50% (and more) off @ Zellers

Sorry I forgot to post last night. Yesterday Zellers @ Hillside had a few sets on 50% off the already reduced yellow sticker price. Some Technic tractors and large Racers (with pull-back engines). Might still be some there for any interested. (I picked up the only Exo-Force and Ferrari sets.:D )
