX), do I get lucky again?
So I tell my wife what's up. She says to load the cart up with engines, go up and check out, and if the engines aren't half off, tell the cashier that I misunderstood and say i don't want the engines.
I think this is a good plan and we go for it.
So I load up the cart with the two rockets, a pack of wadding, and a crapload of engines.
Lo and behold - SHE GAVE ME THE ENGINES HALF OFF TOO!!!!
So I ended up clearing out the store from all of their "E" engines and D12-5's, with a few others for good measure.
For 1/2 price, I got the following: 4 x A3-4T, 1 x C11-5, 3 x D12-5, 4 x E9-6, 3 x E9-8.
Too bad they had no D12-7's..... I sure wanted some.....
But you can't beat "E" engines that end up $2.50 per engine. Find me a blk pack or whatever that's a better deal.
